The ONE

[AKWILD]

This is my first Seb and my most used and carried as well. I will never part with it. I have traded and sold off Regs, Mnandis, Umnumzaan--all part of the hobby and game, but this one stays:

Small 21 Insingo

My first piece of advice I give someone buying their first Crk is keep it. Donot trade up or sell it to get another. There's something special about it. That 10 more can't compete with well maybe ten can

Buy one I can hook you up.

Gosh Atony you were the one that made me love the look of the micarta. That bead blast is amazing.

I've gone through probably around a dozen and a half CRKs in the last year, but this small Insingo isn't going anywhere. This was the one that first sucked me into this sickness. I sent it in to the factory to have the silver hardware added and the engraving done.

This one for several reasons but mainly because it fulfills all of my EDC needs...

My "One" would have to be my Large 21. It was my first CRK, and I can't ever see myself parting with it.

Love the silver lugs. Just polished my 25's and it turned out better than expected!

There is just something that makes engraved CRKs extra special. My" One " is also engraved. I keep trying to talk Chris into engraving a mnandi for me.

You can't argue with a true user. It just feels right in hand!

I've got to know who did the handles on that Nyala....

What process did you use to polish your 25's lugs? I just bought a 25 and I'd love to polish the lugs to match my 21, I'm not a huge fan of the blue.

Dremel, 421 polish compound, Dremel felt polishing wheel tip and tape. Just tape off all area that you don't want touched. You will need to have the polishing compound or it takes forever. Good Luck

Can't get rid of the double-tin Filsons or my Sebenza. Do work.

Awesome! Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try. Any pictures of how your polished 25 turned out? I'd love to see!

 

[AKWILD]

The polished 25 thumb studs have even more shine than my small sebbies studs direct from CRK. Check out the attachment for photos.

I thought lets start a fun thread. Most are all business. Which crk "The One" out of all your blades would you never give up and why? Must have pics I will go first. Mine is a small Lisa pick I ordered when my daughter was born. Never giving it up. View attachment 368618

Filson and CRK now that's a collaboration!

That looks awesome! I've always loved the silver hardware, hopefully CRK starts offering them on the 25.

For me it's a snakewood small annual that I got to commemorate my daughter's birth. Someday it will be passed to her!

 

[lisantica]

I am selecting my Giraffe Bone Mnandi as The ONE. It's the Mnandi that I dearly loved upon receiving it and it is responsible for guiding me into becoming a semi-collector of them.

Tough question. Probably this one:

I am enjoying all the love for the daughters. Plus a sweet annual. Nice

Giraffe Bone has so much depth to it. It is a favorite of mine. Plus damascus and added decoration just unbelievable!!

Tough question. Probably this one:

Blue damascus what? Always love it! Someday just someday!

Lisa, I'm pretty sure you're a full blown Mnandi collector

You're probably right. Though I have seen some collections more impressive than mine.
