Am I being dumb?

I would continue saving and go for the Sebenza. Personaly I would go with the large regular but thats just me.

You need to consider as well the extra value you get from Reeve after you buy the Sebenza. The warranty and rebuild policies etc. should come into play as well.
 
Now to make things even more difficult the Umnumzaan is looking really good to….is it as good as my other obsessions?
 
Its havin a different name tipped me off to that…:D

I was speaking more to its attributes.

Sebenza's attributes are simplicity and form, I hope the pictures below help distinguish the differences for you ;)

They are both great knives. If it is so hard for you to make a decision which one to buy now, then I'm pretty sure that some time in the future you will end up with both. Only after owning both for a week or so, you will be able to decide which knife is better for you. If you get Alias now, you will think later, if you are missing out . If you get Sebenza now, you will still be looking at Alias, thinking that it might suit your needs better and you can get another folder for the price difference. I think handling both knives for a short period (especially 8 months ago) really isn't enough to make a decision. Reviews, comparisons, opinions are good, but in the end only YOU know what YOU like most. I think you should own both for a week and then decide which one to keep. In your situation I would say keep saving till you get a job, then buy either, and start saving for the other one.
