My first post in this subforum (I've mostly posted in the slipjoint folsky forum up until now), so hello all. Thanks for all the info posted in here.

So I got my first (user) small Sebenza 21 from Peter in the Exchange. I disassembled her, lubed her up (Ballistol), gave her a once over with Scotch-Brite (green, then white), popped in the lanyard pin, and sharpened her up on a DMT hone, and an Arkansas stone (medium, then fine). After a quick strop on the palm, she's shaving sharp (admittedly, it would be a painful shave at this point).

Here's some before and afters:

This is hands down my favorite knife. The ergonomics, the famed "bank vault" walk and talk, the blade shape, it all speaks to me. The ultimate "stealth beast" blade.

I will never buy another knife again. :heh:
 
Someone making their knife "theirs"...that's what I like to see! I know you're a traditional guy when you you mentioned the "walk and talk". :)
 
I can certainly appreciate that!

And the longer you have it, the more you'll love it. . . .

BTW, Welcome!
