So, I was looking at Nyefmaker's CRK Timeline sticky, and it raised a couple questions about the early sebenza generations. I read that the 'H' indicated handmade, but what does the 'P' stand for? Also, it looks like the P sebenzas and the Original sebenzas were made for pretty much the same time period. What was the difference between them?
 
Hi. . . I only know a few facts about the mentioned models, someone else will chime in with more thorough information.

"P" Stands for "Production." There are also "numbered P's" and "PP" models.

The "Original" Sebenza as compared to the "P" are very similar, except the "P" Seb's do not have pocket clips.
 
In order;
"H" handmade Sebenza, numbered
"PP" pre production Sebenza, numbered
"Pxxx" production Sebenza, numbered
"P" production Sebenza (they started adding the clip, as well as started offering the small. You can find Large and Small "P" knives with and without the clip.)
Sebenza knives without the "P"
"PP" pre-production of the new style Sebenza (commonly referred to as the Regular)
production version of the Regular (the first 200 made were numbered, be they large or small, plain or decorated)
Classic Sebenza (first 50 of both large and small numbered)
Sebenza 21
Sebenza 25 (first 25 numbered and decorated)

This post by itself should be stickied or put in the history sticky.
 
I agree it's like that video where one year (all 4 seasons) was condensed into 60 seconds.
