Definitely a shame that those inlay models no longer come with the polished finished. They still look great, but that change of contrast, especially on the clip side is much nicer with the polished finish.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
Incredible, just about every new knife from that DLT drop is sold out already. There were a bunch of them!

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
I think wood inlays would have been cool but I will actually carry and use the micarta. I like how the black micarta and hardware matches the Damascus. First CRK I’ve had with it.

You guys. I used to be content with my PJ 21. Now I'm not so sure...

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
Man, I hear you. This thread compelled me to dust off my PJ 21 for some pocket time… but now I’m starting to look at some of these other models. Hmm.The Meat man wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:16 pmYou guys. I used to be content with my PJ 21. Now I'm not so sure...

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
TBH, I'm perfectly satisfied with the 5 CRKs that I own. I do kinda wish I'd gotten a large PJ Inkosi; I really like my small Inkosi. But I'm good for now, and maybe forever, as far as CRKs go.
