Post your CRK carry knife for today.

And there it is, swap # 2 so knife #3 on the day.
It’s going to be awhile before this Zaan is out of my pocket so the multi swap days are over for a while!

Simply awesome!

This fella in my pocket for the evening. Still can't decide on the clip, right now it's clipless in a slip.

A real looker that one!

I was glad I found one w/DT Damascus. I figure those are only gonna get harder to find as time passes.

Oh, and thanks for the tip about opening it one handed using the nubbin. I can pinch it one handed, but honestly, using the jimping and nubbin to start it is a lot easier.

Thank you sir.
I’m enjoying your pics as well.

Thinking this might be going back to the Mothership. LBS is proud and off center a bit. I could probably just finish pressing it in but its brand damn new. Ill let them finish the job.

^ Very nice Kettleman , I am curious about the CRK tantos; it's the only blade shape I haven't had any experience with.

Is the edge angle the same at the tip as the rest of the blade? They seem awfully utilitarian, I would like to add one to my hoard one day.

 

[Kettleman]

BTTLBRN Thank you.

The tip angle is steeper, when sharpening It has a small micro bevel. I just touch it with with the sharpmaker and carry on. I just love the tango at work. To be honest I think the Tanto is just as good as edc as the insingo if you are not cutting food, which I never do. and nothing drawcuts like the Tanto!

That's quite disappointing. CRK is excellent but apparently not perfect. Too bad you don't have any other knives to use while it is away.

I was surprised to learn that the tanto edges are flat ground with a micro bevel. Was expecting a zero convex. I think the primary tanto grind is at the same angle as the straight edge, but as said above the microbevel is more obtuse. In the long run, I may flat grind my tanto Sebenza without the microbevel. It will probably cut better.

I agree with you, however would you then have to sharpen the whole of the flat?

Yes, but I emphasize long run. Eventually, microbeveling alone will shorten the width of the tanto bevel itself, thus changing the overall shape of the blade. Yeah, that would take a while. The other thing is that every time you use a microbevel, it gets a little thicker behind the edge.

All good points. Thank you.
