Hi folks,

Long-time BF forumite, first-time CRK owner. Almost all of the reviews I've seen (ie, binged watched while waiting for the knife to come in the mail) dedicate some time to address why the hell any sane person would spend >$400 on a pocket knife. I'm at a point in my knife carrying career where they're all preaching to the choir. The previous owner (great seller here on BF) decided to part ways with this very attractive variation because he couldn't bring himself to use it. I have to say, it's easy to see why. From what I can gather, the damascus on this variation makes it rare because it was an exclusive through one dealer, which is really nice. That combined with the gold and complete lack of the normal blue accents really does make it seem pretty special. The gold Millit Knives aftermarket pocket clip looks awesome too.

I guess you need a plain Sebenza as a user soon.

Oh I wanted to make sure I enjoyed this as it was meant to be enjoyed. The cardboard in this shoebox was much denser than I was expecting. I had to put some good effort into each cut. It was enough for some noticeable hotspots to develop:

The one scratch I could see in the aftermath:

And of course I had to get the edge back, so some freehand sharpening, a little bit of stropping and we're back to easily shaving again:

Thanks for sharing! I love all the beautiful knives but have special place in my heart for users. Glad to see it getting some work.
