I have a budget of 500$ for a new folder.

I was thinking of giving a Sebenza a try again, still debating on either the Lg 21 or the 25,
but I figure maybe the members here can help me with a choice.

No recurves or serrations
A larger folder would be nice

Thanks ahead of time!
 
I would recommend a large 21 (especially insingo blade, it's just so useful) or Umnumzaan. I tried the 25 and found I didn't like it as much as the 21, but YMMV. I prefer the Umnum to large Sebbies since I like to be able to flick open my large work knives. Umnums do this effortlessly once broken in, but most Sebenzas stay too tight to be flicked in my experience.
 
I was thinking of a 25 just for the Ceramic Ball, but I do like the looks of the Large Insingo better.
I wish I could find a Umnum for sale up in Canada
 
For something different in CRK: Sebenza Insingo or Tanto blade. Also, the Wilson Combat variations of Sebenza 21 (StarBenza) and Umnumzaan (StarTac) with the Wilson StarBurst grip pattern for enhanced looks and grip.
 
For CRK I'd say Sebenza 25 or Umnumzaan, I've owned and used both extensively and recommend either.

Vecp is awesome too!
 
I can't recommend the Umnumzaan highly enough. It's far and away my favorite knife.
 
How about a full Ti Grayman Dua or a three sisters forge beast? The Dua is tough, smoother and more comfortable in hand than any Sebenza I have ever owned. Sebenzas are great...but for EDC the Dua is just awesome!
 
I know your style bro, you might think the Umnumzaan is too large. Get a 21 maybe a small if you've never tried one. They are great knives either one you pic.
 
I don't know the Olamic line so cannot comment on them. The others mentioned are all good knives; the Sebbies come in large and small so be careful of hand-size. The Dua and the Beast are sized between the grip-lengths of the small and large Sebenza models. I have large hands; I cannot carry a small Seb. I do carry a Zaan EDC; have for a few yrs.
