Hi Everyone,
Happy to say I bought myself my first Sebenza today. A Large 2010 LE Spalted Maple, Left handed. I am so impressed with this knife I can't even begin to tell you. It is just beautiful. Can barely put it down long enough to type this post!
Very similar situation here to so many others I have read, have been carrying BM's / Spyderco and few others for close to 20 years now it seems. Have had some very nice knives along the way from makers like William Henry and Emerson among others but not very many knives took the EDC crown for me other than my trusty decade old aluminum 940, until the somewhat recently when a CF Caly 3 began sharing pocket time.
Have been thinking about getting a Seb for a long time now, and found that a local dealer had this 2010 LE Lefty in stock and had to move fast so that no one bought it first! Had to sell a 940 TI and a William Henry to afford this but it was sooo worth it! I also want to mention that this large Sebenza is really not THAT much bigger than my 940 when closed and side by side and so far doesnt feel much bigger or heavier in my pocket. Yet open them up and the Sebbie just seems so much better suited for any tough job. A lot more steel comes out the Sebenza handle than the 940, much more than it looks like it would be when they are closed.
This is by for the finest knife I have ever owned, most likely the best I ever will. Though, I am already planning on my second one, probably a small, maybe plain maybe Micarta. Probably sooner than I should.....
Will try and get some pics up tomorrow.
Thanks!
Scott
