Westllen: One heck of a collection you have there....

The CRK 1 piece knives are sweet,

I like the way they sound when you cut stuff because of the hollow handle :thumbup:

This is my Mountaineer 1

hey bro, the colored caps (red, yellow, green and maybe blue) was something CRK tried out temporarily for a very short period. It didn't go over very well and was discontinued. I love'em ...wish I can find more!:thumbup:

[westllen]

thanks! cool...i have not seen that before...

come to think of it, i just noticed that some of your knives have hexagonal caps while the others are round to match the handle...I don't recall seeing the hex ones before...was that a limited run or is it an option that you can request?

RL

Hex caps...here's a quote from CRK.:thumbup:

Jules

All knives made in South Africa were supplied with hexagonal (not octagonal!) caps. We made the change to round caps in 1990/1 for the large caps and a year or so later for the small caps.

By and large, the hex and round caps are interchangeable.

How 'bout a nice user. Bought this Mountaineer II used and have used it myself a good deal. I have the Birthday card around somewhere, but I'm pretty sure it was made in 1997. Its a great knife, I love everything about it. Perhaps I'll send it in for a facelift.

I'm in too.

Here you go Jules.

Yeah I'd say your right about their not being a lot of them around, very cool knife though, IMO.
