New to Chris Reeve Knives. I finally came to the place where I realized I had all kinds of pretty good knives, but could only carry one (or three) at a time, and decided that I would consolidate some of them into a few really nice knives that I could carry and enjoy
So just as I started scoping out what kind of Sebenza I wanted to buy, a sweet little Classic shows up here on BF Exchange thread. And I wasn't ready ($$). So I pondered how I could work it out, and still a little sticker-shy I waited too long and it got snapped up. Of course then I really wanted it so I went ahead and called 'seconds' thinking it was a done deal, and sure enough, original bidder had already paid. So I figure, must not have been meant to be, but the more I looked at the pics and the set up and all, the more I was thinking what a good opportunity I had missed.
And then the original buyer did what so many knife folks seem to do - he thought about the other guy, sent me an email and offered the knife to me in case I really had my heart set on it. How outstanding is that?! Once I told him it would be my first, he really wanted me to have it, and so I come to own my first Sebenza in a very special way indeed.
And that is why I feel compelled to give props to fewpop, the man who stepped aside so I could have this knife. Truly an outstanding gentleman and a credit to this community. Thank you again, my friend. I won't soon forget the gesture.

BTW the knife is amazing! I'm hoping it will be a constant companion for many years to come and no, it definitely won't be my last - I'm bit.

), and it has been just as enjoyable to have assisted new owners with this knife as it has been to have un-boxed my own CRKs in the past.
