Official Chris Reeve Knives Umnumzaan Thread: I love this knife!!!

[Benner]

Looks real nice. 

Thanks Ben!    I just pulled the trigger on a brand new Umnumzaan!      I'm sending the one I just satin finished back to CRK for a overhaul. 

...and then on to Ben over in the UK. 

ANOTHER one?!?

You can really go off some people can't you.

Darn John.  The pick of the twins makes me drool everytime I see it!

Here is a knife that I've been dreaming about. I really love the CRK Umnumzaan, but I've always hated the bead blasted finish. I knew I was going to send the knife to SOT for a nice stone washing job, but Greg (grnamin) offered to make me a custom deep pocket clip for the Umnumzaan so it had to go to him first.

Greg made the clip by hand out of titanium and I think it looks great! Once I got the clip back from Greg, I sent the scales off to SOT for the stone washing job. Once that was finished, it was sent to Paul (Death's Head) to assemble the knife for me. Paul also made me a cool lanyard for it out of leather with a titanium bead from LZ.

Here are the pix courtesy of Death's Head:











*** This is a post I did on another forum, but I thought you guys might like to see the knife. It turned out great! The custom pocket clip simply makes the knife. I couldn't be happier with it.  ***

Its not everyone's cup of tea for sure, but I think that Chris was trying out a new design. The Sebenza is a great knife, but I find the selection of knives from CRK to be tiresome. I'm glad they tried something new.

Damn John, that knife is amazing! 

[Benner]

John, that looks bloody gorgeous! 

[Bucky]

Now they just have to hurry up and pay off the tooling costs so they can start making the small version.

My question was rhetorical to make a point, and you actually answered it with a definition pulled from a dictionary.

Like a fool I traded both of my Um's...    I just made a deal today to get another one and I couldn't be happier!     There is so much to love about this knife. I dont think I'll let this one get away again.

Good for you John. I have been carrying mine for the past few days. I took some random macro shots the other night also.
