My carry this last Monday:
I have had Chris Reeve knives before (Large Sebenza 21 and an Umnumzaan like 7 years ago), but didn't keep them long. I got this one recently and have been really enjoying it.
I've been trying to read up, but can someone give me the run down on the differences between this and the Sebenza 21 and 25 and 31? I understand the Inkosi doesn't have the bushing pivot. Isn't that a downgrade?
Also, I've been looking at the warranty. I know it's generally really well respected. It is definitely worded as if it only applies to the original owner. But I know very well that warranties are really only as good as the people behind them, and the wording doesn't matter that much (it can go in either direction, good wording with bad execution or bad wording with good execution).
I also wasn't sure, from reading on their website, whether this knife with the inlays could get the re tumbling as part of the spa service? It has some scuffs from sharpening above the pivot. Also, will they remove blade scratches, without replacing the blade?
