The CRK Anticipation Thread - Show Your 'Inbound's!

Nice pickups Nyfe^ i will say the place you got them from has always had an awesome selection of inlaid 21's. Same place i got a few of mine.
 
I would love to see all 4 Nyfe. I understand completely. I'm on a mission to get one back I let go for a greater good. It's not special from a collective perspective, but it's very special to me.

It's will not be my only one. I believe this will make my 4th large 21 with Bocote. 2 are plain, 2 Damascus. They are all vastly different. I will post pics when I get the 4 together. Bocote is my favorite CRK wood. I have sold a couple Bocote over the years to fund other CRK, but I believe these 4 will be keepers. This one is plainer than the others but that grain just spoke to me.... Lol. Something about it that drew me in.

I had a pair of Bocote Mnandis that were both beautiful, but as different as 2 examples of the same wood could be. Beautiful knives, both of them!

Would you believe I have the original listing pics, saved and in rotation on my desktop background?

Yes, since 2013. Even this one:

Here is the one I prefer though:

Wow, so cool! And even more cool that it's making it's way back to Daddy! I miss that one myself, it was my fave of the pair I got from you.
 
Thank you so much for helping to make it happen. I would say you can have it back some day, but I realllly doubt it. Not even for that ROF :)

I tried, I really tried. I messed up and looked in the Exchange again, and lost my willpower. :o The stretched pattern of the Raindrop did me in, I just love that variation...

This is kind of funny. I've just bought a large Classic which was modified. Originally it had blue calfskin inlays. Somebody (not the seller) replaced them by stag inlays and did a pretty good job, I think.

From the seller pics it looks like that the guy who did the replacement also put some satin finish on the slabs, because I believe originally the classic slabs are blasted and do not have satin finish. The blade has this little spot next to the thumbstud. Not sure where this comes from. A few minor scratches are visible at the blade, the lockbar and the slabs.

Once I have it here I will decide whether I will take it as a user or whether I put it at my CRK display. Not sure yet, as the condition is not mint, but also not really bad. Need to take off the remaining blue color from the thumbstud and probably attaching a new lanyard. Although leather is a good choice to go with the stag inlays.

I know that "pimped" knives are not really keeping their value. But I like the stag inlays a lot, as this is really special. Let me know what you think.

I would personally find it hard to remove blue calfskin but it it were somehow damaged I would not hesitate to have stag inlay. That knife is gorgeous! Love the leather lanyard too!
This would be a good idea for CRK to pick up as a production!
If you decide you don't like"pimped" knives I think I could find it in my heart to make sure that poor little knife could find a good home. [emoji16]
