The kinda unspecified CRK talk thread.

It's especially impressive given that you've put that collection together recently. Well done!

Thank you my Friend. It's been a great deal of fun to learn about them and then hunt them down. Ive gotten lucky a couple times and some great folks here have helped out as well.

Pretty sure I know where pre Idaho 21 came from

 

[Kettleman]

There appears to be sub-hobby for vintage knives,

Ive never been part of a sub-hobby before, or a counter culture for that matter.

I don't think mine is the one you are thinking of. I actually never saw that one listed....

Mine was traded to a friend of ours and it still kind of hurts

 

[Mustacheben]

Im a huge fan of it. My problem is none of the knives I chose for my collection were offered in it.

Hey you can get a MagnaCut re-blade for that 21 you pulled in about 3-7 years!

 

[Kettleman]

It was offered but I was already fixated on the one I have inbound as it being a Jan 09 still sports the old post and screw hardware.

I notice that too. Some oldies but goodies lately.

Why are tolls popping up in the CRK forum? I guess it happens once in a while. Hope it’s not a trend.

I so agree, it's a trend we just don't need. As a group we don't tend to bother others.

I don’t go to any forums except here and the traditional forum but I am pretty certain the CRK fans are not causing a ruckus anywhere else. It’s just not that kind of crowd.

Occasionally I’ll give a troll the benefit of the doubt, and then I’m usually reminded that I’ve waisted keystrokes.

 

[Mustacheben]

Fresh touch-up, clean and lube ready to go 30 days. Kettleman if you look closely you’ll notice that is an Inkosi in the pic and not a 25.

 

[Modernflame]

You fellas wanna start the 30 day inkosi challenge right after the damascus month is over? Or would you rather have a break and fondle your other knives freely for the rest of December?

I'd prefer to start sooner than later, but I'm game either way.

Im game for either as well.

I’m leaving on the 22nd to go to costa rica. Won’t be back till 1/2. Definitely not gonna bring an inkosi but my ontario rat will be on the trip. No need to wait for me though, I’ll catch up if yall get it started.

Be careful, I've heard if you go to Costa Rica, you come back convinced all you need is a victorinox and a tramontina machete...

 

[mitchnola]

Ha, I’m already a tramontina fanboy! Did decide to go with the bigger rat 1 then 2 though! More worried about the mosquitoes and drinking the water!

My vote is Jan 1 for the kick off.

 

[Kettleman]

Here’s a pair I’m very happy to own.

2009 21
2019 21

The January 09 is from the very early production and the June 19 is from the very last production.
Very subtle differences, namely the way the holes are drilled and hardware. The 09 is still very much like the P and original in that respect.
But for the most part it’s all the 21 we know and love.

 

[Kettleman]

If you ever wondered how similar the Classic MM and the 21 were, Not only did they use the same hardware, they also used the same scale! The show scale sure appears to be an 06 which would mean the 21 was just a Classic MM without the stamp?
