How old is my "new" sm sebenza?

[pauljgallant]

I just received a small sebenza from a cousin who heard I am "into knives". It came in the white box with a blue sticker - 1984-1994 10 years of Excellence Chris Reeves Knives. The knive has the CR logo followed by a P, there is no pocket clip or holes for one. There is a black lanyard, and the thumb stud has had most of the blue worn off of it. It came with a ballistic nylon sheath with snap and CR logo ( white in a grey circle). The paperwork in the box has the Corporal Lane Adddress and a short note saying it is with regret that we need to advise that our knives are no longer serial numbered - January 1993. My cousin said that it was made by CR himself(?) (he could be pulling my leg) there is no birth certificate. So, Does anyone have any info on this knife - ie. it's worth, etc. It's in great condition with the exception that the lock up is pretty tight (hard to unlock), and a small scratch on the blade. He told me I could send it back to get it fixed if I wanted. Any feedback can be emailed to me at pauljgallant@earthlink.net or posted here. Thanks in Advance,
PJG

Paul, that was a gallant thing for your cousin to do. You just received a small treasure. But rather than smear my small understanding all over this post, I will direct you to the valiant hordes of Sebenzanistas resident at the Chris Reeve Knives Forum, who should be able to answer your questions in detail.

(By the way, if you look down at the bottom of the page, you will see a button marked Subscribe to this Thread. Click on it, and when someone replies to a thread you've subscribed to, you get an e-mail telling you so, with a link to take you there.)
