I have heard a little about it, but there aren't many details about it out there. Does anyone care to school me on it? I like CRK history lessons! Oh, if you have one--post some pics!

Never heard of a full flat ground sebenza. But there was a flat ground sebenza on the exchange a while ago.

The knife in the picture is a flat ground Sebenza. The description "flat" or "hollow" grind refers to the part of the blade where material is removed, reducing the thickness from the back edge to the cutting edge. Whether that starts right at the back edge or further down the blade makes no difference to what kind of grind it is. The picture below shows the difference between flat and hollow ground Sebenza blades.

There are pros and cons to both types of grinds. We made around 160 large Sebenzas from BG42 - Chris has signed the blades of all of them to increase the collector value. We stopped making them because we could not get consistency in the accuracy we required. We don't have (nor have we ever had!) flat ground Damascus blades.
