On its way, I get it Tuesday. My favorite distributor had some Classic 21's, a few Umnumzaan's and several fixed blades and I got the Umnumzaan for a STEAL. All were priced well but could not spend the $500 for the Devin Thomas damascus 21's. I'll post pics when it arrives. Can't wait to see the big brown truck.:D
 
That makes my decision all the much better. Thanks. All that they have left is a few of their fixed blades. I cannot believe that they went so fast.

I love the Umnumzaan. You made a great choice!!! I have pictures below and a review to tease you until it arrives! It is a seriously hard work knife.
 
NickZac, I really like your review. Still getting used to this, it does not have the distinct "tink" of my Sebenza but locks up at 50% or better and blade is centered and the thumb studs are not an issue. Here are a few quick picks before I have to go.

Gonna try and use this one. One thing I miss right now is the tink sound that is not present because of the rings on the thumb studs but there is no blade play and very tight lock up. Any one have theirs apart yet? How about a tool to take it apart? I like the flat portion on the back of the blade for finger placement when doing fine work. Nice job CRK.
 
I'm working at getting mine as soon as I can.

I got to play with one recently, and was thouroughly impressed. The Umnumzaan is a knife built upon the outstanding pedigree of the Sebenza, and on that crucible it trades iconography and timelessness for a handful of ergonomic and mechanical improvements.

Considering what I'm about to say, I freely confess to still being intoxicated from handling the Umnum, but I hope my fellow knuts can empathize and forgive me. But if god carried a folding knife, this might be the one.
