My latest CRK acquisition

link2derek · Jan 23, 2011

Got this one in a trade with another BF member. It's a 2007 Small Unique Graphic in "pre-loved" condition.
The scales have a few scratches, but the blade is like new and still has the factory edge.
I am very pleased -- this makes #14 for me.

Let me know what you all think. . . .

Beautiful, nice pick up!

Few more pix of the graphic.
You can see some of the light scratches -- I'm considering polishing those out,
and maybe scotch-briting the other scale as well. Any thoughts on that proposition?

Interesting. What is it called?
The lanyard looks nice with the graphic.

I have no idea what it's called (Birthcard just says "Unique Graphic"). Do they even name the Uniques?

Thanks for the compliment on the lanyard, too -- it matches fairly well with the colors in the graphic.

First thing I thought of when I looked at it is a dreamcatcher.

Anyway, that's a nice one.

Thanks, Adrian. I'm diggin' it! This one might kick my small 21 out of my pocket for EDC.

Beutiful knife, like the lanyard too.

Dreamcatcher is not a bad choice -- I may just go with that.

I was just doing some research, and it appears that the Uniques are not named (which makes sense because there's only one of 'em!).

Thanks for the compliment and the idea!

It strikes me as being a little too nice to use? Definitely go with dream catcher, that's a good one. Looks like it may become a safe queen?

Actually, because it already has some scratches on it, I am even more inclined to carry and use this one! I already have plenty of Safe Queens!

And thanks for the compliment!

NICE!!! that's always good when some one can take a really good looking knife and say "hey I spent my hard earned cash on this bad boy, SO, I am going to use it!" Hope your journeys take you to good places.

I think it is gorgeous and the lanyard complements the graphic very well. Very nice acquisition. :thumbup:

That's one dope graphic!
I dig the lanyard colors and how they complement the graphic!

link2derek · Jan 23, 2011

Thanks, ZTKT! The colors actually match better in person, too.

That's a great looking and unique knife. I love the graphics and color combo. It's almost too pretty to use.

Almost! I don't think there is such a thing as a CRK that shouldn't be used. After all, they are designed first and foremost for use -- the fact that they are works of art is just a bonus.
