a well-rounded Sebenza

[grnamin]

Here's my newly retrofitted large lefty Sebenza (clip retro and beadblast by Reese Weiland):

Wayyyyy off topic,

I like the Guyver model in your avatar

 

[tknife]

Well darnit, the Sebbie is cool too!

 

[Revolvergeek]

Hey, I could use a clip like that mounted on a couple toys. How do I get in touch with Reese?

 

[stjames]

The smoothing of the handle profile and finish look nice, but the clip looks god-awful uncomfortable to me. But hey, as long as your happy, it looks like a quality retrofit.

 

[tom mayo]

what??!! Are you some sort of Sebenza expert or something???!!!!

 

[grnamin]

Kisu, bioboost!!! James, the clip actually feels flatter in the hand than the regular one that comes with the Sebenza. Revolvergeek, Reese can be contacted at rwphil413@earthlink.net .

No, just a known clip-hater

Greg, glad to hear you like it, I don't really have a reference as I take the clips off my knives if they have them

 

[tom mayo]

So you're clipless?
If you are new here, James actually is an expert on Sebenzas.

btw..........GREAT pic of the bridge dude!
CYA in three months!

You know I'm clipless, but the holes will be fine this time! I'm looking forward to seeing you, we'll have to locate a good steak place near the show

That shot is from the Marin Headlands, the City always looks better from a distance...

Nicely done! That clip will keep the knife low in the pocket as much as any I' ve seen. Greg, are those your "home brew" dual thumb lugs?

Nakano

 

[grnamin]

Hey, Kin. Yep, semi-home-brew.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Very nicely done. Normally I don't care for bead blast finishes as they tend to be harder to keep from rusting. Is there something about this finish that eliminates that problem?

 

[grnamin]

Keith, if you mean the finish in the blade itself, it still has the original stonewash finish from CRK. It's quite smooth. Won't catch and horde any moisture.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Sorry, I thought you had had the blade bead blasted as well. Disregard my previous statement.

 

[grnamin]

No prob, Keith. It's not the first time that's happened.
