I'm closer than I've ever been to pulling the trigger on my first sebbie I just need to pick a model. Can anyone post a pic with a large Regular and a large 21 side by side? I've always liked the Classic scales and the Regular blade. Anyone have a pic of a mixed breed Sebbie like that?
 
Sorry for the lousy pics, hope this helps..
Should give you a rough idea.

I like the large regular and edc it. I like the blade profile of the regular over the 21. I dont mind the handle of the classic though, I wish they would have a classic style handle with a regular style blade. I just dont care for the pointy 21 blade.
 
Ive tried both and I prefer the ergonomics of the classic and 21. Although I hear the regular has a better blade shape for cutting.
 
I carried a Lg Reg for 5 years and a Sm Reg for three years before that. I picked up a Lg 21 a little over a month ago, and I prefer it in every way. I do think that the Reg is more pleasing to the eye, but I find the 21 easily more comfy in the hand, and the blade geometry is better as well. Its great... it IS a seb, so it really feels like an old friend... but it one-ups the reg IMO.
 
I preferred the Classic over the regular. Since the 21 came out, I prefer the 21 over the Classic.
 
Thanks for all the pics and advice. Those were exactly what I needed to see. I'll have to buy two of them somehow. The challenge now is have any of you multiple style owners tried to mix match your left hand scales to see what a Franken-Sebbie would look like?

Again.......another confirmation!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

I have owned them both and aside from Reg looking better, it felt better. Also, my Classic had an awful thin tip.....(not that I use knives as anything but cutting tools;) It just made me nervous.
 
I have loved the 21 since it came out. I was not a huge "Regular" fan--much preferred the classic.

Different strokes for different folks! :) That is why they made two models.
 
So far after 2 days of having the 21, I can say that the 21 feels more "secure" in the hand. Don't get me wrong, I love my Small regular, but the 21 just feels better in the hand. I do like the Regular blade profile better, but I have yet to use the 21 in the normal daily tasks....more to come after a few weeks of use.:thumbup:
 
Here are pix of my 2 Dog Paws Sebbies; one is a Classic & the other a 21.

I have only handled the 21 and love it. I don't like the handle of the regular. The classic would be my second choice.

Me, too. I've sold all my classics except my dog paw Sebs and replaced them with micarta 21s. I'm using a small micarta 21 in place of my small regular at work because it's easier for me to open & close.
