Just wondered if you traded or not? If so, do you have any pics of these knives, I've not seen one before.

Do it! Of all the Gold Coin Sebenza's, the Canadian is by far my favorite. What number is it?

Price wise, $750 to $1,000

Rick . . . appreciate you posting the url to the picture of the Canadian Umfaan. I meant to pick up an Umfaan at the Blade Show, but Chris Reeve was sold out except for the damascus blades. One look at the maple leaves and I found myself calling KnifeArt. The Canadian Umfaan should arrive tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip . . .

C4,
Reeve knives have been made right here in the USA for the past few years. The 1997 Gold Coin Sebenza, the one I am looking for, I believe has the US gold coin. I am not 100% sure because I have been unable to find a picture nor have I seen one at a show. All of the Gold Coins Sebenzas are rare and beautiful

I have gained the privilege of being the owner of #13 in the Gold Coin Sebenza series. I currently have the 2002 Austrian Gold Coin Sebenza, which I can no longer afford to own. The following is some information on the knife:
<BR>
Chris Reeve Knives- 2002 Gold Coin Sebenza, #13 of 20, integral lock, 4 3/4" closed, 3 1/2" Devin Thomas high contrast raindrop pattern carbon damascus blade, bronze anodized titanium thumb stud, notched thumb ramp, phosphor- bronze washers, bead blast titanium rear handle with integral side lock, polished titanium front handle with blue anodized logo, gold anodized opening bars of "The Blue Danube", 1/10th ounce Austrian Mint gold coin celebrating the prestigious Vienna Philharmonic (front side shows stringed instruments, the obverse shows the Vienna Golden Concert Hall which can be seen upon disassembly), polished stainless screws, thonghole, gold anodized titanium backspacer washer, bead blast titanium clip, leather slip sheath.
<BR>
This is one of the rarest Sebenzas in existence. There are only 20 of these knives made each year, and all 20 knives are spoken for long before they are ever made. Specific dealers have rights to specific numbers of these 20 knives each year. Each dealer then has certain customers to whom they give the right to purchase the same number of knife each year. The only way for one of these knives to become available is for a customer to waive his right to it (a situation that is about as rare as the knife itself).
<BR>
The gold coin collection started in 1997, and there have been a total of 6 knives in the series so far. However, with the first three knives in the series (U.S., Australia, and Canada), there were only 12 knives issued each year. In 2000, Chris extended the number of knives offered to 20. Therefore the #13 wasnt included in the series until the year 2000, beginning with the South Africa knife. In 2001, the China knife was offered. I do not currently own these other two #13 knives, but I have been granted the honor of having the first right to purchase #13 throughout the duration of the Gold Coin Sebenza series.
<BR>
When I asked Anne Reeve how long they planned to continue the Gold Coin Sebenza series, she told me that, although there are only a few more countries which offer fractional gold coins in 1/10 oz. denominations, Chris Reeve is considering continuing the series using platinum coins.
<BR>
Because this knife is part of a continuing series, I would prefer it go to someone who is interested in continuing the series and not just interested in this one particular knife. If you are interested and can provide a good home, please contact me at troywallis@earthlink.net.
