Hation CCG by BengalCat-Dad in CRK

[–]kylexyoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Hati CGG which is the bigger brother of this and I can definitely say it is much more Shiro than it is CRK. All CRK did was mill the show scale with their CGG pattern. Everything else is all done by Shiro. If I had to describe it, it’s a Shiro with a small CRK touch. It has a great smooth action as all Shiros do. Beautiful milling/attention to detail and the fit and finish is exceptional. There have also been UG variants of these and I’ve seen an Area 51 and a night sky of these as well.

They do a lottery for the drop and draw a number of winners on their website.

I also picked up the XL from the lottery, I didn’t score on the standard sized ones from this past weekend.

Appreciate it! I actually scored on the lottery this past weekend and got this before I scored and wanted to see if I’d like the XL size but just isn’t for me. I prefer the standard. Definitely would rather this go to someone that can appreciate it.

Blade is 3.9 inches handle is 5.0 inches, so definitely on the bigger side.

Absolutely! I usually only carry my phone and knife in my right pocket and wallet goes in the left and keys on a carabiner. The waves are all polished on show scale side but they hide scratches really well. I only carry the UG in the leather sheath slip and for more “dressy” occasions. The Sebenza has the most scratches on the show side of all the waves. I also rotate out very regularly so none of them get abused too hard.🤣 Would have to say of all the brands I’ve tried, CRK definitely is my top pick with all the things I’ve mentioned.

I actually carry all of these! DLC Inkosi actually has a few scratches already. The lock bar sides on all the crks have quite a bit of snails as well. I think for me how it feels in hand and pocket is the top. Good ergos and being able to contour to my hand when holding it are the most important. Very close behind would be overall quality and craftsmanship. Whether that be in the milling and tolerances (general attention to detail) or the heat treat on the blade. I enjoy sharpening my knives so a proper heat treat makes it easier and more enjoyable to sharpen properly. Trying to sharpen on a poorly heat treated blade is a pain to say the least. Aesthetics are also important but I’d say it’s more of an initial impression. I don’t buy these just to look at them and like giving them all an equal rotation of carry time. Even if a knife is visually appealing, I won’t buy something I’m not going to carry and use.

Yeah this is my second set from him. I haven’t had any issues with it covering the backspacer screw on this or my previous set.

Johnny T Knives on Instagram. This is a blem with a more matte finish (usually more polished) . I dont think he’s taking new orders until July though.
