I've been squirreling away money for a couple of months now(spare change jar + $5-$10 a day,small sales,etc) & I'm about 3/4 of the way there to picking this one up.
I decided on the Large Classic with the African Blackwood inlays.I really like the gold accents on this one.I wanted to get a Classic before they're impossible to find,since they're discontinued.

Damn this thing is beautiful.It'll probably be in my hands in less than a month,if all goes well.

Here's a stock photo.

You gotta be kidding me! I just ordered my first sebenza yesteday. African Blackwood. Only I ordered the 21 instead of Classic. Cheers!
 
Congrats on picking out your first Sebenza. Just hope you realize that it will not be your last.:)

Congratulations... nice choice. I'm starting to carry my Classics more now... used to carry just regulars, but the Classic is kinda growing on me.

I've got a small Desert Ironwood 21 inbound. It'll be my 9th Seb but my first wood inlay.
 
JTR, one of my Sigs gave birth to a bouncing large Classic with African blackwood a couple years ago.

Here's a proud father and son photo of the two of them together at the hospital. :D

RWS,That's a great pic:thumbup:

They really look like they're related:D



[on a side note]- Do you guys/gals think $4XX.00 (shipping included) is a good price for this one?

I think that is the normal cost of one, and with the gold accents it looks really nice.

Great choice too :thumbup:

I look forward to seeing "real" pics of it when it comes in.
 
JTR357, That is gorgeous. I just got my first seb, well second, but thats a whole different story. I myself like the Classic design like you much better. It just fits my hands perfectly. I hope you can get it soon.

I also wanted to say, good work on the saving thing. They are expensive, but you are going about it in a good way, saving slowly and not putting it on your credit card. It will just be that much sweeter when you get it.

another +1 on that!One of my goals of 2009 is to get out of debt completely.The good news is I'm almost there.I used to charge knives all the time.Not anymore,unless it's a sprint run/limited edition,that may be a good investment.
