I didn't and I was thinking that I know almost any damascus pattern used with Sebenza. Anyway. Although I have many beautiful Sebenza with nice inlay materials or graphics, still the plain Jane w. damascus blade fascinates me. It is the combination of the pure titanium slabs, meant to be used and to receive their scars during its life, with the pure elegance of the damascus blade, focussing our view immediately to the blade.

Having a plain Jane with basket weave damascus in my collection I thought I am fine by having this combination represented. Not ambitious to get further pieces with the other current damascus patterns, like raindrop or ladder. But once a special, an anterior damascus pattern crosses my way, I am trying to add it to my collection. For instance Spirograph pattern or others. Never heard about "Dot Matrix" pattern before. So I am very pleased with this. Even more, as it is coated, like they did some years ago. Additionally it is a "pre Idaho stamp" Sebenza, which I like a lot (this "Idaho made" thing wasn't really necessary, to my opinion.).

Okay. Here we got. Let me know what you think about it.

I didn't find how many were made but in the last four years I saw only two
 
Nice to see that one is still around, I owned that knife at one time. It is my understanding that this is the only knife from CRK made with dot matrix damascus. Apparently Devin gave Chris a sample of the material and this was the only blade he made with that sample. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding. Congrats!
Btw, I agree with you on the IM stamp.

Edit: Appears there was an inlaid Cocobolo one as well.

That is an amazing knife. I really like the dot matrix pattern. I had never heard of it before today. So that makes it more rare than the river of fire damascus if there is only one out there.
I have been on the hunt lately for a PJ with raindrop damascus. For some reason the raindrop pattern has been calling to me.
As always awesome pictures, thanks for sharing them!!
 
Once again fantastic pictures and a fantastic knife Stefan! Congrats!

A quick search did pull up a small cocobolo dot matrix, but that was it.
 
Thanks guys! Whow. Thanks for the information. So this is quite a rare piece. I wish they had taken this pattern into their range of damascus. I like it a lot.
 
Great knife, and terrific pics as usual! I have never seen a CRK with this pattern, I am familiar with it from William Henry knives but it looks even better on the larger blade of the Sebenza:)

Nice ring at the end by the way:thumbup:
