Large or small Seb

Leaving the Mnandi or Umfaan out of the consideration :) . . .

Large for general EDC; small for suit 'n' tie, shorts / tanktop, or other lighter carry occasions.
 
I carry the small most of the time- it's way more sheeple friendly. I pulled out my large Sebbie the other day at the toy store to cut a tag off of something, so I could give it to my son. I wasn't thinking, I should have used my Case Peanut like I usually do. But the lady behind the counter froze up- her eyes wide, her jaw dropped- looking at me like I was a serial killer.

Seriously? I'm in a toy store- holding a baby, with my wife, cutting a tag off of a toy to give to my kid. With a fancy, $450 knife. How threatening is that? My wife bawled me out when we left. "Honey, you scared the pants off of that poor woman!" Bah.

Anyways, I carry the small Sebbie much more often. It's all the knife I usually need, and it seems to fit my hand a bit better. I really love that little knife, I plan on carrying it for a good long time. If I need something bigger, I always have a fixed blade in my bag.

I am having one minor problem with my small Sebbie though. The screw holding the clip down keeps backing out and loosening up. I've had to tighten it 4 or 5 times now- I've never had that happen on any of my other knives. I'm hesitant to really torque it down, and the paperwork that came with the knife says not to use Loc-tite. Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I use either a little clear Elmers school glue, or I use the white not-quite tape stuff, like you wrap it around screws and pipes and stuff to seal it up nice and tight. But that is just me.

I would send my Sebbie back to CRK and have them fix it.

My large Reg does this also.....I have to tighten it once a week......but I use the thing like I breathe air CONSTANTLY. I am amazed I haven't sharpened it down to a nub! So I figure the screw backing out is normal for as much exercise as it gets.:thumbup::thumbup:
 
If no one has said it..... get both!!! Really though, I do have both and end up using my large classic the most. They both ride so low in the pocket that they are not intimidating unless you whip it out in front of office-mates.
 
I have both in the Classic. I prefer the small. Use the large when camping or backpacking.

I have a chance to pick up a SM REGULAR, NIB. Been saving for a while now. Should I jump on it or just go with a LARGE CLASSIC? Reason I ask is due to the fact that I won't be able to buy the other one til mid summer or so and would like to get the version thats most widely carried. Plus it is a REG!
