I had purchased my first Chris Revve Knife about a year and a half ago, and that was the Umnumzaan, I was and still am very impressed with the knife, but I was not enamored with it.
About 2 weeks ago I purchased my first Sebenza (I don't know why I waited so long) it was a large 21, Plain with a blue anodized double thumb lug, and I have fallen in love with the design.
In the last 2 weeks I have ordered three more large Sebenzas, and this is the first to arrive (Pics to follow as they come in).

This one is a Large Regular, Lisa's Pick from Feb, 2008, Unique Graphic (CRK LP0208LS) purchased new from an online dealer (any guesses?). I don't really know what a Lisa's pick or Unique Graphic means means, is it a one of a kind?

The blade profile is different than my other Sebenza, and it does not have the same finish, this is a high polish. I like it, but is this unique to all Lisa's picks?

Any info on what does the Unique Graphic means would be appreciated.

The fit and finish on this one is great, even the inside of the lanyard hole is anodized. Really a gorgeous knife in my opinion.


PS. A large Limited 2009, and another Unique with a Damascus Blade are on the way

That is just plain stunning. Most of those don't grab me (YMMV), but that one is just amazing. Congratulations - enjoy it!

This page may explain what "Lisa's pick" and "unique" mean, in general terms.

The polished blade goes with upscale models - stonewashed usually goes with unadorned models.

The blade profile probably differs because the regular (which is what this knife started out as) has a slightly different profile than the classic and 21 models.

Thanks so much, I really Like it also. I just took it appart and switched around the screws, so the smooth part is towards the front, took off the clip and the Lanyard, and its going straight in my pocket.

Thanks again,

Also, This Sebenza is quite a bit more difficult to open than my other Sebenzas, do they loosen up with time or should I play around with the pivot?
 
That's a great looking Sebenza you have there. Congratulations!

And yes, "Unique Graphics" designs are indeed one-of-a-kind. Sometimes Lisa will repeat a design (such as Calvary or Night Sky) but each one is still carved and anodized by hand, making each, well, unique. It is my growing, but very humble, opinion that these hand decorated Sebenzas most represent the real soul of the line. The inlays are always beautiful and of the best quality, but something about the smooth titanium with hand drawn lines and colors really gets me.

All inlayed and decorated Sebenza's have polished blades, with the exception being the Micarta inlayed ones. I have noticed that some polished blades are more "polished" than others, but as the blades are all hand-ground and hand-polished, some variance can be expected. It really is a matter of whose turn it is that day on the cork wheel!
 
That's beautiful! I've never seen any color but gold, silver, or blue on a thumbstud before!
