A small 21 with black micarta.
The knife has only been living in its box, I basically got a new 21, but it will most definitely see a whole lot of pocket time and ditto usage now.

Hello All!
Two months ago, I was minding my own business, collecting knives that appealed to me. Completely innocently, I thought, what could be the harm of trying a Chris Reeve knife? Well, this is what happened to me:
If you think that is as bad as it gets, I have two more incoming--a plain sandblasted Small Insingo Sebenza with double silver thumb studs and the Elforyn Super Tusk Small Sebenza from DLT. I'm planning to get a Backpacker and a Box Elder Small Sebenza...Also, should I get a Tanto Small Sebenza?
Wow, I love CRKs! I love having one in my pocket.
I will say that I'm generally into knives with blades from 2.5 inches to 3.15 inches. I just don't need larger knives, nor do I travel in circles where larger knives are common. I bought the Umnumzaan because it doesn't some in a small size. I must say that I like and plan to carry it sometimes--just because I can. I don't have any plans for the Inyoni. Perhaps I will find a situation when it is works for me to carry it. I've thought of using it in the kitchen for routine thing--knives are meant to be used, right?
I purchased all my knives from CRK Authorized Dealers because I'm not looking to get scammed. I've gotten great service from all the ones I've used. I must say, though, that Chris at House of Blades has gone above and beyond--getting me additional photos, answering my ignorant questions, warning me that the Small Inkosi doesn't work for all guys. (I love the Small Inkosi, but my fingers are on the slender side, despite being longer than average.)
I'm eager to see how I like the Insingo blade. I can imagine it would actually work optimally for my everyday cutting tasks. I like the looks of the Tanto, but I don't do heavy-duty piercing and do worry about sharpening it well.
Oh, and I definitely need a glass-blasted Small Cross Hatch Inkosi--and nope I can find one with silver hardware.

@Manifolder, welcome to BF !!!!!!
you definitely dived deep in the rabbit hole with that nice collection. Don’t worry, the Inyoni is useful in the kitchen, I’m sure you won’t have any problem putting it to work.
The insigno blade will be more useful once you use it. I used to think the same thing, now I have several with that blade and use them all the time. I have several tanto blades, but I don’t use them as much as the drop point or the insigno blades. I’d say, you won’t know until you try one. I used to think the same thing about the Mnandi, that they were too small, but now I have three. Sweet knives.
