The kinda unspecified CRK talk thread.

Good job buddy!

10 is a fine round number, though I suspect u'll find another reason to add more.

Or is this really it for large sebenzas?

Without delving into small tweaks to design and blade steel changes within a couple models and of course inlays this is it.
Every production model Sebenza is accounted for as well as the only 2 Blade shape additions.

I am climbing out of the rabbit hole.

Veeeeery nice.

I especially like that u focused on the large and in the original plain Ti.

I never concerned myself with double lugs until I got this Inkosi in December. That marked the first time I opened a CRK left handed. I haven't actually needed that ability in real life, but I see why it's useful.

I'm probably in a minority of people who prefer the aesthetic if single lugs on a Sebbie.

I do prefer the look of the doubles but for me it’s all about the connivence of opening with either hand. I spent most of my early career standing on a ladder holding something in one hand or the other. The ability to use either hand to open or close a knife or turn a screw or drill a hole was real important.

This is going to sound weird, but I actually struggle to use the second stud with my left hand... I've found it easier to middle finger flick, or at least to use that finger to overcome the detent and roll open the rest of the way with my thumb.

At this point it remains unclear whether this is a dexterity issue, or a mental handicap.

I actually thumb roll the jimping past the detention than use the stud to finish sweeping the blade open.

Not a single small?
 
Kettleman said:
Nope. I carried smalls off on in for years, just couldn’t fall in love with them.

I also wanted the collection to be an evolution of the original Sebenza which was a full size knife.

I’ll let you own the smalls my friend!

My two first was smalls, and when I got my first large they felt comically small.

Nice knives though but I prefer the large by far.

And DONE! My daughter wants anymore she can buy them herself.

This is just an awesome collection, and I’m glad I can enjoy it by just seeing you carry and post them.

The 2019 21 and the 2023 31 are in a box right now headed for CRK and double lugs.

Regular thru Pre-Idaho 21 will remain singles as there are no blades available for warranty replacement were a blade to crack. The P and Original were never offered with doubles to my knowledge so I would not even consider touching them.

I love the double studs on my inkosi and I’m going to send my sebenzas in for them eventually, can you tell me about how long it takes to get them back from the time you send them in?

This is how I open righties with my left hand, and prefer that over using a lefty.

They just quoted me 9-12 weeks depending on service requests. If I had just sent in 1 for lugs I’ll bet 9 but as I sent 2 for lugs and my 09 21 for a reblast im betting it will be the full 12
