Old style box vs new

Old style box 1,000,000%. The new one takes up too much space, lots of wasted space and not needed. The old box thinner style was perfect. Sebenza wrapped in the blue cloth. Was as perfect as the blades themselves. Just like the new Mnandi nail nick, it simply isn't needed.

Agree completely.
 
Old Box!!!! Can't seem to get all the s$#$$%% back in the new one either!
 
only problem I have with the new box is that, having cleaned my knife multiple times, every time I put the pieces back in the box and close it, I feel like I'm one step closer to ripping the cardboard folding tabs because they crease a little more every time. I wonder why the big change in the first place? It can't be cheaper having to put cutout styrofoam in the box. It seems to me they were trying to step the quality UP and in turn got disapproval from the masses.
 
I agree, the life span of the new box has to be pretty short. Maybe this is Chris,s way of getting us to use our knives instead of squirreling them away?

I say CRK should go back to the old boxes but have the styrofoam cut and inserted so that when you open the box, the knife is displayed, with all the paperwork , wrench etc UNDER the styrofoam...similar to how some watches come packaged.
 
Good thought, I agree.

I think they are.. I recently received 2 CRKs from spa and they came with the old boxes.

I'd love it more if they do your suggestion with the foam insert. Thats would just be awesome...
 
Ill always love the original set up with the knife rolled in the blue cloth/old box etc. It was always exciting to unravel it!
 
I like the old boxes. And it is fun to unravel you knife. Plus I ripped a brand new new style box the first time I opened it - arrrgggghhhh!!!!

I agree with this. I've wondered if they went to the new style with the foam because maybe in the old boxes, the knives would escape the cloth somehow and get scratched by the taped Allen wrench
 
Seems like the old box gets the winning vote. And I agree. Sure takes up less of my knife storage space.
 
#%&!$ I just got done doing a photo shoot of a knife I want to sell and it was a pain in the b*** to get it packed away in the new style box. Usually I leave the cloth out to store but this time I had to put it in. (Took me a while to figure out I had to tri-fold it!)
 
The new box is easy to repack, presents better, and offers far better protection than the old. I can't believe how many people would rather have a $500 pocket knife rolled up in a towel and tossed loose in a cardboard box with a hex wrench scotch taped to the inside of the lid.

The way it was rapped and packaged in the old style box it was never "loose".

For me personally. I like the new box for presentation, old box for functionality.
