Can't decide on first CRK, should I go Sebenza 21 or 25?

Loving my 25. Been carrying it everyday! Very smooth.
My only complaint is that I can't get it centered

Same here, my centering is off, I took it apart cleaned it, when is was putting the pivot back I bent the washer a tiny bit, I have to contact CRK and buy knew washers for the pivot.
 
I love how the first wave of people said "oh yeah 21 for sure!", then I was all like "cool man 21 it is!", then second wave of people were all "totally go with the 25, its the best knife ever!".

:rolleyes:

Again guys thanks so much for the feedback. As much as I want to try the 25 I think the 21 is going to come first, which I think is what I wanted all along. The 25 seems awesome but has too many little things I don't like (why is that half circle cut out of the spine?!). Also the ergos on the 25 leave me a bit iffy, definitely the type of knife I would rather hold before purchasing.

Awesome feedback everyone, can't wait until I can post a pick of my brand new CRK :)

Interestingly, from the photos I've seen the half-circle is not cut out of the spine on the limited edition 1/25 2500 dollar version. Why would that be?
 
You sound like me a few months back. I think you'd be happy with either one. I got the 25 and have been very happy with it. I really like the ceramic lock interface, the finger groves are perfect for my hand, and I appreciate the thicker blade stock. That being said the 21 is already a classic and has many happy owners. I'll probably eventually get a small 21 so I'll have one when I feel like carrying a smaller knife. Either way you'll probably be able to sell either one for minimal loss if you don't like it. The loss would be less with the 25 though.
 
There are things I like over one or the other. My 21s are lighter, slimmer, easier to clean, and a tad more comfy in the hand. My 25 is all around beefier, has a fantastic closed detent, and I really dig the ceramic interface. Tough choice!

Archman which did you keep the 21 or 25, i remember you said you were only going to hang on to one of them, or you changed your mind and kept both?
 
Yeah I am keeping both plus a sm. 21 at least for now. When I look at my knives and sell/trade the ones I don't use I try to be honest with myself. One of the questions I ask myself is "would I likely replace this knife in the future?" If the answer is yes I probably won't let it go unless there is something else that REALLY seems to scratch the itch! If I sold one of my Sebs I feel like I would almost certainly replace it at some point.
