I was Super Lucky to snag my newest CRK on Friday of last week. It has been a LONG time since I was this excited about getting a CRK. I have owned aprox. 60+ ( never at one time ). Getting this pretty much wiped me out too as I am laid off from work currently and should not really be buying anything. But I have been selling some, buying a couple here and there............This CRK though has eluded me for years. I had pretty much given up on the fact of ever getting one.......until........!!!

Pics & Details to follow........stay tuned...!!!

Nope, The small sebenza is borderline small for my hands, and the umfaan is even smaller. If I found one for a good price, I would get it just for the collectibility factor. But I hardly ever seem them under $500 and most are closer to $600

Thanks, This is the first time I have been excited about a CRK in quite some time. After I got it, I checked out the pics a million times and was checking USPS constantly not believing something mailed Friday would actually be here Monday.....But is was. Going to upload pics now. Just so you know, she is dirty and needs a good cleaning, but could not wait to post pics. Enjoy...!!!

Okay, Here is goes................The CRK Gods finally delivered a long sought after CRK Grail..... I FFFIIINNNAAALLLYYY was able to acquire a Genuine P Sebenza. I say genuine because I have easily had aprox. 30+ sebenza go through my paws and have always missed out on one of these. One that has not been messed with. It was a service man's and has been all over the world. Iraq, Somalia; just to name a few. Now its here, safe with me.

I have wanted one of these for so long, but sometimes the sky high prices kept me from getting one. The closest I have come was my small P Style sebenza I have listed for sale. Its basically the same, only has the clip and no "P" stamping.

When I got this, I thought it was a small from the pics, but after looking and comparing the pics to the small P-Style I have, I thought might actually be a Large P Sebenza. When I got the package, I could not find my small sebenza classic to open the box, so I just grabbed my leatherman wave. ( I always make it a practice to open a new CRK with another CRK.... )

So here are the pics. You will see its in amazing shape. The blade has a few dings, but will sharpen out on the sharpmaker after a couple sharpenings. The handles have the buttery smooth used Titanium feel. You just cant truly describe that. Lock-up is in the 70-80% range I would say, which is amazing for a sebenza this old. Zero blade play in any direction and the blade is centered. I absolutely Love the Blocky feel of it. Kinda like the old Buck 110's ( Its more squared off, while the newer styles are all rounded ). Blade has lots of fingerprints from me. No spa for this baby, just a good bath.

This one is for keeps.........Enjoy...!!!

Congratulations on the score, looks great, nice lockup. Clip less as well, sweet.
