Looking to venture into CRK knives in the new year. All I see and hear is how great these knives and company are so it's time to take the plunge.
I am not sure what model to get as a first, so please recommend me one. I know I like mnandi in cocobolo and eventually will get that, just not as my first CRK. So sebenza? uumzaan? 21? 25? large? small?
I have no way of actually checking them out in person, will have to order it online.

thanks!
 
I would suggest the 21. Whether large or small depends on your blade length preference.
 
You might want to ask your question on the CRK forum instead of General. The guys who hang out in the CRK forum

may be able to answer your question a little better. Some of them have several different models and have had experience with several CRK's.

I'd start out with the large or small 21.

Definately a Sebenza 21 Large/Small. You'll fall in love with the pivot bushing if you get your knives dirty and disassemble them often. But first, decide if you want the regular blade or the Insingo.

If you end up liking the Large, then I'd suggest the 'Zaan as your second. If you like the small, then I'd say get a Mnandi instead:)
