Rolexkid, can you post a picture of your 21's lockup?
I assumed that more lockup was better, and am trying to understand why that isn't so. I'm not talking about my knife in particular now; it locks up with authority and snap, unlocks without drag or too much effort, and stays locked positively, which seems like the proper responses of a knife lock.How is it that a knife can lock up too much? What are the symptoms/results?
I am curious, too, about how CRK would fix a knife that was locking up too much.... (just writing that sounds strange too me).
I'm pretty sure you busted it, and that it can't be fixed. but because I'm a giving guy, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. you send me your irreparably broken sebbie, and I'll send you a nice vic cadet. deal?![]()

Its not actually the whole lock face contacting the blade tang. you should only have contact at the bottom of the blade tang
Hmm, can you cite this? it kinda sounds like a bit of strider misinformation.
What about the new Umzaan? If I read the descriptions correctly, only a ball-bearing (or two) on the top of the lockbar touches the tang. That would be just a small, single point of contact.
The ceramic ball / blade interface is an impressive evolution of the integral lock -- lock wear concerns are eliminated. Of course, this is pretty much FUD with Sebenzas anyway, since CRK heat treats lock bars to eliminate lock wear anyway. I've EDC the same Sebenza for 12 years, and the lock-up point hasn't moved a bit.

12 years? Now that is impressive. Have you ever sent it back to be refurbished?
