I have to bore you with the story first but I'll keep it short. I acquired a base Sebenza in a trade (frankly they really look like grey turds), so I sent it up to Chris Reeve's for some desperately needed cosmetics.

When they asked what I wanted to do, all I could come up with was a "concept", not an actual design. The concept was my airplane flying above the clouds or mountains with the sun shining it's rays in splendor. Here's their interpretation:

What do you think of this one of a kind? (note: The sun is an actual Citrine stone)

How can I carry this? There's just NO WAY -- but I want to so badly!

Finally, thanks to all the folks at CR for turning my ugly duckling into a princess!

Well ya' know ifin' ya' don't want to be tempted-send it to me and I'll keep it safe for you... That is pretty awesome- is it not wonderful what an artist can do if they are not held to a "blueprint" !

BarnZ,

Anne requested that term not be used and I think it is in bad taste that you use it.

BarnZ,
That is a beautiful job CRK did on your handle!

My only question is: Is that the original handle slab, that has been "cut and colored", or did you have to buy a new one to get it colored?

I seem to remember reading that CRK couldn't/wouldn't add "color" to old handles. I thought that old/used handle slabs were limited to "silver on gray" graphics....

Let us know! Thanks,

Michael

I just sent my plain Sebenza in for an upgrade. CRK will not anodize a plain panel, but they will replace it with one that has been anodized. Or you can get the "silver contrast" graphics for somewhat less.

I was afraid that I'd have to sell my plain and try to buy one that was decorated. This is less less expensive and a lot less trouble. I can't wait to see it!

Michael, I won't repeat BarnZ's description of a base Sebenza.

I never liked that term either.

Uh, HELLO!!!! What ever happened to free speech. Reeves Knives are NOT a religion. If someone thinks a base Sebbie looks like an "ugly duckling" WHO CARES? It's not your opinion. (there, I said it, am I going to get fried too, sheesh.)

BTW I do have one of the U.D.s on the way.

Oops, sorry, I got the whole thing wrong, I thought you guys were talking about "ugly duckling" the word in question is "turds".
This really makes no sense anyway. It is very mean thing to say. After all, you wouldn't want to put a turd in your pocket, would you? You wouldn't pay $200 for a "turd" would you? It brown, it's squishy, it smells like, well, like turds. Yucky things really. So, I'm sure you can now all see that a Sebenza is completely unlike a turd, which is brown, and doesn't fold anyway. So calling a Sebbie a Gray turd makes no sense because it isn't gray. And it is never chunky, and you can't wipe it away with toilet paper. And you definatly can't cut anything with it, except the cheese, of course.

Oh, that's too bad. I guess I'll just be nicer so I can go to heaven and keep my Sebenza. I hear that in Limbo all you can get are Magnums and Smith and Wesson. Better that the Pakistanians they get in heck, though.
