So I have been wanting a Large Mammoth Bark Sebenza for a while. I fell in love with this 2007 Annual Mammoth w/decorative spacer.
Thanks Chad for letting this beauty come home to me!
She just got a touch up on the Wicked Edge and now has a mirror edge[emoji41]. Still have some work to do with the Kangaroo leather but she is shining!!

Wow. Very nice! I can't believe you took a Wicked Edge to it though

I need a sharp Edge to cut with... she isn't going to be a safe queen! She is going to be a pocket queen[emoji41]

That is by far the nicest CR knive i have seen. Love the look of the bark, honestly i have never been a fan of this brand but this one knife may have swayed my thoughts. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the kind words. This is my 3rd Large Sebenza and by far my favorite. I just love the way the Sebenza feels in my hand. If you end up with one you won't regret it!

Stunning knife, I'm sure you'll get plenty of drool on it from everyone wanting to see and touch such a gorgeous piece.
I've often wondered if the annuals get used, and now I know. Don't think I could be that brave to actually use a mammoth annual.

What good is a knife if you don't use it[emoji2]

Just stunning, and bravo to putting a nice edge on it.

Congrats! I sold an annual because I could not bring my self to using it. It's great you are using a knife you love as it was designed.

You, sir, are a bada$$! I salute you! :thumbup:

A barky Annual is one of the more rare of the coveted annuals. Not gonna lie that is one of my all time favorite knives produced, a true masterpiece.

Haha... I understand that. I decided before I bought it that I would use it.

I think you just explained our hobby in knives there in a nutshell. It is not about which we think is better .. It is about "falling in love".. Just like when we fall for a woman. They come in many forms and all have some great qualities. But then there is the one you fall for and she is a keeper.

The rest are not properly designed and have inherent flaws you discover later and then ON to the next for the search. LOL! But the keepers are designed that even with any flaws , they just fit your hand.. the one knife that is your helper and you use. That is the keeper. That is the one you fall in love with and learn to live with the rest of your life.
