I've been looking to buy a Sebenza 21 for a few months now , I even sold a bunch of knives to fund this mission.
So this past weekend I went to a local gun and knife show.
After looking through table after table of junk and over priced production knives, I found a vendor who was selling Microtech's, some customs and CRK's.
He had one Seb , so I ask the guy if the Seb was new and how much. He tells me yes it's new and it's $365.00.
I see he has a Visa sign up so I say ok I'll take it, if you'll take my CC. He tells me he's going to charge me 3% if I use my card ( plus sales tax). I told him I'll take it if he knocks off the CC fee. He won't budge and neither will I, it's a pet peeve of mine. So he loses a sale for $11....
I thought about that knife the rest of the day and was even considering going back.
Later that night I see a listing on the forum for a brand new Seb 21 for $365.00. I waited until the next morning and saw it was still unsold.
I realized it must have be fate so I bought it and got it yesterday ... thanks Johnny!
Here's a quick picture I took.
I know this is going to sound weird , but compared to other titanium knives ( including my Umnumzaan) , does the type of beed blasting used on the Seb give it a warmer feeling in the hand? or maybe it just fits the hand better? I can't explain it.
