I picked both of these up on the forum recently. I had always wanted to try carrying a Sebenza. I bought the knife and carried it a couple days. I then bought the scale & insert in another thread and carried the knife with them for a couple days. While I like the knife & scale, I've found that I'm too accustomed to an Axis lock to make this one my EDC. While the carbon fiber scale & clip insert have been carried very little, the knife has been used substantially. While still perfectly functional, there are a couple important things to note:
The blade has been heavily sharpened. My understanding is a previous owner did something to it that required it to be sent back to the spa for a new edge. To get the proper edge back took a good bit of steel, so the blade is notably shorter than a new one would be. Personally, for a carry knife I did not find the difference to be a problem, but I don't want there to be any doubt about the condition of the blade.
Secondly, the titanium scales show quite a bit of scuffing, etc. They are most noticeable on the end of the slabs by the pivot, as can be seen in the pictures.
Again, this is a user. For my purposes, the problems were cosmetic, as the knife functions as it should. If you're looking for a perfect example of an Insingo blade profile, than the problem is more than cosmetic. Having said all that, I still think this will make someone a heck of an EDC. I'd like to sell the knife and extra scale & insert together, but I'm willing to split them up, too. This one does come in the original box with the birth certificate, papers, cloth, wrench, lanyard, etc., as can be seen in the pictures. I'm asking $200 *SOLD* for the knife and $135 $125 $115 for the scale and insert, all of which includes insured priority shipping in the US and any paypal fees. If you don't want to use paypal, USPS money orders are fine. I'm also happy to ship internationally, but we'll have to discuss the details and cost beforehand. I'm also open to trades, full or partial, for plain edge manual folders. Now for some pictures:

Thanks for looking. Please let me know if you have any questions.
