I don't get on SIGForum much anymore. Thanks for sharing photos of your Regulars. I like those annuals but I'll probably never own one due to price. I did snag a wood inlay Classic a few days ago for a great price. I'll try to post photos after it arrives.
I've recently popped pocket clips back on a few CRKs to more readily carry them. These three (Sebenza 25, large Starbenza 21, small plain 21) have seen a lot of pocket time.

Originally posted by bald1: My photos certainly are not the quality of those already posted by photoman12001 in this thread. But they are of my pair of "special" (to me) "Sebbies."
Both sport BG-42 blades. The Large (which is what the model was called back then) is a 1998 vintage I bought new that Matt Cucchiara customized for me in 2004 with the scales treated to a mild blue heat coloring, edge meltdown, and a "fizz" elongated spiral galaxy decoration. The Small is a 1999 box elder wood inlay, 1 of 60 made for the first year Reeve offered Small inlays. Convinced sheath maker Gary Graley (aka "G2") in 2002 to sell it to me. I'm very fond of both, much preferring this style of handle to newer versions.
If you're only going to have two, that's a nice pair to have.
Thank you for posting your pics. You have excellent taste and photography skills.

Thanks, I've been using my phone far too much for photos over the past few years. I recently got some smaller/lighter photography gear that I'm more likely to carry & use so I've been testing it on my knife collection. My Nikon system is just too big & bulky so I never use it.
This is a neat one I picked up a few weeks ago. It has leather inlays in the titanium.
Great pics in this thread. My newest newest Chris Reeve Knife, Pacific along with a small and large Sebenza 21 Insingo's, and a couple of other fixed blades.

How do you like it? I snagged a Green Beret 5.5 for a good deal a few months ago but I’m not really all that fond of it. I love their folders but their fixed blades never hit the mark for me.
I’ve only had it a couple of days so it’s seen no use yet. Overall, the palm swell handle fits my hand very comfortably and the fit/finish is what I expect from CRKs.
A truly fantastic collection. Thank you for sharing.
Do you have a favorite?

It would be very difficult for me to choose a favorite CRK. I like the Sebenzas (21 & prior), Unmunzaans, & Inkosis both large & small. Qualifying a user vs strictly collection piece narrows it. The red micarta inlay large Sebenza 21 shown with the P239 might be my favorite user. In fact, if I could only have one folding knife that would very likely be the the one chosen. I have a user Umnumzaan that I'm very fond of as well.
