Finally got a Senbenza!

[ronin.graves]

After more than a few years and a fairly modest collection, I finally listened to a lot of the community (ignoring some others) and picked up a Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21 with Insigno blade and black micarta inlays. I absolutely LOVE it!

Congrats.

 

[Therom]

Great!
Give it a couple of weeks for breaking in and it will be superb.

I have the same with red linen micarta and it is my favorite knife

Congrats ... it took me awhile to take the plunge ... but only a day or so after getting my first to see what all the fuss is about ... careful ... now they multiply!

The Insingo is a great choice too.

Congratulations, I picked up a CRK before I really understood what they were! Glad I did and happy you got one!

Sweet! My first Sebenza should be arriving next week. Small drop point with carbon fiber inlays. I'm pretty stoked. Would be here tomorrow if BHQ wasn't sitting on it for almost three days so far...

Congratulations on your first CRK.
It will serve you well, the Insingo is a well liked blade style in the CRK forum. Now that you’ve shown it off, it’s time to put it to work and give it some personality.

Had several reeve, fit and finish is top shelf they are the dress watch of the knife world.

By the way, just how black is the "black micarta" anyway? In your picture it definitely looks black but in most other pictures and videos it looks grey and sometimes green.

Congratulations-great pick. I love my Micarta inlay Sebenza's .

Great looking blade! Congratulations... Now you have the CRK bug.

 

[Kreyzhorse]

Wonderful knife. Enjoy it, probably won't be your last.

 

[Sonnydaze]

...plain old slab-sides model 21 for me... spider-trails are just fine...
Others, such as wood inlays, may be prettier, but I never carried one of those.

 

[Lapedog]

Couldn’t have made a better choice!

We all remember how it is to get your first CRK. You’re a man now.

 

[Hackenslash]

Congrats! The Sebenza is an awesome knife! Make certain to secure your wallet!

 

[Smaug]

Enjoy! I hope it's everything it's cracked up to be and that you're not afraid to use it.

 

[brando555]

Nice, that micarta looks great.

 

[palonej]

Congrats on a great choice!!
Do NOT be afraid to use that beauty!

Congrats. That my major knife purchase of 2019. I probably won't go for the inlays as I kinda dig the classic sterile titanium. I might go with the full old school blade shape. I've wanted one as long as I have been reasonably able to afford one. I'll be hitting an educational milestone that is a long time coming. I'm too old for a graduation party, so I'm treating myself to an earned reward.

Congrats. The best 21 version IMO.
