Congrats and welcome to the club but wtch out b/c all your other knives will become obsolete and you will only want CRK from now on:D
 
Sunby,
Great looking knife. The only problem is you now have the perfect knife. I got a small Classic 2000 in 2005 and have really never felt the need to get another CRK. I can't imagine any other knife topping it. I quess that is a good thing.

How tough is it to open?

Just received mine, (one day older than yours) and it's kinda difficult. Not sure if I'm just putting to much pressure on the lockbar, but it's so small, there's not really anywhere else to hold

My is also stiff (due to a close tol.) but I guess it needs break-in.
I will keep on using it for few weeks and see.
You do need to ease up on the lock-bar area.

If you like Pelikan pens and small things, try the Souveran Ruby Red M 320. I have one and it's their smallest, and the smallest piston resevoir. Goes well with the small sebenza.

The smallest Pelikan FP that I own is M150 but M400/405 size is just the right size for me.

Its just a matter of learning how to put as little pressure on the lockbar as possible. when I got my first large 21 I literally could not open it one handed for the first week. Now I open it no problem but if I ever lend my sebenzas to someone to cut something, the often cannot open it one handed.

Also I carry a small regular for EDC. I think the small is one of the best sized knives possible for such a role.
 
Nice Seb, and nice M405. I love mine. And like brownshoe said, try an M320 as well. I love my orange one with B nib. :)

Thanks.
You must be a FPN member (I've recognized few FPN members on the BF).
My M405 was modified to stub by Pendleton Brown.
 
Sebenza's need to break in and the ceramic ball probably needs to polish out some of the blade material.

Nice first CRK knife man, I just got my used regular and I love it. I am glad I got it.
 
First congrats on your score, second if you haven't handled a large, I'd suggest you get one, I don't think they are too large.
