CRK's do feel solid, which makes them feel like quality tools that should last forever...SaltyCaribbeanDfly wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2023 8:36 amThey do feel solid for sure but between the local shop here and BladeShow (the only two places I’ve handled them) I never checked how sharp they were … and like you said that’s disappointing considering the price…I’ve never purchased a dull SpydercoTkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2023 6:50 amIt's that solid build quality for me. They feel so solid in hand. Not to mention how much edge length you get for the size of the knife, no matter what model. My only knock on them is out of the 6 I have had or now have, none of them has been close to being as sharp as a Spyderco. That's saying something for Spyderco, but also a knock against CRK. If we're spending $500+ on a knife it should be able to shave arm hair out of the box, in my opinion.
I absolutely understand your expectation for a sharpness on a $500+ knife. I get rid of the factory bevels soon after purchase anyway, so not an issue for me.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
It’s been the Sebenza all weekend. Ever since I fixed up the edge I can’t get enough. Did manage to chip the tip at work Friday.
Tonight, it’s accompanied by a Mezcal Margarita, as requested by the wife.

This week's gonna be a scorcher so I have put the 15V away in favor of MagnaCut.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Really is a great knife. I love their Insingo blades and am very happy to have it in a Large Inkosi and Small Sebenza. Best of both worlds! My only knife in Magnacut as well.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 1:25 pmGreat picture Rick , if I ever buy another CRK this model would be my top choice . Dan

Nice. Those are big boys. Is that the whittler pattern?
