More Umnumzaan Madness... The Wilson Tatical Star-Tac Chris Reeve Umnumzaan 4 Types

mikepapa1 · Mar 1, 2014

So, thanks to another great member here on the forum Ajack60 I was able to add another link to my Umnumzaan obsession. Yes I know I had one of the "Late Featured" Star-Tacs but because of my other obsession with the packaging I sold it. Now (and again thanks to Ajack60 who by the way does not yet have any feedback but I will vouch for him here :thumbup So without further ado and another long boring post here are some photos of my ever growing Star-Tac Stable.
All the best, Dave

Very nice Zaan Man. I sure like that Wilson starburst pattern on the Umnumzaan and the variety you have.

Congratulations!

Falco57 · Mar 1, 2014

Now we can cleary admire them!
Well done!

Dave addition Dave. The pics look good to me.

I think something was missing though... Oh yeah, the long boring post...

I was looking forward to it, maybe next time.

Take care

Great pics Dave. You definitely have a thing for the zaans......lol. I never realized how many variants there were, especially in the star tac alone.....lol. I had the original, the original star tac and the original tanto from TNK. The only one that remains is the Original Zaan. I do like the updates CRK did to the thumb release and the CRK logo version lock bar stop. I will get another one someday.

Thank you Tom!! I never relized how many there were myself until I really started getting into the Zaan!!

But it appears I still have a ways to go!

All the best, Dave

That is a nice collection, no wonder you were quick to zap it up from me. When I learn how to post pics, I'll share my humble CRK collection, the knowledge I've picked up is mostly from exceptional folks here even though some of it is passionate, it's always good reading

Thanks Anthony!! Yes your Zaan was one missing from my collection! Thanks again brother! Can't wait to see your collection, especially your latest addition! :thumbup:

Thanks rexromic!!! I am having a hard time deciding which I prefer.. the Original Umnumzaan or the Star-Tac!! I guess I love them both!!

or should I say them all...

I sold my tanto Zaan last year and have been missing it ever since; and every other day it seems your posting pics of a different one.:grumpy:

Dave, would you do my wallet a favor and quit posting pics of your Zaans. lol

:thumbup:

I apologize gastonian !! But if just can't help myself!!

I love the Umnumzaan!! Don't get me wrong I also have a great affectation for the other folders from CRK.. Especially the "Regular" Sebenza. I actually have more of them than I do Zanns but the Umnumzaan was my first Chris Reeve Knife so I guess it will always be my favorite. I think I might not be alone in that respect..

All the best, Dave
But since you are missing yours here is a picture to remind you of it.
