Chris Reeve Sebenza polished vs standard blade

[pjco]

Any opinions on polished vs standard blade on CRK sebenza?

I believe I had one on an inlayed large 21... The polish was nice and left the blade thinner behind the edge than the standard, which I liked.

Agreed. They are significantly thinner than the standard ones and if you want a good cutter you cant go wrong.

Polished, or standard?
Yes please!

Polished. I like shiny things, like a crow...Also get it with an anodized graphic. Otherwise it's a grey turd

I'd say that "great minds think alike"; but I'd never want to insult you like that.

Polished for sure.

Truly hand finished, lil thinner and a lot better looking.

Fun fact. The German version is "simple minds, same thought". So for them it is an insult.....

I'll have to remember that: Thanks!

I actually called CRK to ask then the difference. She said they are the exact same blade size just mirror finished. She also said that it’s not suggested as a daily use knife because it will scratch easily.

But they are still WAY prettier...

They look better with some use anyways. and they can re-polish them.

I use my 2011 polished blade regularly with no scratch problems. CRK was BSing you.

What gets scratched are those soft Ti slabs. Worst Ti finish in the industry.
