Photos Who here has the oldest Sebenza of each generation?

A latest of each model thread could drive some serious sales for CRK if people got competitive about it! It would probably be a more active thread though it might end up just being a twin to your anticipation/inbound post. I hope more people show up to participate here but when you posted your Regular it did occur to me that when something so close to the beginning shows up it will pretty much end the posting for that model. You never know though, there are 18 people out there...or at least 18 knives before yours, maybe one of those owners is among us.

Somewhat off-topic but I have been drooling over the large P Sebenza listed on AZCK with the original box, pouch, and birth card but I don't think I'm ready to spend that kind of money on a Sebenza, even if it is an awesome vintage one.

Yeah, I could see you limiting that to out of production models only. 😂


I saw that Original. Makes me glad I picked up a no-doc on the cheap, so I don't have to be tempted.

Thanks! I thought it would be a fun way to get people to show off some of their "vintage" CRK stuff! Not that I have any way of knowing since the 19th Regular as shown above was a UG, but one would think the first run of knives for a new model would probably be PJ. If that is true it's pretty wild that we have three B-08 plain janes in this thread already. I've always thought the retro graphic was a sweet one!

The first 200 Regulars of each size were numbered, and I think about 20% were decorated. Chris pulled out apparently random numbers from the run to do his handiwork on, more later in the run than early like mine. I've seen one with a lover #, I think it was #7. The remainder were PJ's.

Interesting! So Chris was doing all the graphics at that time?

Chris did all the graphics until around 98, then he let other employees do it some. Most notably was Scott Cook, who did it in 99 and 2000. These are both done by Cook.
