The 1st cut is the deepest. Do you still own your 1st CRK?

I wish I still had my first crk knife, which was a small regular sebenza. It got lost a few years ago when it got accidentally thrown away:( I have replaced it many times over, but I still wish I had my original that started me on this road!
 
My first was a box elder Mnandi that I purchased in early 2006. I held onto it until late last year, it moved on to a new home.

I've got both a small and large regular from 1997. I still carried the large pretty often until I got a 25.
 
My first CRK was a One Piece Knife, the Shadow III. My first Sebenza was a Large Regular in BG-42. I still have them both and would never part with them.
 
Hell yeah and I always will!
Large 21 micarta tanto.
Been through hell and back.
 
I sold my first, a small 21, but in the time I owned it I used it every day, polished the front scale, then later anodized it. Only lost $50 after 2 months of use and 3 different finishes so I don't regret it too much. Also, the guy who bought it sends it to me from time to time to either recolor it or sharpen it so I actually get to see it sometimes and not miss it!
 
Yep still got the first one.....

Yup, got my small plain Jane 21, thought about selling it a couple months ago but I'm really glad I didn't, I've had it since August of 2013 now and it's my only one, but right now the only one I need
 
Only on my second CRK, sadly I did not keep my first. It definitely made me realize why people love CRK, but I just did not like the tanto blade shape, so I traded it for a regular bladed 21. Now it is usually a tispine or sebenza by my side.
 
1st was an Um from 2011 in 2011 , S30V old style
2nd a PS
3rd small 21 S30V
both in 2011

still have and will keep all 3, TOP examples of CRKs
 
First was a small plane 21. Sold it not too long ago and immediately regretted. I also owned an umnum and a 25. Both terrific knives, joy to handle but too big for me so I sold them both. I'm now looking for a small plane Jane Insingo or knife arts cf small Insingo. Wish me luck :)
 
I still have my first one, a small 21 with Ebony inlay. Although I usually carry a large I still really enjoy this knife.

 
Yeah. I still have mine and carry it more than any of my other knives. Plain Jane large 21 with dbl thumb studs and polished blade. I used a scotch brite pad and self polished the handle so it wouldn't scratch. It turned out really nicely.
 
I own 4 CRKs. 1- LG SEB and 3 fixed blades. Not only do I still have all 4, but CRK the only mfg I have bought multiple knives from and never sold a single 1. Guess they are doing something right. At least in my eyes.
 
Still own my 25! Been about 15 months since I bought it. I'm not sure if it will ever go but I'm going to cherish it as long as I have it :)
 
I still have my 1st. Small bocote. My favorite knife, I've turned down a beautiful Honduran inlay sebenza for the common bocote because of the sound it made. No other sebenza I have or tha I've handled at the stores make the sound mine makes. I still makes that sound til today. Such a sweet click.
I own only 3, and they were bought within a 2 or 3 month period. I have very little desire for any knives anymore, i do want a real nice one like a pure white mammoth or the abstract swirl of box elder, I just don't see too many I can handle in my hands in search of that right click. Internet would be very difficult as my Internet bought large has a more dull click when you open blade.

I would sell my large Gabon sebenza and blood wood mnandi in a dire situation, but the bocote if possible would be buried with me :)

You gotta post pictures of that knife now! I know what you mean about them having different sounds. There is a noticeable difference between the sizes, and probably between inlay vs Plain Jane, but now I gotta check if each knife has it's own unique sound!
