With CRKs...some times the knives find us...10 days ago I had no idea, but this weekend I ended up with this...

Finally have a Large StarBenza headed my way! also decided to keep the Glorious Insingo!
 
Thought I was done for awhile but haven't been able to get my mind off the Umnumzaan lately so looks like that's gonna be the next one!

Edit: couldn't wait so just ordered a new one

Well, I thought I didn't want another one then I saw the ebony inlaid. How does the satin ti wear? If I got another one it would inevitably be a user. I was just curious if the satin looked as good as the bead blasted ti when it gets "worn in." It will be quite a while before I can afford another one, but man I can't stop drooling over this thing.

So, on blasted CRKs, you get the snail trails due to the nature of the finish, and the wear is high contrast. On a satin finish, you will get small thin scratches that arent quite as cool looking as snail trails. Having said that, you will notice almost no pocket wear if you have it clipped to your pocket without change, keys, lighters, flashlight, whatever in the same pocket. The satin finish will wear more realistically.
 
Whatever I can get the best deal on!!! No seriously. Most likely a inlayed small. Ebony or Box Elder. I've been bitten by the sebenza bug hard. Just can't find a knife I like better so why not have multiple varieties of it?
 
Hopefully I can find a large plain regular in decent shape! It probly won't fit in the budget tho! :(

No regrets. My second favorite CRK I've owned, probably my second favorite knife period.

Can't seem to put the old bird down.

This one exactly! Where did you purchase it with the blue hardware ??

Love my plain large 21 but the small micarta just feels amazing in hand. Thought I'd give the insingo a try as it looks like an awesome user blade.

Great knife. True North Knives carries the insingo with blue hardware. I got the last single lug model they had and I believe the double lugs model is sold out now too, so you might be waiting for a restock!
 
While I have some large Sebs and an Umnum, I really love my small 21s, Insingos, Regulars and Starbenza.

I've been looking recently at Mnandi's. But haven't decided whether I want something smaller than a small, which seems the perfect EDC size.

Or whether I want to chance getting a folder that I can't open one-handed. As I understand it, that is the case with the current Mnandis.
 
Just ordered my first, a Seb 21 Large Geometric.

Next will be a large Tanked edition quickly followed by a large Tanto and likely a large Insingo and a standard large version. I'd like to stick to straight Ti scales for a bit before getting into the inlay versions :)

Thanks Z

Looks like they are out like you said.
Don't mind waiting for if it's exactly what I want.

No problem. Some dealers will send your knife to CRK directly to be fitted with alternate hardware, after purchase. Id call your dealer of choice and coordinate with CRK to see if they will do it for you so you're not waiting too long!
