So I've owned a few chris reeve blades in the past. First was an umnumzaan that I really enjoyed, but I could never get used to the sharply angled lockbar that hurt my thumb from repetitive action cycles. Then I managed to borrow a Large 21 from a colleague and see how I liked it. I liked it quite a bit, but there were small things I wanted to tweak. The hollow grind would drag a bit when cutting through cardboard, the single thumb stud was occasionally a downside, and overall it was a great blade, but I wanted a little more. Then I finally got a 25 in the mail today. All I can say is Wow, I understand all the hype now. Chris Reeve knocked it out of the park with this baby, the single, solitary, only thing I prefer on the 21 versus the 25 is the 21 has better jimping to me. I love the lockup, the flat grind, the thicker feel, the more stout action, and definitely the finger choils and double thumb stud.
 
Haha! Awesome to hear you got that bad boy in the mail today! You're right, it is one sweet knife!

My favorite CRK to date! I think it can only experienced in person with the 25, especially when you put it to some use.

I'm happy for you! :) Cheers
