My large 21 sebenza made in the day my daughter was born. Seems only right. A knife made on the day I became a Father is the knife I carry on Father's day.

Thanks, but no. I used sandpaper.Have you ScotchBrited that large 21, Bill? Looks nice.![]()
Thanks, but no. I used sandpaper.
Starting at 800, I worked my way up to 2200, then polished the edges.
It scratches easily, with how soft Ti is. But it is still a bit dressed up over a standard 21, nothing brash or ostentatious, but enough to notice if you have seen a standard 21. I do have to say that I was surprised that it was noticeably slicker in hand once done. But that's acceptable since it is basically delegated to dinners, holidays, and functions now.
The date on it makes it too significant to chance losing.
Glad to see your on the mend.
Best wishes.
Nice AFCK, Icky. I've got the same one and it's a particular favorite. I should definitely carry mine more!
