Left handed Umfaans? Do they offer these?

[Gary W. Graley]

I met a fellow at the Lewisburg show that was interested in my Umfaan, but really wanted a left handed version, wasn't sure if Chris Reeve offers the Umfaan in a left handed version, if so let me know so I can relay the info to him. He did end up buying the Umfaan sheath I was wearing, but I wouldn't part with the knife!

Gary, they sure do. He might have to order direct, but it will be worth the wait!

R Gray ordered one recently, I think, so he might have an idea on how long the back-order is.

Of course, he will need one of your sheathes for it when it arrives

Hi Gary, I got your e-mail on the sheaths and a belt and will let you know what I want. I see you will need my Left Handed Sebenzas for the sheaths.
James, one step ahead of you; I'm already talking to Gary.

I am getting the Umfaan as a dress pocket knife when a sheath would not be appopriate.
I order a Left Handed Umfaan and was told it would be about 2 months.
I placed an order for a plain Umfaan to match my small and large plain Sebenzas (for the matching Zulu Trio), but I was told I could change it once I saw the new 2000 model Umfaan if I wanted.

Yep, sorry to have to borrow them but I can't buy rights and lefts without my wife raising both eyebrows!
And the difference maybe such that the sheaths wouldn't work well and thats not acceptable, but I'll not hold them long, and as I said in the email, maybe do one at a time so you're not without?

RGray, sounds like you have things well in hand. I also carry my Umfaan as a pocket knife, but when Gary sent me one of the sheathes he makes for them over the holidays it quickly got me converted. I still drop the knife in my pocket most days, but I have found that I can use the sheath when doing a corporate or more dressy job when you might not want to carry even the small Sebenza. It is much quicker than digging into a pocket, and nary a raised eyebrow from the squares

James, I have not handled an Umfaan yet so I don't have a feel for it's size as a sheath knife.
I want to send my small and large Sebenzas back to CRK for dual thumb studs, polished screws (reversed), clip inserts and my name put on them. I think it will make a good set.
Most of what I have learned about Sebenzas has come from you. Thanks
