Hi
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Are the Thumb Lugs on this sebenza made of gold?

 

[Kenon Rain]

looks like brass to me, that's a hell of a chunk of gold

It is anodized titanium.

I have an African Blackwood inlay large Sebenza with the same color stud, and while the anodizing has slightly worn off the tip of the thumbstud, it looks better longer than the blue.

Dislike the gold simply because the finish wears off easy but detest the blue. The silver variation is my favorite.

Gold-anodized aluminum.

Gold-anodized aluminum.

So titanium or aluminum?

So titanium or aluminum?

I believe it is titanium.

 

[BBQ BOY]

Aluminum and steel can not touch if I remember correctly.

Yup, they should be gold anodized titanium. And it does were off after a while. But when that happens just mirror polish the sucker!

 

[JNewell]

I don't see it either way on CRK's website but Google votes for titanium - sorry.

Aluminum and steel can not touch if I remember correctly.

My AR-15s hope you are wrong.

It's the same titanium that the Mnandi clips are made from.

Very nice! High-five!!

The thumb studs are Titanium, as is the back spacer and both handle scales. The blade is made from steel, as are the screws. The only other material in there is the Phosphor Bronze used for the washers........gold, brass and aluminium indeed. .............:thumbup:

(The thumb stud on the new Ti-Lock is made from "Aluminum Bronze" so maybe that's where people are getting the funny answers from ?)
