New Sebenza washers

[flava]

I noticed on a large Sebbie 21 (born in 01/2010) that the washers are perforated. That's neat, I guess the lube will last longer. Any ideea when CRK started to put perforated washers on the Sebenza?

It all started with the Umnumzaan.
It worked out so well that they are now ordering perforated washers for the Sebenzas after they've run out of regular washers. From what I've heard, they've only got small sebenza washers left to go.

I have one knife with perforated washers and, in case anyone is wondering what they look like, I took a quick picture of them when I had it disassembled.

Good data point. It will be interesting to try to put a transition date on the small Sebenzas as well.

If the post up a few is up to date, not smalls yet. There will be "pre-perf" inventory on dealer shelves for years, though. Here's the post:
