Today I received my first Sebenza. A large plain left hander.
Amazing!!!
After reading all about how great the knife was, I had to have one. All of you were correct. It is a joy to behold. A simple yet magnificent piece. The only problem is now I need to find a way to raise the money for my next Sebenza, prehaps a small decorated model.
A special Thanks to Cecil Self of Arrow-Dynamics, for finding me the left hander.
It is too new to take apart. But I have some questions about the screws that hold it together. I've read all about not tightening them too much. Does anyone know how they are designed? Once taken apart and put back together does the pivot screw only tighten so far? I know on some of my Spydercos and Benchmades it is possible to tighten to the point that the blade won't move, or so loose that there is play in the blade. Has anyone had problems with the screws backing out? Other knives I have need to be checked weekly because screws back out. I understand Locktight is not recommended. Does Chris Reeve put anything on them at the shop to keep them in place?
Sorry for rambling on, I'm just so thrilled with my new knife that I can't stop talking about it. My wife on the other hand has heard enough. She doesn't like the titanium handles. Said it makes the hair on the back of her neck stand up. I think that's just her reaction to the price tag!!
Thanks for listening.......
