I love my Gerber..super light, razor sharp and really great price…can't go wrong for 10 bucks..
We can do anything

newgraham.com has always been good to me. Or you can go to chrisreeve.com directly. Their prices are the same everywhere, I've never seen a CRK at a marked down price or discount
I do love the CRKs…and the Sebenza is my all time favorite knife. I always have one close by
Let me know how it goes. There are lots of choices, so please feel free to ask me for any thoughts/advice

I actually have one with blue calf inlays. My small sebenza is my dress carry knife.
I'm not a big fan of serrations. They're a pain to sharpen. A properly sharpened knife will cut through rope just as efficiently
The damascus crk uses is devin thomas damascus. Its the best in the business. Damascus has its pluses and minuses. But basically, its just for looks. Any cutting advantage is nominal and disproportionately small compared to the price. S30V is a great steel for a knife
And I think most people prefer the ones with a micarta inlay for a work knife. It adds grippiness. Its not worth the added thickness for me though

Benchmade 943… sadly recently stolen. Am fiending like a mofo for a chris reeve sebenza...
Awesome choice! I got my first Sebbie years ago, and that led to a small sebbie with blue calfskin inlays, then an Umnumzaan, then a Profeessional Soldier, and then a rare Nkonka…Chris Reeve is a nice chunk of my knife collection
The Sebenza is one of a handful of knives I would never let go though. That being said, I've been carrying my Umnumzaan for months

That's pretty cool, good to see you here, man!

Yup! I'm not much of a collector anymore of knives, more like a user
I think the last time I saw you was at Vegas Classic four years ago when I was working for Rick Hinderer
Yeah, I was just about to say, I remember meeting you then. I remember that I wanted to buy that Hinderer Knives thong for my wife, but you already had dibs on it
I still collect more than I use, but I definitely use more now than I did back then. The collection has gotten a little smaller and more focused over the years, too.

I have a handful of customs…one from RJ, one from Rick...and a bunch of fixed blades from Hossom/Brum/Krein...I really just have a bunch of users these days from CRK. I remember your sick collection...you're my knife hero
My ex still has that thong!!!
That Benchmade/Sibert is really tempting me these days though...crazy that a production knife is that nice...

Thanks Beatle! Means a lot comin' from one of you contestants :).
Have been considering giving the jeans their first wash… not so much due to cleanliness issues but due to the fact that I wear the knees out so much that it looks kind of uneven with the rest of the fading and I'm wondering if It'll even out a bit in the wash. I'm quite open to input on this - has anyone else washed theirs? This dye seems pretty fugitive.Hey, USN dudes! I used to lurk there too. Am... am actively considering a CRK Insingo (http://www.knifeart.com/insingo.html ). I've owned two benchmade 921's (the switchback, since discontinued) one in D2 and one in s30v… Love the wharnecliffe. That or an Ikoma guardian balisong, but edcknives has been slow lately.

LOL Doug, I guess at least you got to enjoy the thong back then.
That Benchmade Sibert is an amazing production folder, one of the very best that I have ever seen. I'm guessing that you brought up the knife because you've already seen this, but in case you haven't, I actually wrote a review for that knife yesterday here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=732006

Hey, good to see another USNer here! I've never handled the Insingo before, but seeing that it is basically a Sebenza with a different blade profile, I can say that you can't really go wrong with it.
That Guardian Angel bali may be really hard to find, though. There aren't too many of those around, and the demand for Flavio's stuff is through the roof right now. If you're fortunate enough to find one, it may cost you an arm and a leg.
