I'll give myself an max of three from my exiting CRK collection:
- Honduran Rosewood Mnandi (the perfect gentlemen's folder):
- Small Inkosi (tough little bugger, smoother than glass, and in my version, pimped just so with a contrasting anodized blue/gold color way):
- Small micarta Insingo (love the blade profile, and the micarta inlays just feel so damn good in the hand):
Dunno, but these seem like they offer the best of what I'm looking for in CRK (before anyone starts talking about a Large or an Umnumzaan, I'm not a fan of knives with blades much over 3"; I live in NYC).
Of course, it was with no small amount of consternation that I had to give the axe to my KnifeArts CF small sebbie (with full CF backspacer and Millit CF clip), cocobolo-inlaid small Classic (for when classy is called for, and so is something larger than a Mnandi), Wilson Combat small Sebbie (love the pattern, the grip it affords and the double silver thumb studs) and Ti-Lock (too damn cool for school).
Now, if this were my fantasy CRK collection, there'd definitely be a Lignum Vitae Mnandi (go big, or go home) and a small Sebenza Regular BG-42 (the Icon) in the mix... ;-)
Regards,
Adam
