If the price is the same, Which would you recommend of these large Sebez?

I'd say the top. The top is a liimited edition, which is somewhat more rare.
 
I vote limited edition.

I've always thought the one piece inlay looks so much nicer than the two piece.

That and the better ergos on the stadard make this a no brainer for me.
 
I'd vote for the top one, no doubt about it.

It's only major problem is that it's not left handed .... ;)
 
Hello

I have both styles of Sebenza and can tell you that is a rather difficult decision :(

Both have equal merits. Quality will be the same on both ~ superb. The Limited Edition ebony is indeed the rarer of the two but the gold inlaid ebony is also quite difficult to find elsewhere, too.

I think that the Classic is a better looking knife :) From a user point of view that really doesn't matter. Indeed, some people have said that the full wood inlay on the Regular is a better fit in the hand. I cannot really argue for or against that, because I have only carried the woodies a couple of times, and have never used them :rolleyes:

But, to answer the question point blank, I'd go with the Classic :D

You'll like either, anyway :cool:

I've always wished for a regular blade on the classic handle. The classics handle ergonomics are better in hand than the regular. The regular blade has a wider profile(more utilitarian).

So to answer your question, I guess it depends on what you want it for? I'm a classic man when it comes to EDC. In this scenerio I'd go with the Classic; the gold does this wood justice IMO. ;)
 
I generally tend to like the looks of the limited edition inlays myself, but I think I would go for the Classic in this case. The reason is that I tend to prefer woods that have more figuring and character on the one-piece inlays, and woods that have a more subdued appearance on the two-piece inlays. With the knife in the top picture, you're not getting a wood that really takes advantage of the larger surface area presented by the one-piece inlay.

Of course, either way you won't be disappointed :)

Good luck!

Limited edition - I have had both and the ergonomics are better in the ltd, IMO.
