Tim i never thought you would take over the business! I will never forget Chris helping me with my dirtbike and your mom cooking such great dinners!! Miss you guys! You are great people!!!!
Love this brand !!!! But y’all need to make more knife production lol
Supply vs demand
They are making more knives than they ever have! Easy for you to say though
2:39 That guy better be careful or he’ll void the warranty for excessive flicking.
Tim, I ordered a Pacific and a Green Beret 3.5 years ago. Pricing was $325. I was told a one year turn around. After this time passed I received an email that the Company was going to make my Pacific. But, It would now cost me $375, not $325. Shipping made it $395. I ask the lady if the GB would be in production soon. The answer was, don't hold her breathe on this very long. essentially what was conveyed. Have purchase blades on the aftermarket. All Pacifics and GB's in FDE. Except one black Pacific. Point being, I was OK with a year, but 3.5 and then a price hike. Not honoring the price I ordered at is Bad Business. Nice Bump for the Finances. However, your customers/clients are getting the short end of the stick. That's not cool at all. Leaves a bad taste in our mouths. Nice blades, but there seems to be some arrogance in the front office when questioning the manager. Sorry to say these things, but since we are all family, I wanted to bring this to your attention.
Best knives ever!!!
I love my small sebenza 31 plain. I carry it every single day! Keep up the good work!
I love my knife....carry Chris knife everyday!
Please explain the price? A one man,hand made knife is a 500$ knife! Randell made! Your knife is quality nice, but machinery made!
Love the Video, we need more of these videos please!!
Best customer service I have ever experienced. I will have a Sebenza in my pocket till I quit breathing!
yes. indeed.
Sebenza 31 an absolute shame! That Ceramic ball bullshit. Inducing a pivot point so the blade rolls on that and the lock bar bends. It’s called lock bend/lock rock
All totally normal they say… BULLSHIT.
flumsy cheap appearance clip, crap thumbstud, ratteling lanyard pivot.
If that’s the best quality, it clearly has nothing to do with highest grade.
I am not impressed with my Sebenza 31 and I know the community is kinda dissatisfied about it.
CRK is all I buy. Such a great knives!
Great vid Tim. With you and your family for many years. Thanks for the fantastic knives. Now… make a large Mnandi! 😂😊
I love CRK. Best top of quality. Just right in this moment I have Large Sebenza 21 Lunar Landing in my pocket. We love CRK!!
Less videos, more inventory
Heard that!
With excellent tooling, machinery and operators it's not difficult to make a great product. However it'd be wise not to underestimate the time and commitment required to go that one step further.
Literally just finished sharpening my large sebenza and this video pops up on my feed!
Glad to see the company doing well and continuing to produce a product we know and love. Cheers!
I'm in Botswana, next to South Africa where your Dad starting the business. I wish I could have bought those knives before he moved far to the US. Unfortunately I was born in 1986. But I'll.make sure I order them one by one. The backpacker, inkosi, Sebenza and Nyala are on my list ❤❤❤❤ love those knives. I think think they will pair well with mcnees PM 2. Which I have also .
The quality continues!
Was in love already and catches an Umnumzaan couple weeks ago and fall back in love all over again. Great knives with phenomenal quality
31 bhq Carbon Fiber large in pocket now❤
THERE IS A MAGNA-CUT UNMANZAN IN MY FUTURE, THANKS
It's a tough market to be in when Chinese knives are 98% the quality of the CRK at 1/10 of the price. CRK tries to convince buyers that slow, bulky action is "hydraulic " and justifies the $450 price. Haha.
It’s the tight tolerances, perfect design angles of the lock up interface, artistic design. It’s a perfected tool not meant for poor people like you.
Would I be able to pay for a blade replacement/upgrade? Magnacut blade for my old, carbonfiber slab show side 'knife art edition' large sebenza 21?
I come from multiple generations of tool users, metallurgists, and foundry men. I was taught to respect my tools and to buy the best quality I could afford. Your family's dedication to quality is the way craftsmanship should be. I just received my newest CR about a week ago. It's a left-handed small Sebenza in MagnaCut. It's everything I had hoped for and sure to serve me the rest of my retired life. I hope someone in the family can appreciate it for what it is someday.
Simply the best possible. Thank you.
I have large sebenza love it definitely great quality knife.
Got my First Sebenza 31 small plaine Jane ..
I have two, plan to get two more.
The word for customer turns friend is Friendstomer. There you go!
I love that Tim is wearing a T. Rex Arms hat. Let’s hit the range Tim!
Bring back the ti-lock please I want one so bad
If you wanna stay in the Stone Age could we at least get a model that has bearings and a double stud or hole? My 31 large magna is an absolute beast but I can’t help but want to play with it 😢
Plenty of other brands for that. Not everyone needs to do everything
They need to make a flipper.
❤🥰💜💞😍🔥💯
Is there a reason why when I put back my sebenza the pivot screw spins and I have to lock it on other side with another Allen wrench?
It's a free spinning pivot
Give me your knife. Too dangerous for you if you can’t pick up the mechanical concept of a knife naturally
Love you all at CRK🤜🏼🇺🇲
Unbelievable knives!!!! I carry my Large Inkosi every day!
Way over priced. I'll stick with benchmade.
Really wish Chris was still with the company. Quality is really taken a hit, Prices have gone up as well. Also, very weird that he refers to his father by his first name
All this talk about quality but I think everyone will agree it’s gone down hill since little buddy took over- talking like a dope dealer and his custies are his best friends lol
I think it would be a big hit if you guys made a button lock sebenza. Or a similar model
That’s an awesome video! Gives me an entire different view of CR knives and put them on my wishlist!
Amazing brew I love this keep them coming! My mom and dad are from South Africa Johannesburg we live in Oregon now and you guys make the best knives in the world and customer service we love and support you to the end!
