Just received by 1st Sebenza. Got a Small 21 CGG "Straight Ahead" design. If you have not purchased from Knifeart.com, I highly recommend them. I ordered on Friday with standard shipping. It was shipped same day, and I received today (Monday).

Not much to say about the Sebenza that has not already been said on this forum. The knife is perfect. In a recent thread, someone said the Sebenza they received was dull. Either I am lucky or he was not, because mine came extremely sharp. It is probably equal to or sharper than any other knife I have ever had.

The small sebenza turned out to be a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be, but since I plan to have it for office use, it should be fine. I was trying to decided between the Mnandi or Small Sebenza. I am glad I got the Sebenza because I think the Mnandi would have been too small for my uses.

Congrats on the new knife!

In all fairness though, there is very little
in the office a small seb could do that a
Mnandi could not.

That is the first GOOD picture I have seen of the "straight ahead", makes me wanna go out and get one :D I took some pics earlier comparing my small dog paws to my camel thorne mnandi ( my 2 newest folders ) and I saw you mentioned deciding between the 21 and the mnandi, so here are the pics for you to see. I really like the small sebbie, though I prefer the regular over the 21. I love the mnandi, its an awsome little knife. To me, they are similar, only the mnandi is more streamlined. Many times I carry a mnandi and a large sebenza, that I am covered for all tasks. You did good with your 21...Welcome to the CRK Family !!!

Congrats on the new Sebenza. I hope you love it, as much as I have loved all of mine.

As you can see from nyefmaker's photos, the Mnandi is not that much smaller than the small Sebbie. It does have a thinner blade and handles, but it is still a well built knife. I really like the way the Mnandi carries when going out for the an evening. People seem to not take notice when I use the Mnandi, but they will notice the larger blade of the small Sebenza.
 
You gone done, real good.:p
Mine should be here in a day or two...
