    Couple of Questions for Small Sebenza Owners

    I'm on the wait list for a CF Sebenza, but it looks like it's going to be a long while before they are available again. Was thinking of buying the standard ti version to make the wait more bearable.

    1)Is the small light and compact enough to "disappear" in the pocket, or does it feel kind of heavy to carry in lighter weight pants?
    2)If I was to buy one and sell it 6 months or a year down the line, would I be able to get back most of what I paid for it (I'll be getting a the lefty version)?
    3)I know the small Seb has a shorter blade than Spyderco's Para 2 and Caly 3.5, but those knives have large choils. Does the smaller blade on the Sebenza feel a lot smaller than those knives, or does it have about the same amount of useable edge?

    Thanks in advance! Can't wait to own a Sebenza again!

    Yes the small seb is alot smaller but the blade has prob just as much edge as a Para2, also its just as stout as the large blade. I had a small for a day but it was just to small for me b/c I'm used to a large Sebenza but the small can def do anything that a knife should be asked to do. yes you can recoop most of your $ if you want to sell down the line so yes go for it

    1) yes, both clipped and in pocket, even with the leather slip it carries well even in tight pants
    2) yes, you won't loose much value ...but you'll definitely keep it! it's worth it
    3) it's 3" or 75mm usable edge, about the same my para had
    it's not little edge, it's a good amount of usable edge in a compact package

    well done!
    you'll be amazed, it's small but can handle the same jobs as a bigger handled knife, lots of edge there!
