What's Your Most Carried CRK & Why?

The Small 21 UG is always in my pocket (the only small I have...;))
Not too big and light, so it just fits for edc.

 
I swore my Small 21 would always play second fiddle to my 25 but I love this little guy. I bought it as an office knife because it looks great with the Madagascar Rosewood inlays but I find it nice for what I need. I've been on a 3" knife kick lately.

Small Insingo Micarta.
Very functional blade, just a little more grip(micarta), the right size..

 
My most carried is probably my walnut Mndandi since it comes to work with me 4 out of 5 days a week. However, I've been carrying this guy outside of work a lot lately.

It's between my '12 cocobolo mnandi and small plain Insingo. But probably insingo most often. The wharncliffe blade is more practical for my usage, I rarely stab/bore things (although insingos stab just fine).

I really like wharncliffes and sheepsfoots/sheepfeet :) --- wait a minute, mnandi...wharncliffes...
 
When I was still working in the office it was a Small plain Insingo for about two years.
After I quit I carried my Tanto Umnum for almost 3 years 99.9% or the time. I then traded into a Large Insingo which made it almost a year as my go to blade with a little Tanto umnum sprinkled in. Most recently I traded into a Large Plain 21 that was made on what would've been my Fathers 67th birthday, it gets the most time now but the others make appearances quite regularly along with another standard blade Umnum that has a nice Southard backspacer on it.
I have 2 Mnandi's that see limited time and a few other CRK's that only come out for camping/hunting.

For me it isn't which CRK I carry the most, I guess it's that I carry CRK the most.
 
Mine is my only CRK right now. It was the first Sebenza I ever bought and had sold a few years ago. By luck it found its way back to me :)
Large micarta S30V partial serrations. Really want to try an insingo blade tho. Wish I could have one fitted from the CRK shop.

 
Although it's a tough choice every morning, I'd have to say the Ti-lock for me, especially on work days. It's at home both around the house and in the office, has excellent ergos and a little "cool" factor, and can be open/closed with both hands (my other CRK's are single lugged, right-hand only).

You win Birdhunter.. Packing two sizes of serrated CRk knives at once.! That is awesome, and I am not being sarcastic! :thumbup: gotta find my way into a serrated blade someday. I wish they made a serrated Umnumzaan.

Thanks Cody, I am sure you will find one some day. And a serrated Umnumzaan would be something.
Here they are.


 
Large micarta insingo, nuked. It's been my long time companion, now my only folder valued higher than $30. I just can't put it down.

If I had it to do over, I'd go standard blade shape; I just like how it looks. But the insingo works great and is SO easy to sharpen.

No not a steel drum. We had bought a tree for the front yard it was the thick plastic planter that it came in. I would be you could stab it thru a steel drum but I will let someone else try that.

I stabbed mine through the tread and belts of a 10 ply steel belted radial truck tire a few days after I got it. I didn't want to worry about the first blemish, so I got it out of the way intentionally. Yes, it jacked up the edge remarkably, but it sharpened back up just like most other knives.

In hindsight, it was pretty silly to do...

large 21 Gabon Inlay because the black inlays fits my attire most days.

I've been carrying my large gabon for a while now. I love my small but this large is such such a joy to use at work or around the house. Lately I've been trimming the yard and front with it, it's really fun to snap cut thick branches in 1 flick of the wrist.
 
Lately it's been my LH new-pivot Umnumzaan. He now has a RH new-pivot companion (I call them The Twins) but the LH just looks cool.

Plus I'm a lefty, so somewhat biased, right?

Thing is, I bought a RH Wilson Combat (new pivot) and I do not like the way it looks. So it never gets carried.
