As long as you're in a "showing off" kinda mood, I would really like to see some better pics of these two beauties...

That "cyprus" wood handle is absolutley beautiful.:thumbup: It reminds me of fine chocolate for some reason:confused::thumbup:.

beautiful Jos :thumbup: thanx for the pic.....I can't wait to see the whole CRK gang :D
If I ever get the "stones" to buy a CRK.....it will probably be this A.Blackwood Mnandi ;):cool:

WH looks much better to me then CR. I wonder which one you prefer:cool:

I like 'em both:thumbup:. Both are real masterpieces of craftsmanship. Exellent fit&finish. The WH is more elaborate of course because of the materials used, but the Mnandi is beautiful in all it's simplicty. I've got a Mnandi with damascus blade on the way, that will be better to compare with the WH.
 
Great pictures :thumbup:

Do you "use" the WHs?

I have been thinking of Selling my XM and a Sebbie or two........to fund a B12 MCT

I would carry it and use it.......:rolleyes: Light use of course but, it would see cardboard here and there............

So do you ever "use" the WHs? :o

Yup. Not this one (I'm not going to carry a knife with diamonds and MOP around :D), but I do use one of my WH Legacy folders (the one with the laminated ZDP189 DLC blade, the damascus one stays in the safe!). It's a handy little knife, slipjoint (so no legal problems which we might get with locking folders:grumpy:), I like the leather pouch with the clip. Cuts very well, keeps an edge very well and doesn't scare sheeple.
