whats your 'definitive' CRK?

[kidcongo]

Just a fun thread. I love all stuff CRK, but for me one knife is the 'definitive model that could not be mistaken for anything else. That's a Large 21 Micarta.

The bushing system, stonewash blade, titanium framelock, split inlay style, great pocket clip, Idaho Made....This knife I feel is the most unique design and borrows the least from other makers, and has the most elements that are true to Chris Reeves original ideas.

However that is just my opinion, and I am curious what others think of as the most 'CRK' of the CRK line up?

Sebenza 25...simply the best!

I would say for me it's the one pice knives or the Regular Sebenza. I know the 21 is closer to the original design but the Regular, IMO, is the superior folder.

The inlayed insingo sebenza

Edit to add what he said^^^
The one piece knives were my first introduction to CRK!

Large Regular, love the design, perfect knife for me.

 

[bradtown]

Large Reg pure and simple.

Sebenza 25...simply the best!

I ve always liked the ruggedness of the Umnumzaan and the style of the Sebenza. The 25 is a great combination of these features.

Me too, really no one made OPKs like CRK did and they will remain the "classic CRK" for me for ever I think. There are a few made by other folks these days but they are not on par, IMO. The Calico forge one piece is a nice example though. :thumbup:

Lefty 'Zaan. Can't wait to buy a lefty 25!

 

[BlackEnd]

The large Regular will always be it for me, backed by the large micarta Tanto 21. Both hard to argue with.

Zaan all the way, never had a sebenza but with the zaan I have right now I dont think i ever will

 

[rexromic]

Small sebenza insigno.

The knife that drew me to CRK... large 21 Insingo (no inlays).

 

[tomsch]

Small Insingo. It's a basic knife but I have carried nothing else for months now. It's a beautifully made workhorse.

The Wood Inlay Annual Sebenzas were my favorite, but as for definitive I might have to say the large "P" model set the standard.
