Only One CRK?

This would have been a bit of a hard question before, but i am certain now that my small mammoth bark inlay sebenza 21 would be the one i would choose.

I love the large sebenza, but there are other knives in that size that i like more.

For a three inch blade i haven't quite found any other knife that could fill the place of my small sebenza, my william henry comes damn near close though.

Amazingly, as much as I disliked this knife when pic's first were posted, today it would be my one-and-only should that be necessary (shudder):

So this is really for real? Sorry to say, but I almost feel like this is a psychology experiment to see if CRK fans will accept almost anything CRK puts out. Sorry to sound so negative - I'll stop commenting on this knife now.

I never would have imagined this. Haha. I'm glad folks like it.
 
ya know folks this is the conundrum I'm in. I don't have a CRK and am looking to purchase one I have been convinced a CRK is all I need. now the ? is which one. I am not a collector I'm a user and I follow the rule of "Use it up wear it out make do or do without." so I will only be making this purchase probably once.

So here it is. My CRK choice.

I posted a question in a review comparing the 21 to the 25 and the reviewer pointed out some good points and it got me to thinking. My choice would be a knife appropriately name apex or summit in a cool sounding word from a different language. Enter the "Isiqongo" Im no linguist but I think that word is Zulu..

It would essentially be a Sebanza 21 except for a few modifications. First take a 21 and modify it with the ceramic detent interface of the 25 keeping the 21 bushing pivot.

Second I would keep the single finger groove though changing it to match the 25's first finger groove angle.

Third I would use the blade profile and large hollow grind of the 25 but do the grind on the 21's blade stock. This i think would be a step closer to perfect. though it seems the CRK are 98% perfect there is still 2% to work with.

Yes I have a sickness...called "Indecisiveness." or "Lackoffunds" disease
 
Large Regular. That is the best edc ever made IMO. I wish some of the newer "Young Blood" could experience what I did the first time I held one. I instantly fell in love with it and that is not to say that I haven't tried almost every configuration along the way, but for me, the large Regular "plain jane" just can't get any better.
 
One of my Micarta 25s, hands down. I bought the right-handed version first, and prefer the stonewash on it better than the lefty one I bought a few months ago. So it would be a toss up between which one. If the lefty had the same stonewash it would be that one no question.

Good thing is I use it for everything since I don't worry about the stonewash on it. :)
 
Small 21 Insingo Micarta. Easy to EDC, razor sharp, stout as can be.

Thanks,

Ralph

I long ago decided that this would be the last one I believe would ever get rid of:

Why? These reasons:

1) Large
2) 1997 Regular
3) Unique Graphic that I like
4) Artwork carved and anodized by Chris Reeve (verified)
5) BG-42 Blade hand-ground back in the '90's

The pinnacle of the Sebenza line in my mind. This will probably be buried with me.
