What is your dream CRK?

Mine would be a Micarta 21 with a ceramic ball interface. If I could completely customize it, it would probably be a full mokuti (not sure how to spell it) knife with an integral (one piece) handle.
 
Large 21 with Spirograph DT blade, mammoth inlays, single gold thumb stud+gold lanyard pin. Not very creative but, you like what you like.
 
A Mnandi Insingo with smooth ti handles like a plain jane Seb. Of course, Mammoth Bark or Desert Ironwood inlays would be okay, too :)
 
Yeah, I like the one I have quite a bit.

I'm sure there will be other knives come along that I want and I'll buy them, but I am not sure any will hold the significance of this one (sometimes a knife takes on a special value...and when it does so in a manner that makes all others trivial, it is truly special).
 
My dream CRK? That is easy, its the one I don't have....after I get it, my dream knife will be something else. Right now I am leaning towards a large 21 Mammoth inlay. my next knife will either be that, or my first Hinderer XM18. I will be ready to make a move in a few weeks but so far those are the front runners for my next purchase.

Click to expand...

Plain Jane Mnandi with Insingo blade would be super cool. Maybe Chris would bring back the old nail nick for this Mnandi as well. They would sell a bundle of these knives.
 
Raindrop Damascus Umnumzaan with "Night Sky" CGG graphic on slab (instead of milling) and dark opal inlay. ;)
 
Just saying:

Next to a perfectly smooth large annual bg42 or spirograph damascus, my Dream CRK would be a Large 21 Pre-'Idaho Made' stamp with the 'C' stamped Classic MM blade, and with the rivet-less polished screws. With or without micarta. Damascus or S30V. ...If not the no stamp 21, then a Classic would suffice :D
 
Damascus set of large Sebenza, small Sebenza and Mnandi, on regular frames, with annual sized slabs of vibrant mastodon ivory. I'd like to see a large Insingo and small Insingo with the same blade and handle scales. Those are attainable.

Pipe dream, which I understand Chris not wanting to do, but saying it isn't innovative is a cop out. The frame lock is not as innovative anymore, but it is very reliable. Anyway, my pipe dream is still a slipjoint from CRK. 3" blade, preferably CPM154 but CPMS35VN is fine. Long pull nail nick depending on blade shape, titanium handle would look strange.
 
I'd like to see a little more access to the thumb stud across the entire lineup. It has always seemed to me that the cutout for the thumb stud is too close to the pivot, and not where the thumb naturally wants to access the stud. And I'd add the bushing to those models where it is absent.
