Hey I have for the longest time been wanting to buy a large Sebenza 21, however for the longest time I have felt CRK to have conspired against me, plotted patterns, and predicted my economical life and mentality and priced their knives just to the point I can't afford them.
After watching The Exquisite Blade (still got like 1 hour left I believe, maybe more), I found their manufacturing to be what I am fond of. Efficient, precise, well planned. The use of dies, fixtures, and more all add to the precision, planning elements of the manufacturing process. From their R&D to their machining, to their hand grinding all of is inspiring.
I strive to make products at the same level as CRK (still not there yet, but I am working on it). Just the thought of wasted effort makes me shudder. I want to be able to give 100% input and receive 99.9% output. My general dream in life is to invent a perfectly efficient system, even if that means taking it to extreme conditions like near absolutely zero (allows for 100% electrical efficiency with some materials).
I work as a computer technician at our family owned business, on my spare time I work on custom built PC's and I am happy to say that of all the pc's I have built non have failed to date (apart from a few DoA parts). None have had issues, or gave clients issues. I do this by going above what most people do: I plan them from cases, to airflow, to dimensions for components/capabilities/motherboard chipset limitations, etc. I don't stop there neither once build, I do research on air flow using my hands, and do temperature readings using various probes, as well as humidity samples produced by the radiators if any. I make sure the power supply gives readings with no less then 2% tolerances across rails (12v, 5v, 3.3v) under idle, and full 100% load. When I mod a case I prefer going with a hands on approach, so there are differences in tolerances. fan holes are done by rough cutting a circle with dremel, then hand filing the holes, grills are filed for smoothness if they don't come as such from factory.
Bah, sorry didn't mean to go off subject.
I have been wanting to get a Sebenza for a while and figured I'd get my hands on one as I am selling some of my sword collection, I was wondering what a good place would be to get a plain large Sebenza with a layaway plan?
