What CRK options and features (blade steels/shapes/sizes, back spacers, handles, graphics, designs, etc) from the past would you like to see return to new CRK knives? What current features do you hope never go away? What option/feature would you most like to see included in the future?

For me....I am fairly new to CRK but think the feature I would like to see returned would be the old nail nick. Current feature I hope is around forever is the Insingo blade shape. Future feature for me would be multiple blade steel options (as if we need more reasons to purchase knives).

I realize CRK is very purposeful and makes changes to improve the overall quality and usability. They certainly know more than I do and don't have capacity for all the suggestions we can generate. That said, I thought it would be interesting to hear some opinions for others, especially those of you that have had CRKs for years and/or have had many CRKs.
 
I would like to see the Regular Sebenza handle and blade shape with the new ceramic lock set up, that and a totally plain Jane Umnumzaan would be real nice. I have no issues with blade steel or anything else so I'm happy to just wait and see what might come from CRK in the future. :)
 
I would love to see them offer Damascus and wood inlays with the Insingo, both sizes. I would like to see the 'regular' blade shape reissued with a 25 handle.
 
I would like to see the brown micarta used on the Nyala offered as an inlay on the Mnandi and 21
 
I'm looking forward to seeing an Insingo blade in a 25 handle. To me, that would be the ultimate. I too would also love a Damascus Insingo blade. Would also like to see different steel runs.
 
Of course that damascus Insingo blade would be a great feature.
Maybe let's start with wood inlayed handles on the Insingo.
:) can't wait.

PS: You are not alone with your feelings about the old nail nick on the Mnandi.
 
I would like to see, as HAZE said, the Large Regular Sebenza re-released with the updated lockbar.........I also would like to see CGG from the past allowed to be offered in newer versions, ie " Native American ", among others..............AND something ALL of us I think would like to see is the Return of the Annual Sebenza.
 
I would like to see the large and small regular brought back as well as some of the more popular older cgg designs.

I'm having a Moon Song large regular scale refinished now.
 
Having the Regs brought back would make the allure and appeal (for me at least) of having the unavailable Regs somewhat diminished; ie: having a small 21 isn't nearly as exciting as having a small Reg because the small 21 can be bought anytime/anywhere. That being said, if they brought them back I would buy them!

I would like to see wood inlays with sandblasted frames and stonewashed blades (same as the micarta Sebs). For some reason, I have an aversion to the satin finishes.
 
I'd like them to start offering the swedges in their knives again.

I just called the other day and CRK said they no longer offer that feature anymore. Kind of lame, seems pretty simple enough to do and I'd pay the $35. for it.

Oh well.

Also would love them to actually grind a sharpened swedge into the upper portion of the insingo blade... that would be awesome.
 
I would like a Ti-lock, all silver hardware, no blue, no brass, with a stonewash blade and blasted dark handles, and no peanut cut outs in the slabs, just plain. That would be badass in my mind.
 
I'd love a 25 with a pivot bushing and one-piece micarta inlay, ala the annuals.

And a small Zaan would be kinda' cool.
 
Damascus -25 Insingo with a "Come and take it" CGG ......Put a fork in me!!!! Bart

Aye! :thumbup: By far my favorite blade and handle of the "traditional" styled Sebenzas. (Though I love the small Insingo as the perfect complement to the large regular.)
