Nice choice! PJ Sm 31 was my first as well.. it was not my last haha. Hah, I'm with you on the lanyard.. Chris Reeve himself couldn't convince me that I need a lanyard on a knife that offers a full grip! No need to cut them though, the whole lanyard pin pops right out when you disassemble the knife.. pretty clever how they do it, I think.. easy to remove, but you don't need to destroy the lanyard in case you ever want to sell your knife, or change your mind, or whatever.. I mean, unless it's out of some deep-seated lanyard hate that we're not aware of, then by all means, cut away! I won't judge. :DSpydergirl88 wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 10:25 pmAlright guys your peer pressure worked. I couldn't find a Sebenza with inlays I liked that didn't cost an arm and a leg. So I went with the plain jane small 31 drop point. I chose the 31 because of the offset clip. I can't wait to get the knife so I can cut off that silly lanyard. Putting paracord on a $375 knife seems weird to me. Like a bumpersticker on a sportscar.

Re: My 1st CRK
The lack of PJ Large 31s is helping me hold out. I like the inlayed versions but the cost is a bit steep. Ordering direct without the blue accents is tempting though.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 2:00 pmLooks like more and more 31's are starting to be released at dealers the past week or so.

Ok so the Raindrop Damascus is **** near impossible to photograph, but wow is it absolutely stunning. This is the tightest pattern I’ve ever seen on any of CRKs raindrop.

Re: My 1st CRK
I need to take a drive out to House of Blades and handle one again first. Last time I was there awhile ago I wasn't impressed enough to order one. Maybe that's changed?
I still want that little Shiro too but other hobbies have been pulling at my funds. Need to liquidate some knives to fund something special but haven't had the time or desire to do it.
Honestly, I've been carrying my Paysan on the weekends and I'm pretty content with that. It's still making me smile :)

Haha sorry :)Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 6:45 pmYep lol. This 31 is a nice little knife but now i want one of those mnandi too.
I had a Small 21 at the beginning of me getting into CRK, and I loved it, but always preferred the Large Sebenza, but this little Mnandi is exactly what I wanted, it is soooo much nicer then a fancied up Small Sebenza, and slightly smaller. A locking work of art, blows all the traditionals I ever had out of the water. I can say I am very happy and content with deciding to get rid of the rest of my GECs to grab this guy! (I still have my Case Bose though, because it’s just freaking badass)

The 2021 mnandi with the "thumb hole cutout" opener is calling my name
