Well,

I bought a small reg. sebbie about 6-8 months ago. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. So, I sold it.

Flash forward: I haven't been able to get the sebbie out of my mind. Every time I go to the local knife shop, I handle one and think, 'Why did I sell that beauty?!'

I have tried and tried to not want one and have even made arguments as to why they are not worth it.

Well, today I finally broke down and got a large classic with lignum inlay. I had some Christmas money given to me and decided 'what the hell'.

I really am impressed with it. At the point I bought the small reg., I hadn't handled a lot of knives and had handled no customs. Over the last half year I have bought and sold a bunch of knives, including some customs. IN all seriousness, the large sebbie compares and exceeds all I have handled. I do have some customs, esp. from Steve Rice, that rival and exceed the sebbie in some ways, but I really do like the sebbie.

I guess I have returned to the dark side........

I think you done great! The large Classic w/wood inlays are my favorite. I too have returned to the Sebenza after a 2 year hiatus, and have a large Classic w/snakewood coming right before Christmas.:D:thumbup:

How's this for coincidence...

I pulled out the 'birth certificate' on my new sebbiee and guess what date was on it?????

December 7th, 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How's that for fate? I didn't see this until I was home with it.

I have gone to many customs and productions also....just to come back to SEBENZA!!!!
They are the best IMHO. You can go stock or customize to your taste. They can't be beat. Enjoy :)

That was your problem, you bought a small. Get a large (the way a sebenza is supposed to be) and you'll never regret it.

I think I am going to have to agree. It just feels SO right.

Off subject (sort of): I still have a hard time believing how STURDY the sebenzas are! I mean, you open it and there is no wiggle, play, sound, etc. It's like having a fix blade you can fold in half. :)

I can't wait to get it out in the outdoors and have some fun with it. Unfortunately, I can't do that right now here in OKC unless I want to cut ice.:(

Take care,
Brett
