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

[Blues]

I know this seems out of control and haphazard but I have a plan!

Of course you do. Never doubted it for a minute.

So, I didn't have a Mnandi, a wood inlay, or a Damascus CRK.
Just snagged this ebony/basketweave.

Just absolutely chuffed.

Guess that means I can call it quits, right?

It’s a beauty! Every CRK guy/gal needs a Mnandi.

I've been meaning to get a nice gentleman's knife for a while now, keep buying one and selling it off later because it's not quite what I'm after.
I have a feeling this one is gonna stick.

Just absolutely chuffed.

Bonus points for the anglicism.

Cheers, mate.

I’m 25 months into my 12-18 month lead time, for a Zaan, from 2021. I called today and they estimated another 6 months. I ordered it before the price increase but I guess that doesn’t matter. At least now it will be Magnacut. The told me the make around 2000 knives a month and get orders for 6000, so it doesn’t seem like it will get better anytime soon.

Swapping out my S45Vn Tanto Zaan with a new Magnacut Tanto I picked up yesterday!

Snagged a Large 31 Boomerang Damascus ... my first 31 is on the way.

Did you pick up that beauty from the exchange?

I did, very excited for it. I have a raindrop 21; but the Boomerang looks amazing!

Great catch! And you bought it from one of the good guys.

 

[BTTLBRN]

Snagged a 31 on the exchange today with my son's birthday; he just turned 21. I am very excited to present it to him on this right of passage Bday.

I was wondering what made you jump on that! Awesome gift dad!

Thanks, though I don't know if I can compete with your escapades. One sad thing, he will get to give Magnacut a try before me.

Seems like tripling the income would make one consider expanding the operation to meet the demand. Good problem to have

Good news is, many models are widely available. They make a fine knife.

That was basically my response to them when I called. I get both sides. They don’t want to over expand and they keep getting olders regardless of the wait time. But they did say they had expanded considerably. As someone who is frequently working out of service of a cell or computer it makes ordering directly more desirable. I am on notifications list from several retailers but by the time I see them they are often gone. It seems like they focus more on filling dealer orders than individuals. Either way I like their knives and will wait, and I’m glad that is an option.
