The large sebenza opening sound.

[SVTFreak]

Never heard a knife (or a sound period) quite like it. A metallic "clank"

Just an observation.

[JPR984]

Agree! That sound is the reason I am obsessed with opening and closing it till my thumbs are sore. I live for the noise..

[burnside]

I do admit a love of the opening and closing sounds of my Sebenza.

[Desert Hermit]

Agreed. Just one more thing to love about a Sebenza.

[rolexkid]

the mnandi sounds great also!

[jwolf90]

AGREED love it

[Steel_Addiction]

Gets me goin!

Now that I have a small to complement the large, it's nice hearing the difference between them. The large definitely sounds better with the authoritative "clank" rather than the small which is more like a nervous "clink". (Still love the small though).

Whenever my small sebbie loses the clanking sound, and gets more of a dull thud, I know it's time to clean it.

[hondahirny]

Love that sound also. The large Sebbie does a better job than the small.

Must say though, my favorite sound is that of a 12ga shotgun being operated. Only because you know the big boom comes next. The clay pigeons didn't have a chance...

lol Gotta agree with that.
Wishing you a Large Sebbie and 100 Straight.

My large Sebbe makes a better opening 'clank' sound than my small sebbe, but the small makes a better closing 'tink' or 'clink' sound than the large.

I also think the opening sound is more of an authoritative 'CLICK' sound than a 'clank' sound. It has more of a bassy 'clock' or 'clunk' sound than a klinky 'clank' sound. Kind of hard to put into words, but we all know the sound and it's a good sound.

edit: after opening a few more times, I think the opening sound on my large regular is a 'CLACK' sound (this might all depend on the weather).

[arskrg]

I think I kind of prefer the small's closing clink to the opening clank. Does that make me weird?
I think it's because of the dozens and dozens of different knives I've owned prior I've never had one that made that particular sound...

[AKWILD]

My large carbon fiber sounded a little off. But love the sebbie.

[RiverRat84]

It's amazing that what brings a smile to our faces annoys the crap put of others!

Can't tell you how many times I've heard "are you just gonna click that thing all day?!"

On a related note, the Umnumzaan is pretty silent. Must be the rubber rings on the thumb studs? Solid "clack" when its closed though!

[BladeChick777]

To me.. when you open the Large Sebenza it makes a "CLICK" and when you close it the sound is a less noisy "Clack". I love it.
