After several weeks of lurking on this board and, particularly, this forum, I just wanted to say, "Hello and thanks". I have found the people here to be both very friendly and a wealth of knowledge, and I wanted to express my gratitude. I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about knives; however, I have found how much I truly need to learn.
To insure my post in on topic, my EDC is a plain small Sebenza carried in a cordura belt sheath. That should change in a week or so when I receive my classic large Sebenza with blue leather inlays. My intent was to get a plain large; however, the leather inlay was just a bit more money and looks interesting. The great stories about everyone's experience with Chris Reeve Knives made my purchase decision much easier than it otherwise would have been.
The bad news is the burl wood inlays are really calling my name, especially the burled maple. Since I primarily use my knives as tools, I am finding it very difficult to justify the purchase of a burl maple. But it looks so good!!! It is only a matter of time now; I am hooked.
Thanks again to everyone here.

I agree that it is not much more money over the plain jane model to upgrade to the wood and/or leather inlaid Classics. A real bargin in my book!
