Sebenza 21 or 25?

I was on the fence and opted for the 21. I'm glad I did. I have the Umnumzaan and it's nice, but the pivot bushing is way cooler.
 
25 here.
But I do not think you could go wrong with either :D
 
Has the hole ever been explained? Or the lack of hole in the 25, and why the 21 has the hole in the Ti slab.
 
The hole is there to allow the slab to be machined, a pin goes through it in the jig.

On the 25, a new process eliminated the need for a locating pin in the jig so it does not have a hole in the handle slab.

ah i see! thanks!
 
The 25 has been growing on my tremendously. The ergonomics are much better than the 21 (for me) and the blade grind is excellent. Not to mention, the ceramic ball interface. If I see a Micarta 25 on The Exchange I'm going to try it out for sure.

I used to think the lack of a pivot bushing was a con. After dissasembly/reassembly, I found out that there's no blade play when the male pivot screw is out.

Exactly. (IMO) it's a better design (25)

I say get all of CRKs flavors..they're all fantastic, can't go wrong.
