After many phone calls to Wilson Combat, and I do mean MANY, I finally got the whole large starbenza mess straightened out. They had received a batch of em last week, and told those who were getting one out of this batch that they had shipped, yet they couldn't provide any of us with tracking information. So after five straight days of calling them, I was finally able to contact someone who actually looked into it for me. Turns out there was a "glitch" in the system, that had marked them all as shipped, and the inventory as zero, when in fact they had not shipped, and there were 17 sitting on a shelf in some back room. I was so happy to finally figure out what was going on, so I got mine upgraded to next day shipping. This was yesterday, and now I have the following, for your viewing pleasure. And to answer your questions, yes, it is awesome!

The large star-benza looks great, thanks for sharing the pics and running down the 'glitch' in the system. I can't imagine 17 large star-benza's sitting on a shelf, just waiting to be shipped. Here's hoping mine is in-bound! :thumbup:
 
Congrats! That is a nice looking design.

This has prompted me to contact Wilson for a status on my order.
 
Hey Brad,

Nice knives. How did you get the Large Starbenza with double lugs? I didn't know Wilson Combat offered double lugs.

I'm sure this has been covered but what is the difference in a Wilson Combat sebenza as opposed to say a large 21 aside from the scales? If there's a link I'd appreciate it. I'm curious as I'm planning to pick up a new large soon. Thanks. Oh and BTW it looks great :thumbup:
 
Nice one BigBrad, congrats and thanks for posting the pics. I am interested to hear as well on the double-lug situation. I'm sure I was too late for this last run, but hoping mine has them as well.
 
Yeah what's up with the double lugs?. Glad you got yours. My tracking number showing Friday.
 
If it wasn't for me and a very helpful Wilson Combat employee named Jason, all seventeen of em would still be sitting on the back shelf, without anyone even knowing about them. So everyone who received a tracking number today or yesterday, you can thank me ;)
As far as the double lugs, they were a surprise to me! I'm not 100% sure but I think maybe it's standard now on the wilsons? Because the small StarBenza I have was from this last run of em, and it also mysteriously came sporting double lugs straight from Wilson. The cards and boxes are marked as such as well, so I assume it's the new standard ( WC editions )?

It's one awesome Sebenza, I've owned several, and none of them have came this nice straight out of the box. Most all of them have required a "break in period", where as this one feels perfect straight out of the box! They really hit a home run with this one! I'm a HUGE fan of the double silver lugs as well, so it don't get any better than this!!!
 
Thank you, BigBrad75. Mine shipped today. I pre-ordered it on June 25th.

If they all indeed come with double thumb lugs, then it is a huge bonus, because it is usually a $35 upcharge.
 
Got mine today too. Great knife and the double silver lugs were a surprise to me as well.
 
I was planning/expecting to send mine back to CRK for double thumb lugs, so it is nice to know that I probably won't need to do so. :thumbup:
 
They re out of the Large stars, so i grabbed a StarTac Umnumm! Always wanted an Um anyway! What the hell? I ll grab a large sebbie when they become available again!
 
I recently saw a small, it had double lugs and was marked as such. I didn't see the papers on it so I don't know when it was made.

Really nice knife!

Click to expand...

I also had full intentions of sending mine in for the double lug treatment, so you can imagine my excitement upon opening the box and seeing the double lugs immediately. It was a great surprise.

I had been carrying my small double lug s35vn starbenza for the last week or so, because I was so excited about receiving the large finally. To my surprise, when I finally did receive the large, I couldn't believe how large it felt in my hand. I've always preferred a large sebenza over a small, and as hard as it is for me to believe, I'm actually questioning which one I like better these last few days...
 
hey guys, can you share how much the starbenzas and startac umnumzaans cost? are they only available from WC?
