Decided to join the club with the KnifeArt exclusive. Small Seb CF Insingo. It is incredibly light and disappears in the pocket.

My only complaint is the lanyard pin rattle without the lanyard. I'm unsure as to why it isn't precisely fit like everything else.

Welcome to "the club"! Nice choice for your entry point, too. Less weight tends to get more carry time and they are fun to show & tell to friends & family as you detail the precision and low void carbon fiber frame.

I thought lanyard pins on the smalls were not captivated with a step size like the large. Maybe the Carbon Fiber uses a different pin? Users that don't want the lanyard but do want the pin installed usually burn a small piece of paracord leaving just the nubs to hold the pin between the scales.

Enjoy it!
 
The rattle doesn't really bother me, but one alternative is to remove the pin. Pretty sure I have seen methods to stop the rattle. Someone will likely come along with that answer or you can search.
Congratulations on your new knife
 
Now that's starting things off right... I'm jealous! ;) Very nice! :)
Can't wait to see pics of your other Sebenzas, Inkosi, Umnumzaan etc. :D

Welcome to the club. You can leave your wallet with me.

Since leaving the lanyard pin in temporarily connected to one side makes no difference in disassembly you could try this.

One you could try pulling the lanyard lin out and wrapping the narrower part that goes into the titanium lockside in that plumbers tape a few times until it is snug. The tape they use to prevent leaks from pipe joins.


This stuff.

Just cut a length wise strip of it long enough to wrap the titanium lock side pin.

That's not a bad idea. Thanks for the info.

I'm rocking the lanyard now though. Lanyard is awesome on large/small 21. Without lanyard its cool how small is a size of a lighter and how tough it is. Enjoy

Lone Wolf, have a question about the bottom middle knife that has the Chris Reeve logo on the same side as the belt clip. That is the only one like that I remember seeing. What model is it?

That's an older one that didn't come with a clip from the factory, so someone put that on it.
