Good morning:

After a good deal of research online and speaking with aficionados, I came across the Chris Reeve Sebenza Sea grass. I had been directed by those with more knowledge than I to watch the excellent shop tour (parts 1 and 2) on Blade HQ. I really appreciate that sort of behind the scenes info. Getting so much technical information directly from the head of the company himself is rare. I aim for perfection as best as I can in all I do, so watching Reeve walk the camera through an in-depth tour of his manufacturing process and his philosophy of thinking carefully about everything in life before doing was impressive.

After browsing through some authorized dealer sites, I hit the Seagrass and was unable to consider any other CR knife. I went with the large, given the fact that it's just that ounce and a half heavier and a bit longer. Sometimes small is better for discreet pocket carry, but I have large hands, so I really wanted to think ahead 20 years down the road and in doing so, went with the large Sebenza.

I'll post pictures once it arrives; I don't want to post other people's pix without their permission. The knife can be seen on various sites of authorized dealers.

I'll be happy to do an initial review once it arrives.

Best,

Chris

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Chris Reeve Knives!! You won't regret it!! Although your accountant may.. :)
 
Yep......the more I read through this forum, the more I realize my account's going to develop a drinking problem.......:D

It's very heartening to see the passion and loyalty that members of this forum show for CRK. Clearly that sort of following doesn't develop from an inferior product. I'm very anxious to get my hands on this piece.

Best,

CRK creates a 'happy place' for perfectionists, so you can look at your knife purchases as inexpensive therapy.:D:D
 
Very cool choice Sierra 18! I love the ocean so when I gaze upon that knife I not only see a beautiful knife, but a small window of justifiable opportunity twinkling back at me.

I like how you think! When I saw this design, it really reminded me of a local river I fish in. I often anchor at a spot where the underwater weeds undulate gently in the current. The movement of the weeds on a peaceful sunny summer day reminded me very much of this design. The color worked into it was an added bonus for me.

I very much look forward to the arrival of this one.

Actually, I contacted the on line vendor, Oso Grande Knives and was advised that they no longer stock this knife and have cancelled my order. Subsequent searches here reveal that Oso Grande could be hit and miss in the availabilty department, so I'm going to order something Chris Reeve from www.wondersandwarriors.com here in Canada. I have read better reviews of wonders and warriors.....

I have dealt with both. They are both legit and good service. My last TNK experience was very good, with a load of decent swag included with my knife.
 
Sounds good; I see my new CR is incoming on the Canada Post tracking system. I went in a slightly different direction than the Seagrass, but it's still a Sebenza. Very much looking forward to its arrival.

They have some real beauties at warriors and wonders, what did you choose? Or did you buy TNK?
 
My last CRK came from TNK, Neil is a great guy to deal with. Let us know what you get.
 
I went with a CR unique from W&W. I'll give TNK a try for my next purchase, its just they didn't have the same selection as W&W. I'll post pix once it arrives.
