I own knives from both camps and would say get the Sebbie first. CRK has a better finish on their knives 9 out of 10 times compared to William Henry IMHO. More robust and geared for work everyday. Lets not forget what Sebenza means. On the other hand, WHK makes a knife for a totally different purpose and they absolutely excell in their game. By both and get the best of both worlds, I would just pick the Sebenza first.

I work in a knife store that carries an good selection of WH and a couple of sebenzas we have 3 large in stock atm 1 large classic and 2 NICA while the fit and finish is exceptional i would not agree with it being better than that of a WH in the WH knives we have about 6-7 some ranging as far back as the late 90's and one in particular where there are only 5 in existance(my company bought all 5 hehe) the overall fit and finish is equal if not better than all of the sebenzas i have held.

that being said a sebenza is probably a better choice for a first knife since it can handle just about anything you throw at it.
 
I don't use knives that hard, mostly for packing straps, cling wrap around the meat load and opening boxes, but I demand quality (too many $20 knives drop screws on the floor) and I want the thing to bust me out of hell if I need to.
I witnessed a horrific accident about three years ago and because I had just had the police seize my edc three days prior (no crime committed I must add) and I couldn't get the seat belt off and the person suffered more damage than was necessary. I also have the burn marks on my hands and forearm where I had to reach and undo the buckle as a constant reminder that cost doesn't matter.
 
For emergency use, check out the Wilson Cop Tool. Its not really an EDC unless you are on duty as a first responder. However, not only will it dice seatbelts in an emer, extricate - including a glass breaker handle, and peel, it is also specifically designed to pry as well, something you can't say about most knives in general, especially folders... 0.02
