Rich,
The blade shape is the same; it's the handles that are different.
IMO, don't fool around and get the small wood inlay; if you can.
You will be glad you did.
You can't believe how good that raised wood feels; like Glaasssss.
or
If the knife is for work; get a regular lightly used from the For Sale Forum and save yourself $50.
That's what I did and it's my every day carry.

DAMN, I was typing this and playing with my small wood inlay Sebenza and it kissed me.
That's OK I didn't lose much blood.
Does that make it used?

I can't bring myself to use the wood inlay small Sebenza.
I was closing it in my Left Hand with my thumb and the blade fell very lightly on my right hand first finger middle joint; it still hurts.

I just went to a picture and it sure looks like the blades are a little different. (The classic 2000 and the regular "Plain". The plain seems to have more of an elliptical shape.)
Rick: It's quite a problem to have a knife that's meant for carry (like that wood scaled beauty), but you just can't bring yorself to put even the tiniest scratch on that glass-like finish. You'd better send that baby to my safe for "protection".
It's almost a relief when I read that I'm not the only guy who cuts himself. It seems to be a regular thing these days. Like some kind of a "streak".
Oh, and rub some "Hoppe's" in that cut. (Not really
) I'll listen. I bet I can hear you scream from here!

I just looked at some more pictures. It does look like the blades on the large Sebenzas are the same. (2000 and reg.) However, on the small Sebenza, there is a slightly different blade profile between the Sebenza 2000 and the Regular Plain. Anyone else see this? I KNOW I'm not seeing things. Just because I dream about the knives I want doesn't mean I see things that aren't there.
Does it??

I sure feel lucky to have gotten my wood inlay. I had a feeling that this was going to take off!. Yours is such a beauty of a knife you shoudn't keep that poor baby in a safe! But your point is well taken. I used to carry my inlay everywhere including at night. At work I dropped a small amount of crazy glue on the wood. Thought I was going to die! But... sent it back to CRK and they fixed it up and only charged me for shipping! Now I only carry it at home on my day off and nothing else is in my left pocket. Like I said a beauty of a knife, I feel fortunate to have mine. Life is too short, enjoy it. Rick I know you have plenty of very nice knives, use that wood inlay! My bike has just over 50K miles, I'm gonna catch up to your Harley. In So. California I can ride year round.

Scott,
Sorry to here about your Sebenza.
I don't hide it away; it's always in front of me under the monitor where I can feel it up.
Scott, I also ride all year round (if the temperature is above 40).
What do you ride?

I ride a Kawasaki ZX-11 Ninja. Runs great. I have a racing shop do the maintenance. I ride it to work 35 miles each way, Orange County to Los Angeles. I agree, below 40 degrees it gets pretty painful. I take the car when it rains and when I don't feel so hot. I have 125 HP at the rear wheel. 120-150MPH puts the world in a whole new perspective! Awesome, it hauls ass! And it gets 44 MPG when I ride it like a sane person. At 120MPH mileage goes down to a meezly 38MPG. What a rush!

You guys are making me feel bad. I'm currently without a bike for the first time in many, many years. Sold my last one, a 1500 Gold Wing and bought a Miata as my toy.
They're a kick but not the same (insert big sigh) Traded a beige money pit for a red one (can't have one without puting accessories on them can you?)
