So I've been carrying a Sebenza in rotation with other knives for over a year now. The small 21 is the knife most carried. The Classic Micarta is carried as well, just not as often.
I just got a new camera and was playing with it. Still figuring out all the wonderful little settings. Thought I'd share.

They look great!
So you are a lefty?
Care to share why you prefer the plain 21 over the classic micarta?
 
I don't actually like the plain over the micarta. I know the micarta isn't considered a "fancy" sebenza...but it's the fancier of the two. Also, the plain was purchased before this micarta and already had more scratches. So it's the work knife.
I actually like the ergos of the micarta a little better.
Had I carried the micarta first and it had more use on it their rolls might be reversed.

Actually looking again at the pics, you really can't see all the scratches on the plain 21. Must be the lighting and the fact that it's a new camera I'm not used to. The handle slabs have quite a few wear marks.
 
I had a friend start to freak out when I was using my small Sebenza to make feather sticks a couple of weeks ago. I said, it's a work knife, I'm using it to do work. I mean if I don't use it, someone that probably won't appreciate it will use it after I pass on. I paid for it so I should be the one to use it. :)

And so you know, it wasn't any more harsh than the action you'd use a to sharpen a hot dog stick. He was just surprised I'd use a $300+ knife instead of one of my other knives. Well, for anything really.

Anything rough I used a fixed blade for.
