I Like The Sebenza Integral Lock Folding Knife

I love my sebbies and after dealing with CRK as a dealer for three years or do I don't think you will find better people to interact with... I like evryone else heard the talk and took the plunge - I have never regretted it!

James, since my knife has the two strips of wood on the front, leaving the secondary hole at the butt of the handle exposed, would Chris install a decorative stone in it? If so, at what cost?

shivey, I haven't seen such a thing done, your best bet is to contact CRK and ask, let us know what they say.

And Gary, I guess since you hit the big 50 anything in your pants is a classic, woody or not ;)
 
I love my sebenzas. For the reasons stated above and one more. In August of 2002, my grandfather, Ed Thornbrugh, passed away. He lived in Nampa Idaho. Just a few miles from Boise. This was almost exactly a year after my father, Ed Thornbrugh, passed away. I went down there for the funeral to help my brothers pack him to his final rest. I was near to being emotionally bankrupt as I have ever been. I wanted to escape for a bit and remembered CRK was in Boise. My wife and I went for an adventure and tried to find the shop. They were shut down for the day for a shop cleanup. Despite this, Anne Reeve showed us around a bit and made sure Chris Reeve said hello. During his busy day, he made a point to walk us through the shop and show us where the knives were made. Not only that, but he let us paw the Yarborough knife.
I don't think there is a way, in words, to express my gratitude for their kindness and courtesy and the break I was able to take from that difficult week.
I bought my first sebenza that day. Bought another, decorated one last week. Will likely buy more.
Don't know if this post makes much sense, but there it is.
 
Yeh, but what about that thumb stud and opening in your pocket thing?:yawn:

Sorry, just kidding. Owned one, handled many. The Sebenza is an excellent knife. Not perfect, just excellent.
 
The more I use it the more I like it. It outperforms any of the other knives in my collection by far.

I will say though that when I first received it I thought it was very plain looking and thought that it wasn't worth the money at all. I didn't even think the QC was anything special on first inspection.

It was only after a few uses that the Sebenza started to impress me and slowly I started noticing all these great things about it.

I think it's a great knife for me and when I get the chance again I'll certainly buy another.

Ed, that's a great story and a real testimonial to the character of the Reeves and their employees. An excellent example of the "pride of ownership" that many people talk about with respect to the Sebenza!

Thanks,

Matthew

Hey G2, don't feel too bad...it's like the old saying goes, "it's not the length, it's not the size..."

I have yet to fine "The Knife."

So. . .I have a sh!t load of knives that come close. Just happens that 8 or 9 of them are Sebenza's. :D

And I try real hard. . .daily. . .not to be a idiot, ignorant nor ranter/raver. :p
