A large or small ????
The small was a little too short for my likings, but I do have two larges with micarta inlays.

Was thinking Small.

The small Micarta Sebenza is an excellent knife and one of my favorites(maybe my favorite). I have the drop point, but either blade should work well.

I seem to favor the Insingo blade shape but I will get a drop point at some point.

Quick question on the small Sebenza. The one i just got has a really tight lock. It is very difficult to disengage with one hand. I guess that is considered lock stick? Didn’t know if you had experienced that.

^^ can't say that I have, but only my 1st (Sm.Classic MM African Blackwood) was factory new. I usually buy off the exchanges

MattKnives , Try this, disengage the lock bar and release it. If the lock bar looks like it has earlier lock up, then yes, you have lock stick. If the lock bar goes back to it's original position, the lock bar may need a minor adjustment. Either way, you may need to send it in for an adjustment. I've got a small that has lock stick and one that seems to take more effort to un lock. If I disengage the one that has lock stick and let it lock back up, I can see that it locks up a bit earlier.
You can also remove the pocket clip and see if that helps out. I really don't know how much added tension the clip puts on the lock bar, if any at all.

Thanks for the info!
