Excellent choice! A large plain 21 is perfect for a first CRK and it will make an excellent user! Congrats!Lots of great input thanks everyone. I think I answered my own question just by asking it.
I pulled the trigger on a large 21 today. My first ever CRK! Wow I’m excited.
The more I learned about the pivot bushing and the slicing ability of the 21 I just knew I would prefer it.
Grats on the choice. You're gonna love it.I pulled the trigger on a large 21 today. My first ever CRK! Wow I’m excited.
Congrats on the new knife. I think you will love it. It took me a while to finally get a 21, but when I did it became my favorite CRK model.Lots of great input thanks everyone. I think I answered my own question just by asking it.

You do have to be a little careful of that. It is a fairly simple knife, well made , that will give you years of service, but doesn't come with bells and whistles. Sometimes buyers are a little underwhelmed at 1st, but if that happens give it a chance and you will soon get it.I feel my excitement level for the knife may be so high that the knife can’t live up to my expectations lol

It's not going to wash the dishes, take out the garbage, or walk the dog. It is just a darn good knife and the fact that it marks an occasion for you will always make it special.
And please don't expect a thumb flicker.^^^^ This is good advice. The 21 grows on you. At first there is a “what the heck?” moment. Don’t let that phase you.
And please don't expect a thumb flicker.
It's not designed to be opened that way.
FWIW, I agree with many others that flicking it is one of the worse things that can be done.
