UPDATE NEW SCALE: One-of-a-kind Sebenza !!!

[maxbelg]

I'm very excited to say the least: I have this one-of-a-kind Sebenza incoming with a custom sculpted titanium scale (by Daniele Serrano). I don't think the seller will mind me posting this pic. What do you guys and gals think? I might have to sell my plain large regular to fund the acquisition but oh well.......

I think having that Basketweave pattern on a regular blade shape is the bees knees! Congrats!

Thanks Lisa, somehow I suspected you'd be the first to answer
I think the handle is a big improvement from the original as well:

For a minute I thought I had started the thread and clicked in out of curiosity.

Now that's funny I read the title and also though it was you're thread untill I noticed his name


OP, that is one great looking Sebenza !!! Congrats on such an awesome score

[maxbelg]

Thanks Ken44. Yes usual threads with amazing Sebenzas are started by Lisa 90% of the time!!!

Ohhhh, I like that original handle...did you get it too?
Happy day for you!

That is a cool pice of damascus, the handle is less my sort of thing but actually looks no bad.

No Lisa, the handle was sold by the previous owner, but I don't mind because that was certainly not my taste! This one actually comes with an orange G10 handle as well, but I can't see myself using this one either:

How can we contact Daniele Serrano?

[lisantica]

No matter what, that was a great catch! I'm happy for you!

[maxbelg]

Thanks Haze,
yeah taste is a strange thing. The only special graphics handle I've seen that I like is my Isle of Man Sebenza. This is something so different that I like it a lot.

I noticed you scored that one this morning, congrats. I would of loved that one myself, but boy you were quick

Looks great - excellent pattern on that blade.

[maxbelg]

Yeah, luckily Lisa doesn't seem to frequent the British sites or I wouldn't have had a chance!

Thanks hoodep, this will be my first CRK damascus, but from pics I like this pattern most (except maybe river of fire).
