New Sebenza on the Way!

[Z71]

Hi Guys - new to the forum but have been lurking for quite awhile. So much great information and I'm more of a reader than a poster. With that said, I pulled the trigger on a Large Sebenza 21 with Bocote inlays from Knivesshipfree today! Even though it's a show piece I'm planning to carry it, use it, give it a personality and some day, hand it down to my son. I went back and forth between the regular 21s and 25s, 25 with micarta and stonewash blade, etc. etc. etc. I just feel like if I'm going to spend this much money, I want it to be a beautiful knife. The one I purchased has a knot in the wood which looks like an "eye" and it just called out to me. I can't wait for it to get here!

Anyways, I've learned a great deal reading and searching the various threads on here. Thanks for the great forum!

good looking inlay. I have a Seb 21 inly as well, and you won't be disappointed. Very nice knives.

Don't tell Mr. Reeve that a Sebenza is a "show piece" That knife may look purdy, but she was built to work!
Nice acquisition.

Congratulations on a beautiful knife, almost looks too good to use, if I were you I'd have to get a plain jane and use the inlay for special occasions .. Enjoy it and welcome to the addiction

Welcome. Great choice! The eye looks cool, very distinctive.

It will be interesting to see how I feel about it once I get it in my hands. I could see myself changing my mind and keeping this one for special occasions and buying a different one for EDC. We'll see what happens.

I have an annual that I cannot bring myself to carry except on occasions, and a few other CRK's as well. And with this being your first sebenza, I think you'll convince yourself to get a user. Once you have it in hand, that'll be the deal breaker for it being a EDC, but I'm just saying

I love that knot! It looks like a T-Rex eye:thumbup:

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a small plain sebenza since I got a new job. Im looking at either a sebenza or a custom. If I'm gonna spend 300+, why not spend 500+? But then again, I feel like a sebenza "completes a collection".
