So it has been a short while since I've joined and because of you guys this is what happened. Yep, I blame all of you. 
It started out simple enough. I wanted the best folding edc *didn't know what edc meant back then* knife available. Sure enough, many pointed to the "Sebenza".
I was like 350-400 dollars is a lot of money for a knife. I then justified to myself that it would be my end all knife that I carry. So I bought a small Sebenza with micarta inlays.
Then,
I needed a larger knife... for larger tasks. So I bought a large Sebenza *plain* and that covered my edc/large cutting tasks.
Next, I heard about a gentleman's knife. Oh, what is a gentleman to do but carry a gentleman's knife. I bought two at the same time. Boxelder of course because that is everyone's first Mnandi wood choice and Lignum Vitae with a decorative pivot pin.
I'm in too deep at this point.
Bought an Umnumzaan for my more aggressive tasks. When I really want to make that cardboard crap its pants.
Now I thought that I should get a regular Sebenza. Found one *brand new from 2007* and got it. Lucky for me it was a small version because I prefer the small Sebenza vs the large Sebenza.
So that one is in the mail and on the same day I see myself posting "I'll take it". Thus picking up my 3rd Mnandi. Cocobolo this time around.
There you have it. I think that is enough CRK's but then you never know what might pop up. I do carry all of my CRK's *not at the same time* and use them if needed. I didn't want to use the small regular Sebenza at first but hey, it's been new for 4 years already. About time it cut things.
Here are my crappy pics... hope you enjoy.
The boxes.
Some Titanium right here.
Boxelder Mnandi was my first choice.
Lignum Vitae with decorative pivot pin. Bad pics, the pin looks so much better in person as do the inlays. These pics are not doing it justice.
Cocobolo Mnandi. It does not look that red under normal lighting. If it always looked like this I think it would give Boxelder a run for its money.
That's all folks... mostly.
