My favorite CRK model by far.
One of mine as well. I’ve been pretty well hung up on only Crk folders for several years now. I’ve gone back and forth between the large Inkosi and 21s but here lately the micarta Inkosi has taken the lead by a long shot over anything else.My favorite CRK model by far.
I didn't know you were such a Schatt & Morgan fanknife envy

Sometimes less is more. These three are the entirety of my folder collection and I am very content. The Shiro is new-to-me as of this afternoon. It's on washers and is very, very choice.

Casinostocks that's a L21... But there is the same configuration in an Inkosi so maybe that's what you meant.
As far as this Shiro is concerned, I am doubly impressed today with.the edge and the steel. I spent about 30 minutes whittling a very dry, hard stick from a maple tree. I whittled, whacked, and twisted the edge through the stick in fairly sloppy, intentionally "cringe worthy" technique. Not a chip or a roll to be found. I was being unkind on purpose to the showy, mirror edge it came with. Took it all in stride, which I am quite sure the CRK would not have.
