why does mine still have blade play?

Thank you for sending regular shipments to Thunderbird Gear in Canada. I’ve bought 2 CRK knives already 😊 they are extremely good CRK dealer!

Merci pour cette vidéo.

Sebenza 31 an absolute shame! That Ceramic ball bullshit. Inducing a pivot point so the blade rolls on that and the lock bar bends. It’s called lock bend/lock rock All totally normal they say… BULLSHIT. flumsy cheap appearance clip, crap thumbstud, ratteling lanyard pivot. If that’s the best quality, it clearly has nothing to do with highest grade. I am not impressed with my Sebenza 31 and I know the community is kinda dissatisfied about it.

the other side of my pivot just spins when trying to adjust like thst

I was SO CLOSE to buying a Magnacut Umnumzaan from DLT. Clicked the restock email from them the minute it went out but had to add some shipping and card info and by the time I clicked order it was already gone. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on one soon.

I've had my Wilson Star-Tac for over eight years. Recently, I took it apart, cleaned it, sharpened it, and replaced the o-rings. I used Viton rings. Much, much nicer and they last longer.

Unbelievable knives!!!! I carry my Large Inkosi every day!

I have the similar 25. It has a free floating stop pin with a flat side that must be facing the pivot or the blade jams, a poor design. He avoided discussing that. I have avoided the Inkosi because of this issue. They don’t discuss it and I don’t feel like being burned by defective design again.

Time to start working round the clock, weekends, and holidays. It’s a good problem to have. People love your products 😁

I love my small sebenza 31 plain. I carry it every single day! Keep up the good work!

I wondered for years what the big deal was with CRK and why so many people were obsessed with them and paid those prices. I just bought my first one a few weeks ago when a bunch of retailers got their resupplies of the main bread and butter models. I grabbed a large Inkosi with Magnacut insingo blade because that’s the model I’ve always loved the looks of and I’ve always wanted to try Magnacut. I can say that I now see what the fuss is about and am sooooooo in love with this knife!!! It’s one of those things where you have to get one and feel it in hand and just stare at it for hours and see just how finely made they are. Now I’m already on the lookout for my next CRK. I am keeping my eyes peeked for a drop point Zaan to come in stock. They pop up every now and then.

Check Sooner Knives in Oklahoma. I just ordered a plain large 31 in Magnacut today, they have several in stock. Life is wayy too short to wait 4 to 6 years for a productiin knife. Custom? Yes...Production? No way...

Still trying to find one

Way over priced. I'll stick with benchmade.

hi i got my inkosi in magnacut yesterday. insane perfect;) 🎉nice

that allen wrench that comes with it is shit. I cant even budge the screws loose without seeming like I am stripping them. So frustrated. I just want to change my lanyard grrr...

It pains me to see CRK microfibres used for their intended purpose 😅

I stupidly went in and cleaned and reassembled my large Sebenza 31 like any other knife and it came out loose and offcenter. A friend online shot me a link to this video, and I redid everything the way Chris showed and now it's perfectly center and dead solid, tight. Thank you sir.

Best knives ever!!!

What knife is that

All this talk about quality but I think everyone will agree it’s gone down hill since little buddy took over- talking like a dope dealer and his custies are his best friends lol

Hopefully y'all have fixed the lock rock issues. I had 3 the past few years and they all had that problem.

That mnandi I’ve been thinking about for years will be there when I’m ready to get one

Y’all are doing the right things I love that I can still buy a sebenza I had a spyderco slysz bowie and I shoulda kept it I want another one but I can’t just buy one You can say x y z is better but where can you get them still? Hyped up aftermarket only. I can find something similar but I don’t want similar to a slysz bowie I want that I also wanted a sebenza Bought one last week

Really wish Chris was still with the company. Quality is really taken a hit, Prices have gone up as well. Also, very weird that he refers to his father by his first name

I just cleaned my Sebenza 31 Large, and the assembly was pure hell. I done this jobe like after a 20 minutes of trying. Never again. Like NEVER EVER FUC.ING AGAIN Mr. Tim.

Tim, I ordered a Pacific and a Green Beret 3.5 years ago. Pricing was $325. I was told a one year turn around. After this time passed I received an email that the Company was going to make my Pacific. But, It would now cost me $375, not $325. Shipping made it $395. I ask the lady if the GB would be in production soon. The answer was, don't hold her breathe on this very long. essentially what was conveyed. Have purchase blades on the aftermarket. All Pacifics and GB's in FDE. Except one black Pacific. Point being, I was OK with a year, but 3.5 and then a price hike. Not honoring the price I ordered at is Bad Business. Nice Bump for the Finances. However, your customers/clients are getting the short end of the stick. That's not cool at all. Leaves a bad taste in our mouths. Nice blades, but there seems to be some arrogance in the front office when questioning the manager. Sorry to say these things, but since we are all family, I wanted to bring this to your attention.

What mesh size do you use for the sand blast media?

I called CRK about 10 days ago inquiring about buying a Sebenza 31 small Insingo, they said they only have 3 knives available and none were the Small Insingo! They said there's around a 4-5 year wait! FOUR to FIVE YEARS. They suggested to check with their "dealer network" Incredible... this was Nov 2023. I got email from KnifeArt and there was a "Exclusive" Small Insingo 31 which is their model exclusively so I bought it. t'll be my last CRK I have five others one large 21 and the rest are small 21's and a lonely small Inkosi which I don't care for probably due to size it just doesn't fit at the finger cut outs, if those finger cutouts didn't have such a pointy edge it'd be ok.

Got my First Sebenza 31 small plaine Jane ..

If you wanna stay in the Stone Age could we at least get a model that has bearings and a double stud or hole? My 31 large magna is an absolute beast but I can’t help but want to play with it 😢

I think it would be a big hit if you guys made a button lock sebenza. Or a similar model

Today is my Inkosi Tanto PJ'S Bday! Home spa treatment. Best to learn from the source

Don’t worry about what people say to you guys your knives speak for them selves and no matter what!!!! People support and love you Ps I know this is a year ago but I thought it was worth saying

Amazing brew I love this keep them coming! My mom and dad are from South Africa Johannesburg we live in Oregon now and you guys make the best knives in the world and customer service we love and support you to the end!

That’s an awesome video! Gives me an entire different view of CR knives and put them on my wishlist!

I'm a big fan of CRK, would love to see a small umnumzaan one day !! It would also be awesome to see the current umnumzaan brought out in a military style format with black hardware and pocket clip and a cerakote blade finish identical to the Pacific for a full non reflective finish. Anodised hardware would also be extremely popular with the CRK community, possibly in black blue and gold. These are such worthy ways of enhancing the brand and they are very achievable. Either way keep up the great work.

I randomly got my Umnumzaan from a DLT drop. It was made less than two weeks after purchasing. The Magnacut is so well done.

Bring back the ti-lock please I want one so bad

❤❤❤

I come from multiple generations of tool users, metallurgists, and foundry men. I was taught to respect my tools and to buy the best quality I could afford. Your family's dedication to quality is the way craftsmanship should be. I just received my newest CR about a week ago. It's a left-handed small Sebenza in MagnaCut. It's everything I had hoped for and sure to serve me the rest of my retired life. I hope someone in the family can appreciate it for what it is someday.

I love that Tim is wearing a T. Rex Arms hat. Let’s hit the range Tim!

Please explain the price? A one man,hand made knife is a 500$ knife! Randell made! Your knife is quality nice, but machinery made!

I love CRK. Best top of quality. Just right in this moment I have Large Sebenza 21 Lunar Landing in my pocket. We love CRK!!

Tim i never thought you would take over the business! I will never forget Chris helping me with my dirtbike and your mom cooking such great dinners!! Miss you guys! You are great people!!!!

The word for customer turns friend is Friendstomer. There you go!

I have large sebenza love it definitely great quality knife.

Great vid Tim. With you and your family for many years. Thanks for the fantastic knives. Now… make a large Mnandi! 😂😊

They need to make a flipper.
