CRK/Wilson Combat Star-tac inbound after a very long wait!
That's a good one! First Zaan?
No, I've got a regular Zaan as well, which I love and it's so smooth now. But I forgot about the break in period and how sore my thumb got from opening and closing it a couple hundred times!

Was really excited about this one, a 240mm Silky Gomboy curve. This one’s got a coated blade and a wood composite handle. EXTREMELY impressed with the fit and finish here, and if the general consensus about Silky’s performance is correct then this guy will be in my hiking pack from now til forever.

Silky saws are great. I picked up the Filzer Buckster Bow Saw last summer and love it. I’m done shopping for saws now. My only issue with folding saws is that I am too rough with them and eventually I pinch the blade and bend them. Also, with the bow saw I can use both hands and my entire upper body to saw which is less tiring.

Also, the Silky saws have really gone up in price. The big boy used to be around $40 and now a replacement blade is almost that much.

Not sure if I'm getting ripped off, or got one **** of a deal. Got a package deal, a Large CRK 31 and a Small 31. Both plain jane...for $475. They showed as "used" but look to be in excellent shape, both have the paperwork, just no boxes. I grabbed this more for the Large 31, but seemed like a pretty darn good deal...hope I don't get burnt!

Posted on eBay. It was a new listing, but already had a good 15 watchers but had offers available. Thankfully I have a couple other CRK's already to be able compare them too. Paperwork looks the same as my other CRK's, will definitely be taking them apart to compare to the others!

Good luck! I hope you got a good deal and not some hassle with fakes.

For sure! The seller has 96 positive feedbacks as both a buyer and seller, I'm feeling optimistic.

From Albers Cutlery. Excited since he makes limited quantities of his knives. My second one. Beautiful quality. Harder to get than GEC!
Exterior black buffalo horn handles with some bark present. Very nice contrast.

7" OAL with a 3 1/4" blade (from the handle)

Stainless CPM154 satin finished blade - 60-61HRC

Comes with genuine leather sheath

There was a few still unsold this morning.

After watching a few videos on how to spot a fake, there are some surprisingly REALLY GOOD Sebenza fakes. I'm not going to waste any time and just tear them down, that seems to be the easiest most fool proof way to discover if they are fake or not. Based on the washers and engraved or not inner liners.

If they are fake, the seller doesn't offer returns...anybody have any experience with eBay and how I would have to go about this? I really wouldn't want them to circulate back into the open market if they are indeed fake!

But...I'm remaining optimistic until further notice :)

Our buddy Connor has a pretty extensive use/sharpening/review thread going on with this knife. It's a great read!
