I agree. I think I liked the newer/old ones that were flatter and would easily fit in a small usps flat rate box....lol. At least the sebenza looks comfy. To me, the best thing to date that CRK has included with the sebenza other than tool of course is the blue cloth. Can't thank them enough for that. Now that they are adding lube, that just takes it to another level. Thanks CRK.
 
hmm seeing the big picture I can't say I am a fan yet. Sure its nice to get the Lube and locktite but everything else looks well..a little flimsy...

Is the new tool a double allen wrench? one big end and one small? Probably not....I am just day dreaming hah

I'm still a fan of the 21 due to single fastener size and one screw blade removal. One wrench to rule them all! :0)
 
Boy, they really did start on the 17th. I just received my new Sebenza 25, birthdate June 12, 2013 and it had the old box :-)

Maybe the new box is the answer to all the threads stating how important the box is to us.
Yes it is and it's good to know we have a special box.

While the new box is OK; I will always remember opening the old box, seeing the knife all warped snug in the blue cloth. Taking it from the box, holding it with great excitement as I slowly unfolded the cloth and finally get the first look at the knife , man that was always special. Not sure opening the box flap and pulling out will molded styrofoam be the same...

No, not the same.
The old boxes are a hallmark of the Brand.
 
I'm sure in 20 years when CRK switches to then another new box, people will be longing for the days of these "new" ones. Ride the wave of change!! Lol!
 
Come on, we are supposed to act like that.
I mean we are nowhere near the average customer.
We are the keepers of the cult.

I just thought of something. Do these new boxes have the contents of it labeled on the outside. The old boxes had a label on the sides that told you want knife was packaged in that box. I am just curious. Most of us around here have more than one large or small sebenza or whatever. I who I'd rather not like to have to label the box with a sticky note myself in order to keep them straight!

To answer my own question the new boxes are labeled! haha Had myself nervous!

While I am still coming around to these I just thought of something today. This packaging system allow the birth card to lay flat and not bend! This was always a problem with the old boxes. While more solid, they needed to be a few mm wider so the birth card could lay flat. Anyway this is a huge plus for the new boxes.

Can someone please let me know how the box open. Is the flap on the small side (the name of knife side ) or the large side (large logo side)?
 
Oh wow, that's a big improvement, very sleek and compact, I like :)
Just in time too, saving up for an Umnumzaan, should be able to get it mid or late July, so I can't wait for that.
 
The box is nice and "clean".
Nice to have grease and loctite but I prefer the old one.
When I have to pick up a knife is a pain and when I want to put it in (and I am always in hurry) it is worse.

My 5 cents
 
Same sentiments as Falco57.
You need another box for shipment.
Ship that in a padded envelope and it will arrive flatten.
I prefer the old one.

I much prefer the old one. It was just right. Really held up well to storage as well. This new one will not. I tried to put the knife back in a time or two but it is just not going to hold up to that.
