IF I get another, it will be a PJ Inkosi. However, it is more likely I will stick with my one Sebi PJ. The elephant in the room with CRKs is that the ergos fall far behind those of Spyderco ergos.

I may be the odd man out on this one, but I actually prefer the Large Inkosi handle to the Large Sebenza handle. My hand must be the perfect size for that handle and finger grooves. If a Manix fits your hand like a dream, I think the Large Inkosi would as well. I've never handled a PJ, but mine with the micarta inlays is one of my all around favorite knives based on ergos alone.

Hopefully I'll be able to hold a large Inkosi someday just so I know for sure.

I actually prefer my small Inkosi over my small 21 Insingo. The small Inkosi feels more comfortable and secure in my hand, in spite of the small Inkosi being the smallest CRK I own (it’s a bit smaller than the small 21).

After about a week of carrying the Sebenza I relented when my Crucarta PM2 finally came in. The round hole, neutral handle, and ease of opening were all sorely missed. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, after all. ;-)

I remember the Sebenza Classic (pre-Idaho stamp) best I think, and I remember the handle being more neutral. Specifically, I don't remember the prominent finger guard. I had a look back at some pictures of the 21 and Classic models, and it seems like the prominent finger guard has been a feature for quite some time. What funny things the mind does to us.

Now that the honeymoon is over, I look forward to seeing how much pocket time the Sebenza can take from my favorites Spydercos.

That's how I always feel when I get a new "others" knife...sometimes they work and find themselves mainstays, others I've kept for a few months and wonder why I ever veered off in another direction! Definitely a fun part about the hobby. Best part is, none of us are buying junk knives, so you can almost always get your money back (give or take a little)

Another big Sebenza drop over at DLT... Some really gorgeous knives.

It's supposed to snow here tomorrow. Can't wait to take a CRK in the snow pic lol

Crazy weather! Group shot maybe?

My hand is definitely conforming to the Sebenza. Opening is easy now and of course very smoooooth.

Glad to hear! Yes, that one was broken in pretty well. Still waiting on that glassy smoothness with the my new one!

Posted in the others thread, but I guess it really belongs here.

I poured 4 gallons of water on the truck to get the door open so I could start it and then the phone rang and they said don't bother coming in so I ain't at the shop today. I imagine most places are closed today, I'm not one to watch the news... but the automotive industry and ones like it are usually a come **** or high-water kinda gig.

forgot the other pic
