New Poll: What do you miss the most?

[kidcongo]

Here is a poll for fun (got the poll tool figured out). The goal is to determine what by-gone CRK features or products are most missed by the masses. If you could resurrect one feature or product from the dead, which would you choose?

PLEASE NOTE YOU GET ONLY ONE VOTE!!!! CHOOSE WISELY

Umfaan

Hey rolexkid. You can vote if you want to by clicking the first link in the poll. That way your vote stays visible if you want it too. Thanks

This poll needed to be multiple choice...I want the one piece knives back...the old Umnumzaan pivot and the old jimping.

I considered that, but I figured a lot of people might click everything, as I am sure most of us would like to have access to Chris's entire back-catalogue and body of work. I was thinking that with one choice you would have to choose wisely.

I voted for the Regular Sebenza but I would have gone for the OPKs as well if it was multiple choice. I fully respect the reason for ending the one piece knives but really there is not a comparable product made to date and that's an issue if you're a fan of integrals, as I am in a big way.

I see a blow out coming!

 

[sk8n]

I wish CRK would reintroduce damascus such as Zebra, Snakeskin, Bubblewrap, etc...
I do like the fact that Basketweave was brought back.

 

[kidcongo]

I find it very interesting that BG42 steel is currently the second most popular choice.

Why does that surprise you?

I have never had a BG42 blade, so I clearly have no idea what I'm missing. What does everyone like better about it?

 

[rexromic]

Umnumzaan old pivot and BG-42 steel.

 

[Ernie1980]

Easy pick for me: I love the look of the annual Sebenza inlays and would be thrilled to see them return!

I have had a few, personally I liked the finish better and the harder blade could be brought to a steeper edge angle. It is a devil to sharpen though!

 

[humblerodent]

Very hard choice. I voted for old Mnandi nail nick but I'd love to see the continuation of the Annuals.

 

[FoldersForever]

Annuals by a mile. Nothing else is even close. A distant second would be the Umfaan.

 

[stjames]

I also voted for the Annuals, this is the time of year they usually came out and I don't know what to get myself for Christmas anymore.

 

[tomhalv]

I miss the Annuals and all of the amazing inlays. Mammoth inlays were my favorite. Each annual was a special custom made knife from a production knife company.

Based on the poll results so far, if CRK found the 3.5 floppy disc with the regular sebenza pattern saved on it, and uploaded the program into the CNC, they'd likely sell quite a few knives. Even more if they were in BG42, and available as an annual. It would be so cool if they offered some limited edition 're-issue' runs of old patterns for the fans. Its gotta be possible in this digital age, where you dont need jigs, or templates, just data. Maybe someday that might happen.

If this happened, I think I would run out of money...
