The kinda unspecified CRK talk thread.

New clip is nice looking…but it’s no Millit clip. 😬

That said…I would still by a few. :) They are cool.

I get that the Ultem isn't for everyone (me included), but no one ever says brown Micarta/G10 is poop colored 🤷‍♂️

Personally I'm excited to check out the new clip. I hope when they finally release them they have enough for everyone, not like a "go get it now" Instagram announcement then they're sold out for the next few months. Being that they're MIM large runs should be able to be produced pretty quickly.

Where did you see/hear it was MIM?

Bunch of videos of Tim talking about them.

Iirc MOQ was 20k clips also. So we’ll see when they drop.

Maybe I’m weird, I like the stock clip.

I like the stock clip and have never changed clips on a CRK. Millits with matching micarta inlays and NGMCo are the only ones that have ever made me consider it until CRK started showing off their new one. If this one has similar holding characteristics while offering a new look/style, I'm open to liking it too.

I want a CRK fixed blade so badly. I've only got this 25 and it's my baby, but I don't baby it. Pic was from when I first opened the box.

Boy was I wrong about CRK way back when. This knife is, to me, perfection.

All the gunk from work has finally ruined the once drop-shut action, so I'm about to take it apart and clean it.

EDIT: My god. Took me about an hour to figure out that weird stop pin, but I got her back to exactly the way she was when I opened the box. I'd say it was wasted time, but I suppose the learning experience was valuable. I'm just excited to carry and use my favorite knife again.

It’s because they’re polished slabs likely.

I like that the Damascus is unique but I’m personally not a fan. I’ll try for the polished blade. Both have polished slabs, seems like a big up charge for the one off Damascus. The wood looks great though!
 
I've just gotten a pj large Inkosi with Insingo blade for my first CR knife and I have a newbie question. What is the purpose of the notch in the blade spine just ahead of the jimping? Thanks in advance.
 
I don’t know it purpose, I use it for my index finger on single hand closure of the blade.

Congrats on the Inkosi! It’s just a design, there is no real “purpose” for it.

You'll notice it transitions from chamfer and a flat spine behind the notch to the fully crowned spine in front of the notch. It just breaks up the spine top where the detail changes. Otherwise the spine doesn’t have much of a break/transition there like the Sebenza does.

It is a transition in the grind between the flat part of the spine (jimping) and the rounded part of the spine. I really dislike the rounded spine and the transition notch, so I think it was a bad design decision.
