I absolutely agree about being thankful every day! Some of the things I think about every single day are: the fact that I have basically unlimited clean hot or cold water whenever I want, that I have all my limbs, fingers, toes, sight in both eyes, hearing in both ears. I feel it's important to remember how amazing it is that our bodies can turn food into energy to keep us breathing & our hearts pumping. It's really a miracle. I'm not religious or anything, but I really do feel that way. I found this video because I've never owned a CRK & I've considered getting one several times. Still not sure whether I'll actually grab one, but your video helped me to better understand the Umnumzaan. Thanks for the video my man! :o)

Great way to start the video. So often we are hunting for material objects,knives, to fill a void. Gratitude for what we have fills it more permanently. Well said sir. 🤜🤛

I’m so happy I came across your channel. I love your message and your reviews. Keep it up

Add a Ripps Garage Tech Pocket clip to the knife. Also after having used and carried mine for around six months as a daily carry, it really smoothed out both opening and closing. I put a laid back edge on mine and it is among my favorite daily carries.

I sold my S35vn version and just received the s45vn version. Couldn’t be happier with it

Great review and video! This really spoke to me. I finally have a Zaan in s45 with a Tanto blade.💪

Right now, there’s an old Irish lady jumping for joy because she finally found a knife she can carry and STILL have room for her knick knacks

I have this exact blade style in S35vn and loved the Zaan so much I ordered a tanto version from CRK direct and its coming in S45vn. This knife is AWESOME!

I really enjoyed the message of gratitude and that life is good. I also think that when I have a high end blade in my hand, damn life is pretty good

Nice video with a emotional touch! Have a s45 tanto Zaan. Love it ! I did take a while for me to get it open in a smooth way, just the umnunzaan way

That’s how you know you’re fancy when you use your $450 knife to cut Macy’s boxes!

I love the vibes you put out there man! What a knife! If you ever want to sell it, message me!

“Nicnaks in your pocket”. Lol. You need to open and close this knife a few more times. I enjoyed your video and gave you a 👍.

Getting my Umunzaan this week, looking forward to it!

Wedge your thumbnail against the thumb stud ,instead of the soft meaty part of your thumb.when opening the knife. I just bought the large sebenza 31 bog oak. Sore thumb for a day or two, until I used the nail method,try it!

Wish mine was that smooth after I’ve had mine a year!

I just got my first Zaan and st first was concerned with how ridiculous the detent is, I honestly thought something was wrong it's so strong. Glad to know I'm not the only one who had to "white knuckle" it to get it open lol, and even then it still doesn't want to. I have other CRKs so I'm used to how stiff they are at first but still holy shit! Until it's broken in more I've been opening it with my index finger and thumb together with both studs so I don't cut myself. That or two-handed like a buck knife 🤣

I saw a trick by a guy on yt. Can't remember who it was. He strongly suggested you use the side of your thumb to push the lockbar to the side. I can send you a video of how to do it if you need it so let me know, but I find it is MUCH more comfortable than using the tip of your thumb. I use the bottom side of my thumb btw

They were more concerned with the thumb studs to be external blade stops

S35VN steel with the full titanium framelock..... what could be better? I have my Pro-Tech TR-3 Manual, same materials ... If you buy something like that, you will never need anything else. U get a knife for life. This is also a great choice. This is a holy grail of folding knives. For 500USD ... this is the last money you will spend for a knife in your entire life.

Just take the pocket clip off and bend the bottom tab down a little bit and then it won’t make a hotspot anymore

I kept my lanyard on. I use it to pull the knife out of my pocket.

👍👍👏🔪

So you have been sharpening sticks with a crk for 3 months and wanna share your opinion…. I better keep mine to myself

Wish these these things actually existed. I'd love to have one =(

Wow it can cut a box.
