Tanto Umnumzaan
Star-Tac
Tanto Sebenza 21
Mediterranean Sebenza
Cocobolo Sebenza

Tanto 21 Micarta is my favorite by far. The Mediterranean just came in the other day, after a considerable wait. Its sweet, not sure I want to carry it its so nice but it may ride in the supplied leather pouch from time to time.

I'm really interested in getting a Star-Benza next as I really think the textured titanium scales on a 21 would be pretty damn cool (like the Star-Tac).

As a self proclaimed Tanto nut, I've considered sending the Star-Tac to Razor Edge to have it reprofiled into a tanto but I've yet to pull the trigger. Sure would be cool though!

I've messed with plenty of different knife brands, sold off a couple CRK knives to buy others but in the end, most of the other knives have come and gone and my CRK collection is growing. I couldnt be happier!
 
Nice collection! Next you need a CF 25, they are my favorite.

As much as I like the Micarta inlay'd knife, I was thinking about a Micarta inlayed 25 at one point. I've been keeping my eye out for a deal.

I've only ever handled one Carbon KnifeArt knife and other than the weight advantage, i didnt feel any benefit to the grip like I do the Inlayed knives.

I'm actually the exact opposite. I don't like how the inlaid scales feel in my hand, so I much prefer the Sebenzas with out it, and with the CF the balance feels just right to me. Sure, you may lose a bit in regards to grip, but with that sized handle and with the use I will be giving the knife, the slight loss in grip is negligible to me. Of course everybody has different preferences, but regardless of preference your collection is great! Are you going to Blade?
 
That's a nice well balanced collection you have there. I've got five tanto's myself.
I think a micarta or a WC 25 would compliment your collection nicely.

They are all going to be used. Most have snail trails and wear except for the Meditteranean as its still brand new.

I daily carry an Emerson CQC-7 and only carry these after work and on the weekends.
 
New family pic!



Scored a Starbenza and a Snakewood Damascus 21 recently. Very happy to have them home.

I have a plain Large 21 Tanto on the way thats going to be sent out for engraving and from what ive seen, its going to turn out amazing! Very stoked about that one!
 
That is a very nice addition to the family! Snakewood is my favorite inlay that CRK offered:thumbup:
 
Thanks, its my favorite inlay also!

Looks like the Cocobolo will be giving way for a Starbenza 25 making my Wilson/Reeve collection complete and adding the only model I'm "missing"... the 25. :)
 
Traded the large Cocobolo 21 to complete my Wilson Combat Trifecta:





Of course a few days later I found a Mnandi in Cocobolo I couldnt say no to. Shame lol

I really need to add a small 21 (tanto?) to my collection now...
 
I like those three, too. Wilson Combats really float my boat. I was looking to pick up a WC 25 to add to my group, but found a really nice deal on a Plain Jane 25 and pulled the trigger on that one. It's my 6th CRK, but first PJ and I'm really surprised at how much I like the unadorned slabs. Of my three WCs my only CRK is the StarTac. Here's my trio (for now)--hope it's not in poor taste to post non-CRK pics here. :ambivalence:

I dig it!!! I had an Eagle but sold it. It was very thin in my hands and i couldnt master the flipping action.
 
My Eagle drove me nuts for months tinkering and trying to flip it. I finally lubed it with TriFlow which contains PTFE (Teflon, like the washers) and it flips great now and is real smooth. Takes a bit of a light-switch, but not exaggerated. I'm glad I stuck with it until I got the knife and the technique right.
