I own multiple CRKs, including a small sebenza, and benchmades and love them both. I would choose the small sebenza for the reasons others have stated such as the ability to take it apart and reassemble easily, CRK spa, and overall build quality. But right now I’m carrying a benchmade because after breaking in a new sebenza, I have a sore thumb that is indented and pretty painful. Never had that happen with an axis lock. So you caught me at a time my vote got a lot closer on this one than it would usually be.
