OK, not the best description. I have owned a Small Classic in the past (now sold). It had clean lines like this:

However, I have handled other Sebenzas that have, for lack of a better word, gently jimped or scalloped lock bars and frames like this:

I have found that I greatly prefer the scalloped frames and locks. What are these versions called?

I figure that they are not current production, and that's fine with me. I'll find a Large LH eventually.

Thanks!
Really? So I'd be looking for simply a "Large LH Regular"?

ETA: Ah, that makes sense. From the website (emphasis added):

Chris developed the first Sebenza in 1987 and the profile has experienced minor changes over the years. After the entirely handmade version came the Original profile in 1990, the Regular in 1996 and the Classic in 2000.

2008 is the 21st year of the Sebenza and to celebrate, we have introduced the Sebenza 21—an updated version of the classic, that is easier to insert into a pocket or pouch.

That's correct but currently the only regular style scales that are being produced is Sebenzas that are the Limited Edition with inlays.You may find some older regulars still on the shelf at some dealers but there becoming harder to find.

plus keep an eye out on the exchange. They do not come up for sale often so you will need to act fast. It took me awhile to find a large regualar at a decent price.
Good luck.
 
Thanks for the replies! To make it harder, of course I'm looking for a lefty. I'll keep my eyes out. I'm sure something will turn up.
 
Yes they are getting harder to find but dont overpay too much for one. I saw a large regular in good condition go for $300 just last week. Be patient and dont break the bank for one.
