Trying to determine the 3 levels of the Chris Reeve Collecting/Using paradigm

Was intrigued by this little Spirograph Damascus Sebenza...love uniques and damascus.

I really really like that stone and the way they set it, what is it, looks like Men in Black, you know the galaxy. Beautiful, I'm excited for you, Congratulations.
 
I felt a little guilty not supporting new merchandise, so I thought I should buy new.
It's supposed to be a Paua shell/stone...unsure, but it looks nice and has some shimmer/sparkle.
 
Fitting into the "R" category, with "K" regrets. These days I only pickup a couple of CRK a year, so they need to be pretty special.

Last year's haul...

First slot this year was the CRKish Lochsa, so that's about it for now. Unless of course something really cool pops up:D
 
That looks amazing. I have yet to own that type of steel. I love blue. On a CRK, even better. I wish he's make an anodized Sebenza handle. Maybe they exist?
 
I am an "R" as in Regular.
Finally landed a well worn/used large and it is the finest folder that i have ever held.
Took it apart, greased it, tightened the clip, flipped the pins/screws & put a working edge on it.
So impressed with it that others are now inbound and all will be in the EDC rotation.
My 21's are going in the safe!

Im a C guy. I have 2 daily users and a Small CGG I absolutely hate, but will keep because it looks so cool.
 
I honestly think that I fit into the WHOLE CRK Category....!!!

I will buy a new model to use and carry.
I am always on the lookout for those discontinued models that I passed on while looking for others at the time.
I also wish I had heard about CRK even sooner. I started out with aprox. 12 OPK before I got into sebenzas. Missed out on many during that time....Even More Large Regulars and Annuals.

So there you have it. I am helplessly addicted.
 
Still solidly an "R". Found in 2014...

Well I guess I'm an R and this week it's the numbered one's. Project 1 #158 and LDC9 #33 in the house, just received these.

Ooh that LDC is special! Very nice! Is that one going into use? It would be like taking a ride on a unicorn, lol.
 
Definitely an R especially the ones I got from you!! you must have another I can't live without...............Happy New Year!!
