I would value the opinions of those who actually used them as they were intended. Those are the testimonials you should base your decision on.

Precisely my opinion.
 
"..........as Cliff Stamp has stated, the only reason anyone buys these expensive knives is for the mall ninja effect!"

What garbage. I bought my first CRK when I was 18, because I knew I wanted a knife I could rely on, and because I only wanted to buy that knife once.

Well damn, he had me convinced the only reason I bought my Sebenza and SnG was because I wanted to be a mall ninja!
 
Well, now we know that there are two of us CRK mall ninjas in Australia we'll have to form a posse.
 
I always thought of them as a pain to sharpen. If I freehanded them, I would eventually flatten it out, though it hasn't happened on my Opinels...Maybe I should get one for my HS graduation knife next year.
 
I own a gaggle of CRK products and I don't even go to the mall if I can help it.

The one thing about the knife, which I really like BTW, is the fact that it lacks serrations. It's not that I am hung up on serrations or anything but it seemed odd for a knife with connecitons to the Navy SEALs.
 
One of my first knives was a Benchmade Delta Raider (1989) with a recurved blade. It was annoying learning to sharpen it, but I'm very glad I made the effort.

I'm glad the Neil Roberts doesn't have serrations. The only reason I haven't bought a 5.5" Green Beret is because of the serrations. I can't see the point of wasting part of the edge on something I don't need or want.

The serrations thing has puzzled me a bit too, mainly the PART serrated blade. Seems to me all you're getting with a part serrated blade is the worst of both types rather than the best of both in one blade. I have only one part serrated knife, a folder, and I never use it.
 
I suppose the serrations might be useful if you had to cut a lot of cord/rope, but I prefer to use a plain edge for the cutting I do.
 
Don't get me wrong - I actually prefer the lack of serrations on most of my knifes and, in fact, most of my knives, both fixed and folding, are sans serrations.

My comment and inquiry was more directed to the fact that a knife with connecitons to the SEALs would be more likely than not to have serrations.

I also agree with losing a portion of the blade, usually the sweet spot, when partial serrations are applied. My preference is for a section of the spine to have serrations.

I thought that too at first but darned if I don't own multiples of these... some even in the same type hmmm how did that happen? maybe I am a mall ninja though I really despise malls and am no where near flexible enough to be a ninja- ever see a 6'5" ninja? :eek: maybe I am of the bigfoot ninja's?

I've bought a lot of pretty and interesting knives since I bought my Shadow 7", but nothing has replaced it as the knife I will keep and carry if I can only have one knife.

This might change after I carry the Neil Roberts Warrior for a while.
