Very nice. I have the the same trio.

Congrats!!! As always thanks for the knife porn. LOL!

You lucky devil.

Not that I can complain — every time I'm without my Sebenza (large regular) for any length of time, it actually makes me really happy to pick it back up. I'm sure I'll get an XM-18 one of these days, but I don't need to…

Gorgeous thanks for the graphic pornography ;]

 

[nitestocker]

now if you only had a decent knife

I'm only 1/3 on the "holy trinity" I refuse to own a CRK though unless I get it at a REALLY awesome price. But I'm gunning for the top one, I gotta buy me a 3.5" XM-18.

This thread is blasphemy and the op is a heretic!

What, 'cause I didn't add my Mtech Hunter Lockback?

At the very real risk of going off-topic, what's a REALLY awesome price for a Sebenza? I think retail is pretty good...

SMF CC is beautifully shaped and super ergonomic, and I gotta say, hardly less smooth than the Hinderer.

What does this mean?

Hi philwar -

Very nice trinity.

Now I would say you might be looking for an AGR Acies to put next to those beauties.

best regards -

You got the love child of Strider/Reeve.

All of the good, none of the bad.

nice trio!

ever considered the dauntless a natural among these?

 

[philwar]

What does this mean?

The Strider has a reputation for being... less than super smooth, shall we say? While the XM-18 has the opposite rep. This SMF at least is very smooth to open and close, from day one.

Never heard of it, just looked it up, there's a few models. That all look good, by the way.
But I need to handle it to know.

Thanks man I've been wanting an SMF really bad but was afraid of the stiffness reputation. Maybe I'll have a trinity some day too. :thumbup:

Eh If I could get a large micarta for $300 ish I'd pay it. Any more and I don't like the nickel and dime warranty. Everything cost $$$$. I just sent my strider back for a sharpen and adjustment, $15 bucks everytime. THAT is what's up on a warranty. But basically I'm going for the XM-18, just got to handle one and it's hands down better than anything I've had the chance of holding.

$15 in your pocket if you sharpened and adjusted it yourself... every time... just like with a Seb. Bear in mind, CRK actually gives you the tool to do it yourself.

 

[Bill86]

Oh I don't care about 15 bucks really. I just hate that say I need a new pocket clip for a sebenza it's like $20-30 for a POCKET CLIP. EVERYTHING you can imagine has a price tag next to it, they do NOTHING for free after you've dumped $350-450 on one of their knives.
