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

Aye. Used for camping when I used to do lots of it. From 1988 - The Jereboam II. Who knew that it would be joined by three Sebenzas in 2015?...;-)
 
My first Reeve knife was a Project 1 - still have it. Next was a Green Beret 7" - still have it. My latest purchase was a Shadow IV - still have it. My next purchase will be an Umnumzaan.

Some knives are catch and release, but Reeve knives are keepers.
 
My first was an 2007 large regular UG that I picked up from a dealer, it was my first knife over a couple hundred bucks. I wish I hadn't sold it
Maybe one day I'll find another

That is an amazing UG. I've never seen one like it!
 
Thanks guys! That picture didn't really do it justice. Should have snapped one with natural lighting

The blue and purple fade in the anodizing was beautiful
 
Nope.

My first was a smal plain Jane 21. I now wish I still had it, but a great guy on the forum is enjoying the heck out of it.
 
This is my first CRK. The plain Large 21. There's actually a very interesting story about it.

As we all know, we're always wanting new blades. And sometimes we sell our current knives to get them. Well that's what I regretfully did with this blade. And as always, I regretted it immediately. About two years after I sold it the guilt got so bad I started to try and track down the guy that bought it from me. Thankfully I found him and when I contacted him, he was very understanding and offered to sell it back to me. Pretty awesome of him. Also, while he owned it, it traveled to Afghanistan with him on deployment. So this knife has definitely gotten around.

You can bet it will never leave my collection again!

Very nice! And great story to go with it

I sold a NiTiNOL SMF to a contractor that was headed to Afghanistan, never saw it again but I bet it would have some stories to tell

If knives could talk.... I keep a couple of mine that served me in the sand, too.
 
I do not have my first Sebenza. I sold it off to finance my Anschutz rifle for small bore silhouette competition.
I don't see my second Sebenza with an Insingo blade going anywhere. A really useful blade shape.
 
I do.
It is a large plain Jane 21 that shares the same date as my daughters birthday. It is never leaving my collection.
 
My first CRK was a Small 21 Insingo. I liked it to much I kept in the box and bought a small 21 plane Jane that I EDC.
 
I sold the first, second, third, and fourth CRK I've owned. Sold many and repurchased the ones I missed. I know the ones I like best now, and am pretty sure they are here to stay.
