I just sold mine like new Blackwood Sebenza today.
It was a knife that I rarely took out to look at it. Always feel it is so precious, too good to be use. For time to time, the sebenza just sit on my table...I slowly feel it is a bit wasting my money and its ability, and decide to sell it and use the money on a better lens that i need for work.
The knife is sold, at high price (better than i imagin). As I try to pack it for shipping, I took it out for the last look. I cauciously take it out, wipe with my lens cloth to remove my trace of finger print. Its been a long time since I held it so close in my hand. Fingers wrap the knife in such comfort that I can't describe. I closely exame the knife, the belly, the handle the thumb stud, the blackwood...it presented its supirior nature, and see a gloden glow around it. As if the Sebenza is telling me that I made a wrong decision selling it.
I do regret about my decision. Regret that I never able to free myself to use it, i was only treating it as a jewel. I have sold many knives, a lot them just come and go, its really the first time that i have such a feeling about this one. Can't really describe why it is special than other. I did not know, until the last moment.
I don't know why I write....I just want to let my feeling out, a strange feeling. A post that dedicate to a knife was wasted by its owner.
I was never a Sebenza lover, always critic it being too expansive. Now, i guess i am changing my point of view on it.
Wish next owner wont do the same to it. It is a strange feeling over a knife.
p.s. Regular Sebenza is still too expansive in my point of view!! which i sold with no regret....the finish on inlay version from handle, the logo, everyting ,truely in a different class. well, that is my opinion.
