Do You EDC Higher End Knives Like Sebenza?

My Sebenza 25 is the only knife I've been carrying. Gotta enjoy what you like :)
 
My striders and Sebenzas stay in my gun safe most of the time. My pockets are filled with Curtiss Calavera and George mostly. I am getting a Southard Tolk tomorrow. To me it looks like it should be similar to a sebenza 25 flipper. That might make it the perfect knife. I am looking forward to finding out.

I'd say those definately qualify as high end carry.

I didn't see anyone mention yet. If you do something to your Sebenza that you can't live with, you can send it in to CRK for a spa treatment. Bringing it back to Near new. :thumbup:

Only tangentially related: I inherited a Breitling Aerospace wristwatch. I wore it only occasionally. As I got used to the stopwatch and timer functions and came to appreciate how useful the rotating bezel is, I began to wear it more and more. Now, I train horses and teach riding professionally so I'm in environments and situations that could really damage this watch. I worried endlessly about treating this watch well. But then I saw a video of what Breitling can do to restore these watches, making them look brand new and I decided to wear this watch and enjoy it and get full use out of it.

I have a new (to me) Sebenza 21 (small) that is like new. I have a new Sebenza 21 (large) Glorious on the way to me. I am just wondering if those of you with higher end knives (let's say $300 on up) actually carry & use those knives. I plan on the small Sebenza being part of my edc knives but just can't see me doing that with the Sebenza Glorious. Kind of curious what others do.

Carry and enjoy it, part of what makes CRK's so great is that if you ever want it to look like new again just send it in for a spa treatment. Knives were meant to be used, and in my opinion only get better with age.

Closest thing to a Sebenza flipper Ive seen is a Gareth Bull Shamwari, maybe worth checking out. Congrats on that Southard Tolk, I've been curious to try one out!
 
I'd venture to guess the small 21 will do almost everything that you want it to do, a nice blade.
 
My EDC's start with CRK and go "up." I have happily carried large Sebbies and several Zaans, but recently I'm carrying a mid-tech that costs more than my Sebbies...they are in the safe.

It's not matter of price...I have to spend that much to get what I like...
 
I only purchased my first Sebenza late last year but with more usage, more handling and being able to appreciate the simplistic design and build I understand why they are a benchmark for production knives.
I've always been a user of my knives so I would say try it out for sure! You have two. Make one a user, save the other or use both but definitely put one into rotation so see what the Sebenza is about. After all the Sebenza is meant to "Work" :cool:
 
I use all of my sebenzas. They are the only folders I use( unless I'm in the woods). The sebenza is by far the best folding knife I've ever owned.
 
If they made a 5.5" sharpened length Sebenza, I might buy one.
 
Large Insingo every day I'm not in the office. Use it for everything including chopping tree branches when working in the yard in the weekends. I also touch it up a couple times a week, wash it with soap and hot water when needed, and love the wear marks on the titanium. With all the use the knife will still likely outlive me!
 
I have three kinds of knives:
1) Users/EDCs (90-95% of my collection)
2) Knives acquired for their aesthetic, collectible, and/or financial value. I don't use those.
3) A small cf Sebenza. It's been sitting on my desk, unused, mocking me for my indecisiveness, since I bought it ~2 years ago. The mistake I made was buying it because it's a Sebenza, and not because I deliberately planned to either use it, or freeze it in carbonite for future generations to enjoy. I've even thought of just giving it away here on Bladeforums, since I don't "need" it per se, (though that thought usually occurs when I'm less than sober.)
 
I've mostly carried a ZT 0562 lately, but my TiSpine gets pocket time and use as well.
 
You bought it - unless its some extremely limited collectors piece (and sometimes even then) you should carry it!

Now, I might not go work on my truck with my 0801cf, but I would carry it out and use it on the every day stuff.
