Hey all,

Just bought an old Umnumzaan from a member here. Totally stoked about it because I've gone through two Umnumzaan's, and I really prefer the old version with the larger pivot and no LBS. Anyway, it's going to rotate EDC duty with my Sebenza 25 which is just getting a real beating lately (and loving it).

I have some pictures of it -- but I had a question. I noticed that on the lock-side of this Umnumzaan, the bottom standoff screw has no hole in it on the lock side. It does have a hex hole on the presentation side. Is this normal? I don't recall this being the case for my last old version Umnumzaan, just seems a little strange to me. I thought there was a hole in the screw head on both sides. I don't think it's counterfeit or anything (it just screams CRK quality), I just don't remember it being that way on the last one I owned.

If it helps (not sure if this has anything to do with date produced), but I have "A 09" engraved inside the handles.

PS -- I know the scales and pocket clip may look a little different than factory blasting. He had a professional blasting done on it to give it a little different look and make it less prone to scratching/snail trails.

Thanks guys. Here are some pics:

Completely normal. That's how the original (the best:D) umnumzaan's came. Mine is from October '08, and is identical to the one in your pics.
Congrats on the new purchase.

Did the previous owner remove the o-rings?
 
Great to hear!

I removed the O-Rings...they were stretched out and it bugged my OCD. I will get them replaced eventually but I really don't mind how it deploys or handles without them.
 
Any decent hardware store has them in their parts bins, they run about .23 each.

Pm me your address and I'll send you two of the CRK factory o-rings. I've had three Umnumzaans and sold them all. Saw them in with my CRK boxes/accessories the other day.

Wow! Thank you so much -- just more proof that Bladeforums is a great place with great folks. PM incoming.
 
I have an older Zaan and I just checked.... same as yours. Enjoy!
