Such a unique and awesome knife. I think every CRK fan needs one of these in their stable!

I love seeing this knife! It is one of the most strikingly awesome looking CRKs. Is it a hollow grind too?

Yes, and the Zaan has the best hollow grind of all the CRK's IMO. I keep thinking about trying the tanto version out... I've never had a CRK tanto.

feel like i might be alone in these parts on this but... is it just me, or is kizer kind of killing it lately? i just saw the recent KC new knives roundup and while i don't love the playstation one, basicallly every other knife knocks it out of the park in design terms. the yorkie in particular is close to flawless; i also really dig the different latt vind models, and that comfort knife is a great idea. someone in their org is listening to thoughtful people and making some **** good choices

One of my regular truck drivers has a couple Kizer's, as well as a guy I work with. I can't remember which models, all of them were titanium, very smooth action, great lock up. I don't know why I never think to really check them out myself.

It's because your name is not Rick...therefore, you must be a crazy person!

Glad I could help haha! Back in pocket for me again today as well until I rotate something else in tomorrow. It does feel like a CRK kinda week though.

It was the weirdest thing. It came up as a trade offer, and I automatically loved the milling, but it's not something I usually like so I had no idea why. It eventually dawned on me:

I'd have no problem letting you check it out some time!

I love it so much. Its like it takes all the features that non-spyderco people complain about and ramps them up to 11.

It's not the best in the pocket, but it's every bit as great in hand as a millie.

Camping with the Camper today 🙂
Lost the toothpick somewhere on the campgrounds and had to use the SAK to make a temporary replacement.

Nice! The toothpick is so clutch sometimes. I use the toothpick, tweezers and bottle opener most on my Tinker. I need to purposely not carry a main knife for a few days and give the actual blade some work.

Salt potatoes! I'm mostly carb free these days, but wow those were awesome. Thanks for reminding me.
