Been camped out by the front window waiting for the Post woman to come by this AM, cup of coffee and dogs in tote. She delivered me my first CRK, a beautiful new Large Micarta Insingo.
Pulling the cord before ever being able to handle one and only reading threads and watching videos, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Lots of excitement and a little concern as many have said "you may be underwhelmed". Well let me assure you I could be nothing farther than underwhelmed. This thing is an AMAZING piece of craftsmanship. Being a pessimistic person by nature, I immediately pulled it out of the box and began to look for flaws.. anything and everything.. nothing to speak of though. I was almost disappointed for some odd reason b/c I've never received anything that didn't have at least some flaw. In that moment, I got it. This is the price of perfection. I've always been one of those that could deal with imperfection as long as the product did what it was supposed to and served its purpose. This now shows me you CAN HAVE IT ALL, and really at one time in your life, you should.
So anyone on the fence about trying a CRK, DO! There is something magical about, well, everything. That beautiful 'tick' as it closes. Anyway, enough of my spew, I've got to go break this thing in.
Oh, a pic to commemorate it's adoption:
