I'm just wondering if the concept of wearing out the action is largely theoretical or if it's really a factor over the long haul with these knives. My personal experience: I carried the same Sebenza for more than 10 years with no appreciable wear, other than cosmetic marks on the scales and a few scratches on the blade.

Has Anyone Ever Worn Out A Sebenza?

I’m sure more knowledgeable people could chime in, but with the way it’s built and materials used I don’t see it ever “wearing out.”
I have about three years on my Sebenza and it’s just getting broke in!

There have been a couple that have had the lockside replaced, but I don't know if they truly wore it out or it had a bad heat treat to the lockface. CRK took care of the problem.
I sent a Sebenza in for spa treatment and they determined it had a bad heat treat to the lockface, and re-treated it. They told me it would wear out prematurely if I didn't have the work done.
It's certainly not a common occurrence.

My bad, I apologize. But I have LITERALLY taken that exact photo of my umnum in a tree in my yard. I'll try to find it when I'm able.
It is a very lovely shot, and a great knife.
