^ I really like that Raindrop, I suspect that might be Mr. Thomas' as opposed to Nichols? The "drops" are much more spread out; really pretty blade!

Since it’s a 31 it is sure to be Nichols as the started the switch in 2017 and I’m certain it was well over before the 31’s rolled out.

Yep, you're right. It's a really nice/distinct pattern, I appreciate the variation.

Speaking of which, you have a pretty unique Damascus in queue as well - waiting on double studs aren't ya?

I'd like to know more about your new affection for the Sebenza. What finally caught your fancy?

That’s a great question my friend. Honestly I think it’s the history and legacy of Chris Reeve. The absolute refinement. Only what you need and nothing more. The precision in which they were designed and manufactured.

You cant hold one and not feel the passion of the man behind them. Call me a romantic but put all this together and I just can not resist.

It really all started to change when I got my first large. After years and years and a dozen smalls of all different configs I just figured they were not for me and moved to the Zaan and Inkosi. In those I found the same amazing manufacturing and precision but just not the passion, history and evolution. Looking back I think thats why I bought and sold so very many of them, I loved them but something just wasnt right.

Then when I bought the Large 21 I knew I was hooked but honestly fought it as I was a Zaan and Inkosi guy….

Handling the Large Regular just sealed the deal and there is just no going back.

Live and learn.

I love all the children. (Well, I would probably love the Inkosi, but don't own any.)

I wouldn't want to part with any of my Sebenzas...but I really love the design and texture of the Zaan frame...as well as the aesthetics of both the harpoon and tanto blades that the zaan offers.

So, when I get this new member of the family, I'll have a couple of Insingos, a couple of tantos, a couple of drop points mixed between Sebenzas, (including one small), and zaans.

I'm hoping that will do it for me. (It had better. LOL.)

My large Regular from 1998 will always hold pride of place because it was a birthday gift from my wife...as will be this new tanto zaan when it arrives.

Do you have any idea how dangerous this is? Now if you hit that shit, you’re gonna have a forum full of knife-wielding maniacs hunting you down. And there’ll be nowhere for you to hide, because we’re everywhere, and most of us aren’t quite right in the head.

I may not have thought that all the way thru!

I've commented elsewhere that the small sebenza is a very different knife than then large, despite the near identical appearance in photos.
