There are still many Regular Around I believe. Though it will get tougher to find one that hasen't been messed with or NIB. You can get some pretty good deals on ebay if you look. My first sebenza, a Bg-42 large regular, I picked up around the holidays for $280 including shipping. But when I was looking for a large regular for my NCIS engraved knife, I paid $315, still not too bad. Plus you see some deals in the exchange.
As for the "21".......I like the regular better. I just got a NIB small 21 today. It is nice and if never handled the regular, I would love it. But after handling and using the regular, I definately prefer the regular. I was surprised how sharp the edges of the 21 seem to be. It is supposed to be more rounded and easier to insert into the pocket, but, ALL my regulars are much more rounded and more comfortable in the hand than the 21. I did notice the 21's blade is 1/8 longer than the regular though. I like them both, but if I could only have ONE, it would be a regular. My new love, the Mnandi is spoiling me..... I would definately rather have a Mnandi in any configuration than a 21 !!!

Has the market done much on the now discontinuedplain Sebenzas, or are there still plenty around? Just curious, thanks.
How are you guys liking the "21"? I believe I will sorely miss the "plain" models.
The plain isn't going anywhere! you can get the 21 in plain. Just the regular is discontinued and will only be afailable as the anual model.
