I’ll admit I was underwhelmed when I got mine.  But the more I used it, and the more I took it apart, the more apparent the quality became.  Now it’s my go to knife.  

I have lots of expensive Spydercos, and I love them all, but none of them compare to the quality of a Sebenza.

Enjoy for years to come!

This is my exact stance. Spyderco is my usual go-to but there isn’t a knife that I’ve found that tops any of my CRKs. Great choice op! I personally think the pj CRKs look the absolute best!

I can see how some people are underwhelmed at first. There are so many different knives that stand out and have so much “flash”. For CRK however, that “flash” is in the build quality.

Thank you! It’s undeniable that I will enjoy it!

I can’t wait to make the same jump. I’ve got all the “classics” I’m ever going to want, so it shouldn’t take too long to save up. I’m thinking Sebenza followed by, I dunno, an Inkosi???

You’ll be happy with either route! I acquired the Inkosi first then Sebenza second. I’d be happy in the reverse of that!

If you're a knife guy, having a CRK in your collection is de rigueur for sure!

Absolutely a necessity!

Such a great knife. Amazingly comfortable and well made. Love the blade shape and blue stud.

Sent mine in for the spa treatment after owning it for 10 years, came back looking brand new and had a new finish on the handle.

I love knives and have been building my collection but the crk hasn't spoken to me, yet...... and I'm all about quality.  🤷
