Had my Sebenza for a few months now, and to be succinct about my perceptions here, it's worth every nickel I paid for it, and I hope to own a few more Chris Reeve knives by this fall.

My question is regarding the Blade finish. While opening a case of blaze orange surveying paint I touched off one of the nozzles and got a nice orange finish on my blade that would NOT come off. At times I'd thought about using a colored lanyard or something to make my Sebenza a bit brighter, but this was ridiculous! I tried every solvent and paint remover made with no luck. Finally wound up having the paint removed with a polishing wheel, which, even though my blade is no longer orange, it's now a nice pimpy bright silver which is better than the orange color, but...still not my favorite.
Could I have it taken back to a more subdued finish again?
If so, how much will it cost?
If I wind up sending it in for that, could I get the handles cleaned up again?

and lastly, how much would the dual thumb studs run me?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
I think the price to refinish the blade is included in the refurb price of ~$25, but they do have to remove the thumb studs to do the blade which destroys them. That's good if you want duals and that cost is ~$30. If not I think you have to pay anyway to have new studs mounted.

Ultimately I would call or e-mail them as Remster said, they are very fast in responding to e-mails.

All of the info I gave is going from memory so I could be very wrong...
 
'preciate the guesstimate! I really wasn't sure what was or wasn't available for service there, and I was pretty much shooting for a ball park estimation. Making a phonecall is pretty difficult for me right now (working 90 hours a week, so I don't have time for much else) Why the idea of an email hadn't occurred to me, I really don't know. Guess I'd rather blame it on fatigue than generally low IQ ;) hope y'all have a good 'un!
