Was excited to find the newborn waiting at the office when returning from lunch. My first CRK. Sorry for the crappy pic, but she's a beauty!

Congrats on your first Sebbie.

Very nice grain on that one...
 
Just traded for one of these! Due to my lack of feedback I need to wait for my knife to make it to CA, then for the small snakewood to make it from there to me in MD.
Looks like it'll be worth the wait, judging from the looks of yours...
 
Hmmmm, this CRK looks very familiar...... Just had to check my own pockets to be sure, hehehe :)

Aren't the snakewood inlays ridiculous (the good kind)?!? I've been enjoying mine (just ate a peach with it), and I hope you enjoy yours, too!

I see your location says west of Baltimore, you should check out "Edgeworks" down in Frederick when you have a bunch of spare time on your hands. Probably less than an hour right from B-more. They've got a handful of Sebbies that are really enjoyable to see in person.

Mine delivered just a day or so after your pics hit the forum. Seeing those photos just confirmed that I had made the right choice!

I had a little problem with the blade being off center, but I took the knife apart and reassembled the bushing/washers and now it seems just right!
 
Sweet Jesus, that's pretty! I just got a small with African Blackwood. The dark wood is okay, but that Snakewood is beautiful!

Man, I signed up for an all day seminar in January a half mile from Edgeworks JUST so I could stop by there on the lunch hour. Parked, walked up to the door, sign said "Closed today and tomorrow, sorry for the inconvenience." What a miserable afternoon that turned out to be. :mad:

Oh gee, that's odd. The store is usually open 99% of the time. You mentioned January, so the store keeper could have been at SHOT show out in Las Vegas.

I haven't taken mine apart yet.. One reason is that the Allen wrench that came didn't have high enough tolerances for the knife :P and ive just been a tad lazy about digging up the Allen wrench set I have... Anyway, congrats again!
