Hello everyone,

I just received my 25 from a fellow BF member (thanks Justin) and I did not realize how stout it was.

However I am very pleased with this CRK. I normally carry a small classic and just recently a small 21 Insingo; that may be the reason this 25 feels so beefy in my hands. Nonetheless, IMHO it feels absolutely typical CRK, perfect.

Anyway, I snapped a few pics at work with my iPhone.

Thanks for looking.
 
Great knife, glad to see you enjoy it :)

I'm in love with the 25 as well, sending my last 21 back to the shop, and selling it when it returns. Will be all 25's from here on out.
 
Any chance we could see a small 21 vs. 25 comparison pictures, particularly in-hand? I carry a small regular all the time, and usually stick with other 3" folders as well (including a few 21s). I love the idea of the 25, waiting for a small 25 to be produced (please please please!!), but maybe if the 25 doesn't look silly big in comparison I could make the jump to the full sized 25. My hands are on the smaller side and I'm just not sure that finger spacing of the 25 would work for me, but I've never really seen comparison pictures of both in-hand.
Thanks in advance

Thank you Justin, now I see what all the fuss is about.
 
billygoat78,

I could take a crappy cellphone pic with my iphone if no one else has anything, but if you're on the medium to large glove size, and normal size fingers, (my ring finger is a 9) hand size around 10, the 25 should feel like it was made for you. So far I've put it in the hands of my wife who has smaller hands, but no hot spot, and a guy with huge mitts who said it didn't give him a hot spot but hates frame locks so thinks it sucks.

Woops! Forgot to hit send while I ran AFK, alwayscarryaknife is FAST!

Thanks, those pics help a lot. I wear a medium, sometimes small glove (in a very few brands, if I want a super slack-free fit). The small 21 appears to fit in your hand roughly like mine fits in mine, and the 25 doesn't have an inch-and-a-half of handle butt sticking out like I feared it might. The blade definitely looks larger than I'm used to, but that's not surprising. I might have to snag one sometime. I tried carrying an Umnumzaan before because I really liked that blade shape, but it was a bit much and that weird bump on the lock-bar hit my hand all funny. The 25 looks quite promising

I agree with you amike5757575, the Sebenza 25 is a workhorse and one heck of a knife! Congratulations on your purchase.
 
My 25 arrives in the next day or two. I know that you guys are tingling with anticipation.
