change one thing about the Sebenza what would it be.
I would love to see the screw heads changed to torx.
The only trouble I have ever had with any of mine is the clip screw head stripping out,I guess because it is in very tight.The last time I had to adjust the clip the screw head stripped.I got it back in ok but there was no getting it back out.While I was at Blade I asked if thy had any and they said they would send me a few.Well forward til today,I thought well I might as well get it changed out so I took the screw out with a screw extractor,just realy ruins the screw and open the baggy.OH crap,they were scale screws.Anyway I guess she gets a break until I can give CRK a call.
I was just thinking that a torx head might hold up better.
 
I'd make the handle of the regular model more similar to that of the classic, getting rid of the contouring. And I'd make dual thumblugs standard.

Oh, wait, that's two things .... ;)
 
Like NathanS said; dual thumstuds standard. It can't "really" cost that much for them.
 
screw heads changed to torx.

That threw me for quite a while, you mean change the hex to torx. I stripped a clip screw once too, I could probably strip a torx equally as well.

I make an under 2.5 full thickness NICA blade shape sebenza.
 
Probably change the blade steel back to BG-42, I've heard many people say that it is easier to sharpen than S30V.
 
I would prefer the sebenza without the machining holes. I think those holes are not very aesthetic. I see other titanium framelocks without the machining hole so CRK should be able to do it too.
 
For me the knife is dam near perfect.

I wouldn't change the design at all but resize the line by making the Small Sebenza and Umfaaan slightly larger. Like 5% for the small and maybe 15% for the Umfaan.

Bg42 would be OK, M2 better or make the Sv30 a bit harder.

I don't see double thumb studs as a improvement as there are already offered and for most people one is enough.
 
get rid of imperial allan screws. I could deal with either torx or metric allan screws.
 
flat ground, D2 blade steel, thicker more rounded handle, metric Torx heads and cheaper so I don't have to keep selling them when I'm low on cash.
 
I would enlarge or strenghten the hole and/or the ceramic ball to make the sebie more secured once closed.
 
Tip-down clip option with double thumb studs. Makes for a truly ambidexterous knife when worn in the left pocket. Easy to access with either hand.
 
Another thought: I'd love a Sebenza with an opening hole instead of thumblugs. That would be the absolute best!
