The future?

[Shing]

I really like Chris's knives, I remember seeing a tanto in the late 80's in a magazine in England, it was tested by chopping breeze (cinder) blocks in half and other abuses and stayed in one piece.

I have owned several of Chris's knives including sebbies and fixed blades and without a doubt, they are the best engineered and best made knives at any price.

But I think there could be some improvements. I find the round knurled handle of the one piece fixed blades uncomfortable to hold and use. With CNC equipment, I'm pretty sure a more ergonomic handle shape could be produced at a resaonable price.

The sebbies are the best locking knives but in many countries including England, carrying one is often illegal and a slippy on the same lines as the sebbie or Mnandi would be very welcome.

Like all companies, constant product and process innovation is the key to prosperity and longevity.

CRK seems to be focusing on fixed blades the last few years. I'm with you though, some new folders would be nice.

I like the round handles. Some recent collaborations with Bill Harsey have a different style handle.

Right now, Chris Reeve is running just to stay in place, to keep up with current orders, and he did run off some new tanto Sebenzas, and came out with the Inyoni.

There are a few standard requests by the Sebenzanistas, like the Scout fixed blade as Piter modified the Ubejane, and a wharnecliff Mnandi, and a reissue of the Umfaan.
