I guess being into Chris Reeve's knives as much as I've been the last 10 years, it shouldn't surprise me when I get a new Sebenza that blows me away. UPS guy just dropped of my NICA tanto Seb, and WOW!:eek:

I guess I forgot how cool the first limited run of 400 was. I saw that this new version was only 200 and had to get one. Fantastic!
Maybe I didn't pay too much attention to the original run when I had one a few years ago, but this new version seems to have a sleeker grind to it. More ergonomic if you will. The semi-hollow grind has a just a slight belly but tapers nicely to a great tanto point. Tip to pummel comes in at exactly 3 1/2", with a satin finished stoned washed blade. I might have to get a back-up, these are that nice.

You Sebenzaholics shouldn't let one of these slip past your mits. If not for the tanto style then for the collector value! :thumbup:

I got the BG42 version and I am really thinking about the new one. Sleeker, huh? I guess I really need to check one out.
 
I like the looks of the new one, but at around $500 I doubt Ill be getting one. well lets say maybe, I need to start saving my money.
 
I'm glad they don't make a small version or else the temptation might get the better of me.

I'd love to have one, but $500 is too much. I spent nearly that on my Classic Micarta and that's my baby now. I feel your pain.
 
They're only $450.00. Come on guys...:p
 
Yeah but Dave it is a limited edition and twice as limited as the first run of 400. I think you'll really kick yourself in the butt five years from now if you don't pick up one now. I may be wrong but I don't seem to see many of the original ones for sale. I'm not sure I'd EDC it though. I don't like to EDC a knife that can't be relatively easy to replace.:eek: :cool: :p ;)
 
Scott,

That's why you need two! :rolleyes: :D
 
SInce I haven't spent my knife allowance yet for Nov., I may just wait another month or so and make it a xmas present for myself.
 
Great excuse Dave. Man, you need to come up some more of those so I can use em on my wife.:D

Get a hold of Dan at www.Plazacutlery.com He'll do you right. New shippment just came in, and there great about layaways. :thumbup:
 
Crown,

Congrats.:thumbup: You say it's your favorite now. Are you comparing it to your other Sebenza's? I'd have to agree that for a larger folder, this is my EDC. A very tuff workhorse!

My EDC ;)
 
I was comparing it to my benchmade Pinnacle and my benchmade Skirmish. I also really like the tanto blade shape over those knives as well.
 
In a few minutes I'm going to Plaza Cutlery in Costa Mesa to pick up a LH NICA tanto. I'll post pics when I get back. They have a number of left hand ones available so any southpaws out there that might want to pick pick one of these up should do so while you have the chance.:cool: ;) :D
 
Just got back. I got this as a safe queen but after examining it, I think this knife begs for some serious pocket time. I usually don't care much for tantos but this knife might change my mind. I might have to pick up a couple more. Does the compulsion ever end?;) :cool: :eek: :thumbup: :D

I also thought I should buy another after I got mine. So far I am fighting the temptation. Don't know how long I can last.
 
Tanto right hand style, from Plaza Cutlery, spoke to Pam (Dan was also there but was online with another client)... friendly, honest service, and I got my UPS tracking number immediately. Should be here by Thursday, I can't wait! :D
