EDC Sebenzas with Graphics

[Vendetta]

I would like to see pictures of your used and abused Sebenzas that have graphics on them. I am fixing to get one, but am trying to decide how the graphics are going to look afte a year of EDC. Thanks in advance!

I just want to see pictures as to how well the graphics hold up to EDC wear and tear. If you got a picture handy post it up! Thanks

At the time i took this picture, it had been my EDC for ~8 years. It looks about the same after about 12 years of EDC.

The key to the anodized surfaces keeping their "color" is to have them somewhat recessed, such that rubbing on the colored surfaces is kept to a minimum. Large, flat anodized surfaces wear more as compared to smaller annodized surfaces or lines, that are in "troughs". On this particular design, CRK cut the seemingly large circles with a very small cutter, leaving very small troughs. Because of this, the circles have kept their "color" quite well. A buddy at work has a "Stars and Stripes", like what's shown below, that's seen some really hard use, both as an EDC, and his primary hunting knife. The graphics on his knife clean up really nicely and the color restores well, because the annodized surfaces are very well protected from abrasion.

Glad you like it. Years ago, I co-founded a local taiko group. Fun stuff -- we made our own drums, stands and auxiliary percussion instruments, and composed and choreographed some of our own music. I wanted a custom graphic that represented the dynamic nature of our playing. I drew on a piece of paper what I had in my mind, and Lisa took it from there. Needless to say, Lisa’s rendition is far superior to what I had in my mind’s eye.
