I have been without a small Sebenza for a couple months now, since it was stolen from my apartment along with other knives. I had gotten a large Sebenza since then but waited on getting a small because I had other knives in that size range and thought I didn't really need to replace it.
I really wasn't actively looking for small sebenza till the other day I came across an amazing deal on a NIB Small 21, $255 shipped, and as a coach I had always said to me "my momma raised ugly children, not stupid ones", so I jumped on that deal.
You know what, I really did miss the small Sebenza. I love my large but there is just something so handy and unobtrusive about the small, not to mention it is nice and light. The handle is just perfectly long enough for me to get a full four finger grip. The blade is just long enough for pretty much any cutting tasks I run into on a daily basis. The handle to blade ratio is great, the clip is small and keeps the knife deep enough into the pocket but not too deep. The lockup and action are the Sebenza standard: strong and smooth. I can't really think of anything more I want, except maybe a choil with some jimping.
The small sebenza is really just the best EDC for me as it has everything I want and nothing extra.
I took the lanyard off but left the lanyard holder in there for now. I like how they now anodize them blue. The only thing is that it rattles a little if I shake the knife so I may remove it or somehow tighten it up to elminate the rattle.
