Hi, I had a small classic Sebenza a few years ago that I really liked. I sold it to try out other folders, but after a lot of experimentation have reached the same conclusion many of you have that it is one of the best folders out there and the one that best meets my needs.

I know that I want another small Sebbie since I will be using it both for EDC in the office as well as for when I am out in the field hunting/fishing/backpacking.

Which model would you recommend and why? I'm particularly looking for input on the blade profiles and for what tasks the different versions are more suited as well as the different handle ergonomics.

As always, I appreciate benefiting from your collected wisdom!

Note: apologies if this has been asked and answered ad nauseum already. I did do a search but did not see a clear delineation of the different models and preferences.
 
I prefer the 21, but the differences are so subtle that any model would make me happy.
 
The Classic and the Model 21 are virtually the same except the comfor?? (The edge near the pivot pin)on the 21 is a bit bigger.I have the Regular. It is however personal aesthetics that appeal. I also prefer a bit more belly to my knives as I cut with that part the most. The Regular worked well for me in skinning and general camping chores and also at work and doing mandate chores.

Either way you will not be disappointed.

Ps- The Regular model is Discontinued!
 
A regular blade with a classic handle would be best. I've never owned a 21. Get a regular with graphics, and a classic with inlays :D.
 
I like the 21 best. BUT If I could buy any of them, I would buy a classic because 1. I like it almost as well and 2. it is discontinued and so they will get more and more scarce.
 
Thanks,
Actually those pics were perfect as I am more interested in the Classic and 21 out of the three
 
I owned a regular a few years ago but sold it to buy a classic. The access to the lock bar is better on the classic. Blade shape was close enough for me.
 
I prefer the classic 2000 (MM). I only have the wood inlay versions, the overall look and feel of that particular model really appeals to me. The blade shape and profile are slightly different to the regular and the classic blade has a couple of millimeters extra length.

The differences are small and would make little impact on actual use. It just comes down to personal preference.
