I'll try to answer what I know. . .
Was this design in the works when he was with CRK and he left and made it first?
Couldn't tell ya.
I know it is different than a Sebenza but is there some sort of copyright or trademark laws being infringed on (not a lawyer, just curious)?
If there were infringement. . .Mr. Cook wouldn't be making the knife. But, since the Lochsa and the Sezbenza are completely different knives. . .no infringement.
And they are completely different knives. I've got a Lochsa and Sebenza setting in front of me as I type this.
In comparison, the only thing that I can see similar. . .they both possess a drop point style feature and both are hollow grinds. The degree of drop on the point is different as is the depth of the hollow grinds.
Oh. . .and they both have thumbstuds.
As far as the scales. . .yeah, both are made of titanium. The Sebenza is a 2 slab frame-lock. The Lochsa is of one-piece construction (milled out of a single piece of titanium) and is the first one-piece handled frame lock folder.
They even feel different in the hand.
Again, no infringement is the knives are different.
Does anyone own one or plan on getting one?
I have a numbered
Lochsa. And it's awesome !
Both are exceptional knives. . .one high-end production knife and one custom knife ! Personally, possessing a Sebenza helps complete a portion of the knife knut cicle. Possessing a Lochsa even further closes the loop.
Get one. . .you won't be sorry !
