I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I am curious to know the most current consensus, 21 or Regular.

Regulars have been selling like hot cakes, but are these just a handful of collectors or the general mass?

I personally prefer the 21 to the Regular.

Obviously this won't be the most accurate for those responding are obviously those who frequent the CRK sub forum, but what the hey.
If the Regular truly is favored to the 21 by the majority I am baffled at Mr. Reeve's decision to discontinue the plain jane regs.
 
Regular Sebenza for me. I like the rounded handle regular over the chamfered 21. I like the blade profile of the regular ( more drop point ) over the super pointy 21..............I have shown my large regular ncis to family members and they were amazed when I did. I recently had a unique graphic 21 and as soon as I opened it, they jumped back. They did not immediately notice the unique graphic, they noticed the super pointy blade. Not very sheople friendly.
 
I think people are marking 21 and not responding. I am a regular guy.
 
I like the blade and handle shape of the 21 better. I guess it's because it looks like the first Sebenza I ever saw, an original with the ATS34 blade and no pocket clip. My cousin still has and uses it to this day.
 
Right now I dont really have a set preference for one or the other. Im glad that their are two versions of the sebbie to choose from. They both have their high points.
Just the other day I realized how big the blade on the 21 really is. Putting both the reg and 21 side by side the 21 it is clearly a longer blade. I prefer the smaller blade on the
reg even tho its not by much but it is very noticible. I think a fun project would be to design the next sebenza and see what people come up with. Keeping all the things that
make the sebbie great but tweaking the design a little bit.
 
I prefer Regular for Small. I'm OK with 21/Classic for the Large, but I think I still prefer the Regular either way because of the blade shape. I don't like how pointy the handle/scales are near the pivot point, it tapers too much where the rear of the blade stop area of the blade sticks out a lot more than the Regular. I do like the cleaner look of the 21/Classic.
 
I really dislike the regular. :) The lockbar access on the Classic and 21 is much, much better. The only regular I've got is here because of its BG-42 blade. :thumbup:
 
You guys know where I stand..

I absolutely love both but the regular gets my vote for sure. BUT!!!! I like the 21 better for the small since the lockbar makes it easier to open and close. I love the Cutours on the regulars frame but most of all I love the regulars blade profile.
 
Loving all the responses!

Now why is it that just the Regular fans are commenting?
So far poll shows the 21 is slightly favored, but no commentary?

Beautiful Regs Dallas!
 
All right - I'll speak-up, and just to echo "vbw563"in thread #5. I checked the
"21" box. I just like the shape of the "21" handles a whole lot better. That's all. I'm just grateful to own, and use such a great knife.
