And to think that I never finished the series's of pics for this thread. Now with a major find inbound I'm going to wait for that box of grails to get here.
A couple weeks ago I ran this thread, http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1361854-Signs-That-You-Own-Too-Many-CRK-s , after finding a small Regular tucked in with some Benchmades. So today I spent all afternoon setting all my CRK's on my table for a family pic. Or so I thought. When I got ready to start putting some away, I pick up a plastic dish that I'd put the tissue wrap from some of the boxes in. What did I also find in there? You guessed it, ANOTHER SMALL REGULAR, ths one with ATS-34 steel. So I had to snap another family pic. 
Once again, I have no Inbounds, so this seemed like a good time to redo the group pic. From the pic I posted a couple weeks ago showing 100 CRK's to now, I've sold 12 and received 11. So I'm at 99 CRK's, 80 of which are Sebenzas. There's an even dozen Mnandis, 6 Zaans, and a single Ti-Lock. I'll be redoing the group pics, as so much has changed since I started this thread. A lot of new to me, and a lot have been sold or traded away. Having 99 here is actually my highest amount that were mine. When I posted the pic of 100, 2 were sold and shipped out the next morning. Here's the updated table pic.
And here's the blades of the smalls with damascus. From left to right; River of Fire, DT Ladder, Gerry Rados Ladder, B&W (bad picture angle) DT Ladder, blue DT Spiro, black DT spiro, B&W DT Raindrop, bronze DT Pinstripe, DT Ladder.
OK, now I'm just laughing at myself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you....
100 CRK's!
Really like blue blade one too.
You mean of just the blades? Second from right is a 1999 Box Elder Annual with Pinstripe damascus.
That's it..Very cool!
Thank you
For sure on those damascus blades. Some of the if not thee best have seen anywhere. The blade on the one with purple x's is stroke inducing good.
Know this is CRK forum but what Benchmades you got LW? Any chance Gold Class? Would like to see some pics of other blades can't obtain unless sold 1/2 of all my others.

LW, was it a plan/goal to have 100 CRK's or has it just happened that way????? NO!!! I never wanted to be above half this amount, but my collection changed direction and some real beauties came along. As of about 30 minutes ago, I'm officially back down to 99. One of the Larges is headed to Canada.
Are any other brands as extensive as this one???? Not even close. I have 10 Randalls, a dozen or so Hinderers, maybe a dozen Benchmades, and half a dozen ZT's
Is that beautiful table you have going to be able to support all your CRK's????? The table is extremely well made, it could easily support the knives, plus your drool cup.
Have you updated the numbers of each different type you have???? 43 large Sebenzas (now 42), 38 smalls, 12 Mnandis, 6 Zaans and a Ti-Lock
I would love to see your collection in person, as great as the pics are, there's nothing more impressive than seeing them in person. Would I need an armed guard while you were here?
