Here are a few photos of the H and P comparison.
Someone was asking me if the blade widths are the same on the two, but I cannot tell. Sometimes it seems as though the H has a thicker blade, but then I think it's an optical illusion due to the thicker scales.
At any rate, here are some photos I took of the two which rarely get out for daylight...poor, coveted, cutting deprived knives.

Thanks for posting, That H is quite a Bit Beefier, how does it feel in the hand compared to the P?

In my opinion it feels like Chris Reeve got it right when he decided to trim it up a bit for his production models. The "H" would have added extra weight that I'm glad is not there on the ones I carry.
 
Great reference, thanks for getting these side by side.

Do the 'P' scales appear similar in thickness to the Classic and 21?
 
Nice comparison shots Lisa!

What does the H Sebenza weigh in at?
 
Bumped for Colubrid, and everyone who has ever wondered about Ps and Hs. Some "thread necromancy", but worth it. What I find most interesting about the H's is the thicker slabs, and no locating hole (isn't that cool?). Guess when it's handmade you didn't need that feature. I'm sure it was very controversial when the hole was added, but the internet wasn't really a thing back then, so the flamers and haters had to steam in silence :D

Thanks (belated) to Lisantica for this thread. Hope it doesn't mind getting dug outta the grave.
 
Awesome! Thanks for showing some classic Sebbies! How about a "P" reissue? Just for kicks!
 
Interesting and educational all at once. Lisa, if you still have the knives it would be great to see some shots with the blades out.
 
2 beautiful pieces of CRK history. Lisa doesn't seem to come by much these days. She always had something interesting to show.
 
I thought Lisa was back until I read down a bit, lol.

I missed this the first go round, and had no idea the H was that much thicker, and a full ounce heavier than the P.
Didn't get to thank you then, but I thank you now for the great comparison pics, Lisa :thumbup:
 
The small wasn't introduced until 1993-so there are no H smalls, but there are P's
