Unboxing - TWO CRK Umnumzaans, Tanto and DropPoint. Am I finally a believer?

Can Chris Reeve Knives finally make me a fanboi?? Unboxing a couple Zaans for the first time.

[@OldDominionEDC]

Great overview. I'm new to CRK and picked up a used small Sebenza 21 and new large Inkosi last month. Jumped right in with both feet. I love the ergos on the Inkosi but really appreciate the lighter pocket weight of the small Sebenza. Of the two, I can see keeping the Inkosi. I read, however, that the Umnumzaan is the go-to user between the three models.

Pocket clip on the lockbar benefits me for its carry in the pocket. It means the clip protrudes from the very corner of the pocket. And is directed straight down. On the 21, I believe it was also conceived of as an overtravel stop.

Wonder if lockbar goung past is from keeping lock shutting on fingers if ysed heavy

[@ArrowVelocity]

Just got myself the drop point one off the secondary, made it to my #2 real quick.

[@saltknives]

That nub on the top is a glass breaker! I love my zaan but it’s hard picking between that and my inkosi for “hard use”… my thumb likes my well broken in sebenza more haha

[@lord.needham]

I have handled a few new Sebenzas I was not a fan. I should probably try out a Zaan and an Inkosi before I write them off completely. Thanks for the look!

[@pocketpriorities]

I want to love them...! Ha.

[@tincansailor9437]

I very much disliked the large Sebenza 31 and moved it on quickly. I LOVE the large Inkosi though. I also like the small Sebenza. It's interesting how much larger it is than the small Inkosi but all three are keepers. But no way on the large Sebenza.

Wonderful video. But the Koenig arius is the best Knife money can buy. Aside from customs and exotic materials as a pure knife that Koenig arius is mastery. The Chris Reeve spectacular but if you could only on one knife it would be the Koenig arius

[@cody3078]

Ridiculous cost though just for hype

[@thunderlyte3221]

Nice comparison, i like the tanto they do on there. What would you price them at if you wear to sell them?

[@pocketpriorities]

Already sold at table, $500 each. Love the tanto for sure nice grind all over this knife!

[@Damen0530]

The lock bar area on the Zaan was a no-go for me, one of the worst hot spots I’ve encountered. I much preferred the Sebenza..YMMV.

[@ZiggieZoo]

I actually like it.

[@Damen0530]

@@ZiggieZoo wow, that’s surprising- it made me have to adjust my grip each time I went to grip the handles, different strokes 👍

[@ZiggieZoo]

@Damen0530 It literally may be the shape of my thumb or less sensitivity in my nerve receptors. I literally have very thick skin in my hands and feet. I am banking on me being abnormal in that regard. I am grateful because I love my Umnumzaan so much.

[@Damen0530]

@@ZiggieZoo it is a great looking knife, and a very capable blade

[@ZiggieZoo]

@Damen0530 I have the drop point, but cannot wait to procure a tanto Umnumzaan

[@francescocastanon1601]

Between the tanto or the drop point, who’s the best?

[@pocketpriorities]

Tanto for looks, Drop Point for sharpening? :)

[@francescocastanon1601]

@@pocketpriorities thank you so much! Yesterday I had the possibility to buy a brand new Umnumzaan and it’s got a Tanto blade, I was starting to doubt if I had made a mistake 😬 it’s on the way home

[@pocketpriorities]

@@francescocastanon1601 oh nice nice, you won't be disappointed in that blade shape, it's awesome.

[@buckshot1955]

I’ve owned all the models and sold them all. I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t like them. They’re great quality. They just don’t interest me. I much prefer my Demkos and my Hinderers.

[@pocketpriorities]

Amen amigo

[@cody3078]

Hinderer may win in looks or fidgety action but from what I’ve seen he runs his steel soft and is charging a premium price for a flat grind. So CRK will outperform a Hinderer every day and for years to come.

[@bladecollector7]

How do you manage to get 2

[@pocketpriorities]

Friend of the channel!

[@ZiggieZoo]

Glass breaker

[@bladecollector7]
