Just wanted to share my first Sebenza experience with everyone! I recently got engaged, and my fiance very kindly offered to get me something in exchange for her ring, so we took a trip to look at some man jewelry. Ultimately it came down to the Large 21 unique graphic vs Raindrop damascus, but the unique was too cool to pass up.
Honestly, I'd heard the many praises sung about Sebenzas - the pivot bushing, rock solid lockup, machining tolerances - but never really understood what they meant until I started using one. The blade grind is unreal, it just sings through cardboard (and anything else) and the rounded spine is a nice touch. It's a joy just to open and close, let alone use.
Now, there is one problem, which is to say about 12 other knives sitting lonely in their storage case... and more than that, I now find myself looking at the various CRK damascus offerings, and Insingo blades, and the Umnumzaan... but overall I guess it's not the worst problem to have.
