Classic or Regular?

jrk · Apr 17, 2005

I'm probably going to be laughed at for asking this, but I've never held these guys, or seen them besides pics, just read enough about the Seb to know I want this as my first higher end make. Are the differences b/n the two strickly cosmetic, or are there any strength/durability/etc. differences? If anyone has any input on how they made their decision when making their Seb. purchase, I would love to hear. Thanks for the time,

Randy

it's all cosmetic. pick one and be done.
the regular with swedge= mimics the classic's blade profile

Does the classic have a different handle? It doesn't have the bumpy curves around the lock that the regular version has? I think this adds some comfort in the grip.

the classic had a different handle. no serrations on the lock area

I prefer the Regular due to the better grip via the notched handle....

The top two Sebbies in this pic are the Classic design while the bottom two are the Regular.

I like the classic best, but have more regulars.

Regular. Has better 'lines,' and is easier to close for me with that handle design. Had a classic and sold it off for another regular.
