I hate to beat a dead horse, but I handled yet another sebenza today. This makes 5 or so. I cannot afford one; ok, I could, but my gf would probably throw me out. I just don't see what fit and finish everybody is raving about. It's nice, and quality and all that, but I don't see how it's better engineered than many knives that it is supposed to have it all over. Am I just not sophisticated enough to tell the difference? I have seen better openers, and certainly better closers than the Seb. I feel kind of dumb-They're like the holy grail of production knives, but i'm just missing it.
Does anybody else feel this way? I don't want this to turn into an explanantion of how and why the seb is so great-I believe you, but I'm actually looking to see if anybody else is underwhelmed by it.
