I have an excellent condition Chris Reeve large regular Sebenza framelock that has been twice modified, first by Barry Haugen, then by Matt Cucchiara, for sale. Barry's mod consisted of smoothing out the action of the folder, modifying the serrations in the bottom of the frame handle, and cutting serrations in the top of the handle. Barry's mods really benefit the function of the knife, as they make the Sebenza grippier and smoother.
Matt's later mod is both cosmetic and functional, and it is very extensive. He radiused the handles and further modified the serrations on the bottom of the frame handle for a more comfortable grip. Matt also heat colored the titanium slabs a beautiful deep blue color and added his trademark Fizz in a bat wing pattern for extra grippiness. He handrubbed the flats of the blade and added a vertical satin finish to the grind. Last but certainly not least, Matt added one of his unique handcarved clips in Timascus, which really adds to the visual appeal of this knife.
I have carried and used this knife a few times since getting it back from the mods, but has never been resharpened and still has its sharp edge from Matt. The lock-up is rock-solid, the blade centering is near-perfect, and the action is very smooth.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Excellent
Blade length: 3 1/2" from tip to handle
Overall length: 8 1/4"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, vertical satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle material: Titanium, beadblasted, heat-colored blue, and Fizzed
Backspacer: Standoff, anodized blue
Clip: Timascus, hand-carved, polished, and heat-colored
For payment, I prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal and cash (at your own risk). If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I will only accept a personal check if I know you, and I reserve the right to wait for it to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades for custom folders. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than small (less than 5" blade) Hossoms or Russ Andrews at this point in time.
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
