It is inevitable that I am going to have a Sebenza.
I like the idea of dual studs. I am going to have a horizontal carry G2 sheath made so I do not want the clip. I have seen several references to a clip plug or somthing like that. Would someone explain that one.

I also want my initials put on it. Is this an expencive option?

Thanks for your help.

Bo, have CRK do the engraving. They use a better cutter than the mall engravers. I think they charge $25 as for the plug, it was $20. Good luck!

Bo,
The clip insert is basically a very short piece of "clip" that fills in the hole, but still gives a flat profile. The clip insert and screw, double thumblug and engraving are each $20 options. If you haven't ordered one yet, you can have it made to your specs rather than buying one and then sending it in for the work.

Hope this helps,
Cappy

A polished hollow grind is like the finishes on decorated sebenzas. The hollow portion is satin finished and the rest of the blade has a stonewash finish. The swedge is like those on the LDC sebenzas.

THAT IS RIGHT.
FOR 10 DOLLARS I WOULD GET IT POLISHED.
BUT 20 DOLLARS SWEDGE I DONT KNOW.

Could someone possibly post a picture showing these knives with some of the options mentioned? I saw the picture of the double thumb plug on another post. Would like to see clip insert, and small swedge.

Please at least describe a small swedge, How do I know if I want one if I do not know what it is.

Thanks

That is one GREAT picture you posted of the removed clip, stjames. I was thinkink of removing mine and changing over to that configuration, and getting a belt pouch. Your picture helped convince me. Thanks a lot !

For the Hollow Grind... do you mean that the handel is like one of a decorated sebenza? Or the blade?

A swedge is where the top of the blade is thinned. This allows better penetration, and lightens the blade. It also weakens the blade. A Spyderco Native has a swedge.

A polished hollow grind is like those on the blades of decorated sebenzas.

The swedge on the LDC line is minor, almost cosmetic. I am not sure if it is the standard pattern they use as a modification.

Does CR Knives sell an "insert" for the small sebenza? I mean an insert to replace the hole left if the clip is removed.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
