I had been planning on getting a Sebenza 25 for my first CRK but also had handled 21's before and knew I liked those as well. It's a long story but basically a collector I know had bought a lot from a gentleman who had gone out of business awhile back and had several new in box older Chris Reeve knives. I actually met him to buy a Spyderco that he had but then he showed me a Sebenza Classic he had left from the lot. I made the mistake of holding it and that was all it took. Anyway, here it is. Forgive any issues with the pics as I'm fairly new to posting pics here.

Congrats ! Thats a great looking Sebenza !

I love the Classic Sebenza's.
 
I really like it a lot. I've always been a fan of ironwood anyway...not as porous looking as some other woods and it is just pretty. My other knives are jealous. They are going to flat out hate me once I get the 25 too.
 
That is a fantastic looking piece. It's great how somethings just play out in life, well done!
 
Congratulations one your first CRK. It is a beauty, the ironwood is spectacular. I'm pretty sure you will be sharing more in the future
 
Thank you. It will be a light user...I have plenty of knives to rotate through for work. This will be weekend carry. I can't have a knife like this around and not use it some. As I initially stated, I had handled a few Sebenzas, and I when I held this one I knew I had to take it home. But the more I handle it, examine it, and admire it, the more I fall in love :) I know there are more in my future, I will just need to decide on the 25 or a zaan. For now though, I'm just gonna love on this one.

Sweet! Classics are still my favorite Sebenzas out of all the models.
 
Great knife for your first CRK. I hope you can use it and enjoy it....more than just fondle and admire it.

I bought a nib plain Jane large Classic about a month. It's become my favorite CRK and has some marks and scratches to prove it.

I've just fondled and admired it so far but I will use it. I just can't pay that much for a knife and have it sit. If it gets too banged up I can send it in, but I don't abuse my knives and I won't sweat a beauty mark here and there.
 
That's a gorgeous knife and will hold its beauty as a user. Great start and welcome to the clan.
