So a couple weeks ago I purchased my first Chris Reeve knife. A large Sebenza Insingo. Oh how I love that knife. The fit and finish, the blade style, not to mention the top quality of the knife as a whole. I was feeling pretty content with my knife situation until it happened..........

I saw a CRK Umnumzaan posted on another forum. I remember thinking "Man that is a sweet knife" as I am fondling my Sebenza. The next thing that I know I have a tracking number email sitting in my email inbox and a Umnumzaan on its way to my door step.

How did this happen? Is it a sickness? Or more accurately an addiction?

So know the only thing to do is this.........

Hi my name is Wade and I am a Chris Reeve addict. :cool:
 
Same thing happened to me. About six weeks ago I bought my first CRK... a small Sebenza 21. A week later I had to have a Mnandi. The following week it was an Umnumzaan and the binge finally ended with the purchase of a Sikayo.

Every single day I scour those sites that enable our addiction. It's only a matter of time until I fall off the wagon again.
 
I can't wait to get the zaan. If it is anything like the sebenza I might have to carry both of them at the same time, because I won't be able to choose..........
 
excuse me, but please go to the photo sticky thread. or do a search for fooj, st james, lisantica, zippothisknifethat.

after that come back here, and i'll apologize :p
 
Just stay away from the Inlays, they are an addiction all their own :)

Join the club and have fun, the search for that special one is the best part (aside from the obvious..of course)

I fear it is only starting........................

Beautiful knives Thieveslikeus. Quite the collection.
 
If you are lucky, it doesn't stop. If you are not lucky, it stops when you start buying handmade knives.

I think I'm going about the program all wrong,
What if you send in your Bark Classic for a damascus re-blade :)
 
I am allready thinking about a mnandi and a kitchen knife. I am not sure if this twelve step program is for me?!?
