I was lucky enough to pick up this fairly early Large Sebenza 21 BNIB. It is in the older Square box wrapped in the white tissue paper (Pre-Blue Fiber cloth) I love the Plain Jane finish more than the inlays or CGG on these big boys!! Strange I know, but I am pretty sure I am not alone in this.. Card is dated February 2009 and the handles are marked B 08. Just thought I would share my good fortune. All the best, Dave
P.S. NOW I NEED AN EARLY Small 21 in the same condition..:)

I was also lucky enough to find this beautiful little Small Sebenza (Regular) it is also BNIB!! Nice little guy!! Although I prefer the plane finish on the Large Sebenza's for some reason I like the "Decorated" and CGG on the Small ones.. Strange.. notice that this one from 2004 has the more aggressive gimping which if I am not mistaken was only used that year for a short time. The handles are marked A 04. Kind of neat don't you think?

Nice small regular stars and stripes. I saw it listed, but it went for more than I wanted to pay. I have the large and I have always felt its the nicest flag pattern they have made to date. The new glorious is nice, but the original stars and stripes is my favorite. I am lucky enough to have the original original stars and stripes in a P sebenza. So that will have to do me.....lol. Again, Congrats on some really special sebenzas.
 
Thank You nyefmaker!! Coming from you it means a lot!! my meager collection pales in comparison to those like yours and the other long time CRK collectors and users here on BladeFourm. But I’m working on it..:)
All the best!! Dave

Dave--post a pic of your whole collection sir. It is likely getting VERY impressive judging by your multitude of acquisition posts!
 
Thanks Ruthless!! I have been working on putting set's in flicker.. I am not very good at pictures I’m afraid, but will try to put together several sets (Groups) this weekend if time allows. I was thinking a set of Large Sebenzas and one of the Small Sebenzas.. but then the Unmumzaans and Umfaans would feel left out.. I will try to get it done!! Thanks for your interest!!
All the best, Dave

True? If so, congratulations--you beat an UGLY monster. CRK's are way, WAY better for your health!
 
No, to be totally honest I have been very lucky and never used any form of illegal drugs. Thanks to wonderful Parents and the grace of God!
All the best,
Dave
