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

I now have a small and a large glass-blasted drop point Inkosi on the way. I’ve wanted to get a CRK since I handled them at Blade West in 2005 and the design of this knife is exactly what I’ve been wanting.

It’s been about three hours since I pulled the trigger on the small and went in the search for the matching large. I’m patient, but I will be stalking the delivery trucks pretty hard over the next week or so.
 
This just in. 21's are my cup of tea, but really wanted to add a Magnacut to the herd, so incoming 31...

A visitor that I proxied a few years back is coming through here again. From the era of the first run of Mnandis, there were 200 numbered Ziricote inlays made, all had BG-42 steel. In this pic is the only unnumbered one I've ever seen. Based on the birthdate, Sept 18, 2001, CRK was at around # 70ish when this was made.

So….today I got the chance to recoup the “knife tax” that I recently paid. :) Purchased this one here on the exchange, thanks to a fellow BF member (thanks, @Olas40). This is one of those special ones that will be in my collection for years to come.
There are knives that have a personal and deeper meaning to us, beyond just wanting it because we want it, or it looks cool, or it can fetch a good secondary price, etc. For me, replacing the Small WC that I lost after hurricane Ida represents the feelings of perseverance and determination to reclaim some normalcy and happiness. It serves as a reminder that life can change in an instant, and the small things that bring us comfort on a daily basis should never be taken for granted.
