So far (2 days) I have only carried my XM. I will switch back to the Sebenza when appropriate or I want to change things up a bit. My cutting tasks rarely (maybe 1 time per week) require anything near the strength that these two have. Being REALLY honest, I could get by with my alox farmer for almost everything. BTW, that comes with me everywhere too. Over the last couple years I have tried many others but nothing has compared, or more importantly, kept me interested, like the sebenza and now the xm. So far I have made it almost 2 days without coveting another knife
Baby steps! As for full customs or other mid-techs, I know that there are a lot of options and some that equal or better (?) than the xm and sebenza 25 in terms of fit/finish and cool factor and performance. However, for now I don't have the urge to try them. I want to set myself a limit and not spend any more money on knives. That would mean trading one of these to fund another. It's not that I haven't done that before but I am going to try to not do that this time. Unless of course one of these end up not getting carried. So far so good
