large manix v large classic seb size comparison

[bammann45]

I am pretty new to collecting. My favorite acquisition so far is my large manix which I bought based on forum reviews (damn these forums!). I carry it/use it everyday. Anyways, I am thinking of saving up and getting a large classic sebenza...

How does the sebenza compare in size to the manix? I checked out the specs -- Seb is ~2 oz lighter, blade is almost as long, thinner and opened they are about the same total length. Is the handle comfortable, like the manix, for large hands? Anyone have both and care to comment? I am assuming the Seb has the same bank vault feel that I enjoy so much in the manix.

Hmm. Clearly I am not the first person to have this question.
Wish search worked regularly for me. I am sure you've probably all seen this, if not, has some good comparison pics.

How does the sebenza compare in size to the manix?

The large Sebenza is much thinner in the hand, and takes up less space in the pocket. I'm being very general here, but the Sebenza is more akin to a BM 710 if you are familiar with that one. Don't take the comparison to the BM 710 too far, but you get the idea.

Here is a review of the Manix

The Manix is an awesome knife. I own both a Manix and Sebenza... The only time I choose the Sebenza over the Manix is when the bulk of the Manix would be a problem. Other than that it goes everywhere I go. And for the money... you can't beat it.

Thanks for the comments. My finger is twitching to click "add to cart"... must let my last purchase settle for a little while. I can't wait to get one though.

So, which one are you getting? The Manix or the Sebenza? Get the Sebbie!

Oh -- I already have the Manix -- was looking for comparisons to the Sebenza as I really like the Manix Sebenza is definitely next -- just need to let last purchase settle for awhile... I got some Xmas gfit money that was slated towards a firearm purchase, but lately my gun funds have been slowly siphoning off towards knife purchases -- not sure when that happened.
