Mayonized Sebbies. Who has one and...

wetdog1911 · Apr 24, 2004

How do you like it? I have a large Classic. It's my one and only folder and I carry it daily in addition to a fixed blade (Busse SHBA). Thw question is, in addition to drilling a bunch of holes in the frame, what else is done to a Mayonized Sebbie? I love the Sebbie, I'm just wondering if the ~$85 upgrade makes it that much better? I'd really like to hear from before and after owners. Like, how do you improve on something close to perfection? Thanks.

i think tom no longer does the upgrade

Upgrades are still being done. Here is the link to a similar thread I started in the CRK Forum: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=293656

Tom smoothes out the action a bit more, redoes the thumbstud, recoats the handles with something a little more scratch resistant, flame colors the handles, and puts the holes in.

I like what he has done to some of these posted!

I just had my Large Sebenza with a BG-42 polished blade, returned to me from CRK shop. I had them do everything to it to make it look like the day I bought it...new everything

Now I think that I'll part with it again to have the MAYO treatment.

Slicker & lighter plus being kinda unique?!!! Oh yeah it's a done deal!

Anyone know what the weight lose is after he does his majic?

------Just curious if it will really make "that" much of a difference or not.

Does anyone know what the turn around time is?

THANKS AGAIN!

Tom's email indicated a one to two week turnaround from the date of receipt.

Definately worth it. IMO the best thing to do is snag a used on off the forsale forum saving quite a bit of money, use that saved money and send it to Tom.

I do it. (Cheech and Chong voice for those old enough to remember) Just sold a case of 7.62 to a buddy, so now I know what the money (or part of it) will be used for. An E/M is on the way to Mr. Mayo. Thanks for all the replys.
