The only Sebenzas I am looking for at this time are the Native Graphics large and small, and the desert ironwood large and small. The Native Graphics are of course regulars, and the desert ironwoods have been produced as both annuals and classics. My question about the Native Graphics is whether or not any of the Native Graphics produced were made with BG42 steel, or were all of them just made with S30V steel? Secondly, how rare are the ironwood and Native Graphics knives? I'm guessing the annual ironwoods and Native Graphics are more rare than the classic ironwood models. Third, were there any other American Indian graphics offered other than the totems on the Native American Sebs? Here is one of the Natives lifted from Google Images.

I have a large Native American and its S30V. This is the only design of its kind. CRK does have tons of CGG, but nothing like this one I have ever seen. There was a small native american on a dealer site and it was there for years, but sadly when I went to get it one day, it had sold the day before. My loss. It is the coolest CGG I have seen. I put a large dog paw lanyard bead on mine. It looks like a wolfs paw too, so it fits well with the theme........!!!

Here is mine, not the greatest of pics.....!

 
It was more common a few years ago, but getting scarce these days. I have a small, it's a pretty one. One of my favorite CGG's.
 
Here is a large annual ironwood I picked up a few months ago. I like the wood since it is old and hard as steel (almost). The annuals with ironwood are hard to locate

I have seen the ironwood annuals. Would love to have one with ironwood, or especially Bocote....!!! I can dream.... Lol
 
When I got this one, it was from a CRK dealer, it was the last large Native American that any dealer had on the CRK dealer page. It was there for some time too. This was the first large sebenza I had bought NEW from a dealer, and not from the forums or the bay. Was several years ago though. I am always on the lookout for another as its so nice I want one to just admire and one to use. Though someday I may just break down and use mine, what the heck.....!!! Until then, its minty fresh.
 
The large NA is one of my grails. They're just about impossible to find as other have said.
 
I 'ordered' one a few years ago from an internet dealer, and was really excited to get it, but instead of a shipping confirmation the next day, I got an email stating that it was sold and he forgot to take it off of the webpage.

I'd still like to find one.

Sweet, Glad you were the one that scored it.....!!! I have been on the lookout for another, I will find one eventually. But still glad a great forum member scored one that has been wanting one for some time. Desert Ironwood is a beautiful wood inlay as well.
 
Thanks for the kind words nyefmaker!! I just hope mine looks as good as the one in your pictures!! If so I will be very happy!!
all the best!!
