Just wanted to share this with all of you, since it is the only one of its kind (which makes it very special to me).

Just got this Large 21, Unique Graphic from my local knife shop today. As you can see from the birth date, it has been in their display case for a long time, and I have been drooling over it for just as long. All the stars aligned today, and I was able to pull the trigger.

One interesting thing is that the blade on this model is two tone. Stonewashed on the flats, and polished satin on the hollow grind. I think it is very attractive, but I had never noticed this before. Just makes the Unique even more unique. :)

I plan to carry and use this knife as my EDC. Not worried about messing it up, because I can always get a spa treatment.

This is my first foray into the world of Chris Reeve knives, let the madness begin. ;)











Thanks for looking at my post.
 
I think almost all of the unique graphics are prettty cool, but very few of them look like something I would carry (and I do not like to own any knives that I do not use/carry). THAT one looks like one I would like to carry. Very classy!

I think you selected a fantastic design for your first.
 
I have a couple of unique as well. That is a sharp looking knife. Congrats.

That is what drew me to this blade. Very subtle,yet classy unique graphic. Something a little more than the plane Sebenza, but not over-the-top. I really love this design.

I will be carrying and using this knife.:thumbup:
 
Very nice! I love the subtle design...nothing over the top but classy and unique. Keep it and use it!
 
Now that's my idea of a unique knife. I like something that looks classy but not lots of colors and that one is just right. Awesome find!

This is exactly what I am talking about. It would be very easy to overlook this knife at first glance. But I have been looking at this knife in the display case at my local knife shop for over a year, and wanting it more and more every time I saw it. Now that I have it, I am overjoyed.

Not only is it a knife of exemplary quality, but the fact that the subtle classy graphic makes it unique, and I know that there is no other knife on earth like this one, makes it extremely special to me.

This just multiplies my enjoyment of this knife, and I am going to enjoy carrying and using this literally for the rest of my life.

I have wanted a Sebenza for years. And the fact that this one is so subtly unique, just makes it something that I will cherish for a lifetime, and I can pass it down to my son.
 
Another bonus to this, is now that I am a bona fide member of the CRK community, I can have endless hours of enjoyment surfing this sub forum! :thumbup:
 
I love the Unique Graphics, yours is very nice! Congrats and welcome to the discussion :thumbup:
 
Congratulations on such an elegant looking Sebenza, just wish I knew where you live at, it would have been gobbled up already!!!!
It will serve you well.

Alabama.

My local area has one of the best knife shops I have ever seen!
 
I just want to say that I have been on BF for quite some time. More than two years. And this is the first sub forum which has made me feel so welcome.

Thank you all.
 
As I have played with, fondled, and enjoy this knife tonight, I just have to point out a small subtlety. The birth certificate says that it is "titanium in silver contrast". Well, the unique graphic is obviously in "silver contrast", however I have noticed that the titanium (at least according to my magnet) standoff, stop pin, thumb stud, and screws, are also in "silver contrast" as opposed to the standard anodized blue of a normal Sebenza.

How cool is that? Just another subtle touch... which I think adds a little uniqueness to the uniqueness.

GO CRK!
 
I realize I have not even owned this knife for 24 hours yet, however, the more I play with it and the more I experience it, all I can say is… WOW!…Just...WOW!

I own a lot of high-end production knives, but I have never said this about any other Knife (having not owned it for under a week to a month, let alone under 24 hours).The quality of the fit and finish, and just overall amazingness (is that even a word?) is killing me.
