Just received in a trade an excellent condition Large Classic Sebenza with African Blackwood inlays. I have wanted an inlay Large Sebenza for a while, but before was always interested in the Micarta inlaid knife. When I was offered the African Blackwood in a trade I was hesitant, but I am glad that I did now because it is amazing.
I was really taken back by how nice the wood looks and how the wood gave the knife such a great feel to it. It adds character that the Micarta does not. The gold thumstub and spacer look great in person and match the wood well to my surprise as I thought I would prefer blue like on my Small 21. It is a really well thought out and designed knife and it gives it a distinctly different feel and style from the Small 21 plain.
It really is an ultimate EDC as it carries so well, looks so good, and performs so well. Not sure what more is needed except it is a tad large for some people.
I like the Small Sebenza and Large Sebenza as an EDC combo as they both fulfill two different roles perfectly. The small plain 21 Sebenza is compact, slim, unassuming, and overall feels like a small knife along the lines of a SAK. The Large Sebenza with inlay is a big, comfortable, classy knife for using and showing. The Small is great for travel and other times you want a small knife, and the Large inlay for all other times.
I took these pictures at an odd angle so they look closer in size than they are and feel. The Small Sebenza is much smaller than the Large.
