I love my CRK. But i prefer the Inkosi. Would i say theyre the best. Probably not but they are certainly one of the best. If they were more fidget friendly they'd be perfect.

I'd say GECs are falling in the same category, but with essentially better marketing: small batches, varied models, but unlike sebenzas they sell much cheaper at launch. from an innovation perspective, they have missed alsmost a century of innovation in metalurgy. it's the hype and the memory about grandpa that keeps them high and wanted...

Knives as investments are obviously stupid, but ive been selling off part of my Maxace collection lately and its bringing back memories of when i randomly decided to buy a bunch of Bitcoin in 2011.

I'm fully with you on the brass smell, love it too. Always reminds me of goth chicks with nipple piercings 🥰
