I've never liked Sebenzas but i ordered one a few days ago just to see what all the fuss is about. Got it today and i love it! It's the most perfect folder i've ever handled. Granted i've never owned any high end customs but i've had about half a dozen Striders and several other high end production folders and none of them can compare to this one in terms of fit, finish and feel.
Now to my question: My new sebbie is a small classic with cross-cut cocobolo inlays, and i read at www.plazacutlery.com that there aren't many of this version around. Do anyone know how many there are with cross-cut cocobolo inlays?

Well, there should be at least two since I bought the one advertised at Plaza Cutlery :D It's my second small Sebenza, the first one being a Desert Ironwood. I like both very much but I almost like the Cocobolo a tad more since the grain is very distinct and expressive.

I wonder how many Sebenzas - of all kinds - there are in Sweden. Well, at least now there are two with a lot of attitude :)

There are quite a few. I'll surely get more! If you haven't already checked out www.utrustning.se you should... lots of swedes with common interests there.
 
I never seen a cross cut wood inlay before.

It is great looking, congrats.
 
Just for added info here, I liked that one at Plaza and missed buying it to a fellow knifenut in Sweden! So I emailed CRK and asked about ordering one and they said that they do not take orders for crosscut Cocobolo wood Sebs. They said that they are something they do for special occasions, like knife shows and that dealers sometimes buy them there to resell. It seems that the crosscut wood is hard to work into the handle without damaging the wood, so they don't do very many of them.

Well, sometimes you have to be fast :o Or, as Michail Gorbachev once warned the East German leader Honecker: Who comes too late is punished by life. I've taken some pictures though, so you can see just what you missed to a fellow swedish knifenut.
