Wow. That looks like a very cool piece of history. Do you happen to know the birthday on that beauty?

Looks like a fake to me, but I'm not a CRK expert by any means.

 

[kidcongo]

Pretty sure that's fake, but heck.....what do I know. Tell us about it!

 

[Corytr]

I doubt it's a fake. It looks like an old, maybe even a pre-"H" Sebenza to me. It assuredly has no clip.

Time to channel your inner Paul Harvey, and tell us the Rest of the Story!

PLEASE!!!!!

handmade “SENENZA” before H
Congratulations!

Fancy design, truly beautiful as a "fake" sebenza XD.

Hehe. I can assure you this is 100% legit, and bought originally directly from CR in the VERY, VERY beginning. One owner since then until now. (Not me unfortunately)
A very unique piece, and probably one of the most collectible Sebenzas out there. Was called the "Titanium folder" back then, don't know when Sebenza started to be used as a name.
Congrats!! Wonderful piece.

That right there is one of the most original of OG Sebenzas, even though it wasn't called the Sebenza yet. I've only ever seen them mentioned in a couple other threads. Here's one of them. Apparently, they were made in 1988, so South African made.

What does the "21" stand for here? Is it just production numbers?

 

[Sigp210]

Nope..actual serial number. #21 of the very first Titanium folders.

Nope..actual serial number. #21 of the very first Titanium folders.

Wow. In hindsight, that may just be the best one to have! A bit of foreshadowing in a 1988 handmade knife. 😀

Wow.. Nice!!

I like the blade shape.

What's a odds of that 21 being #21? Reminds me of the fake old coin joke where the Roman coin is marked 20BC.

Thanks for sharing so neat to see the beginning of a success story .

Knowing the guy who bought it from Chris in 1988, I can assure you that is a very lucky co-incidence. He also bought 4 hollow handle knives at the time that are all #5...2 of which I now own. The other one of these "Sebenzas" seen on this forum is #30, which is in the USA. No idea where the others are, I hear Chris doesn't have any of this series from 1988. Very much handmade I assume.
Yes, it does have a clip on the other side. Congrats to the owner.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

This guy is legit! Has some of the most rare Sebenzas I've ever seen. So, no doubt he knows that this piece isn't a Fake CRK.
