A quick question for the crew. Some dealers show the clip inserts as different listings, others show them as the same. The CRK website lists a single part as fitting both large and small Sebbies. Can I assume that if I order a "large" insert it will fit a small Seb? Thanks and merry Christmas!
 
The clips for the Large & Small Sebenza and the Umnumzaan are the same. The clips slots are not; the large sebbie and umnum use the larger insert and the small sebbie uses its own insert.

"No It Will Not Fit A Small Sebenza"

That is not correct Spidyman, They make small & large clip inserts for Sebenza's, Also they are bead blasted or polished. The large clip insert for Sebenza fits the Umnunzaan. A large clip insert wont fit a small Sebenza, But a small clip insert will fit a large Sebenza but just wont fill the hole all the way. The reason I know this is because I have bought a total of 10 clip inserts from Heather at CRK for my 8 Sebenza's & 2 Umnunzaans and had a little trouble on 1 order getting the right size. I actually have a couple extra's in stock. $360.00 bucks for clip inserts, Thats wacked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have to order them bead blasted or polished? Or is it the sort of thing where one side is polished and the other side is bead blasted?

The only different listings I've ever seen were between large and small sebenza inserts.
 
Thanks, guys. I also spent some time searching here and it looks like it might depend on the year of the knife's production. Since this is a 2006 knife, I think I'll call CRK next week and talk to them so it's right the first time.

You will have 2 choices, Small or large, Bead blasted or polished, and yes they are polished on 1 side, After buying 10 of them I consider my self an expert.
If you order a bead blasted its bead blasted on both sides, I you order polished its only polished on 1 side.

If you get the bead blasted version be careful when you install the insert as they are not reversible.
There's a small angled chamfer on the end opposite the screw hole, this chamfer corresponds to an opposite chamfer in the scale itself.
