Sebenza 25 - Do we need a more heavy duty knife?

[Sonnydaze]

Well, we've known for a long time that the 25 would have a 0.140" blade thickness, as does the Zaan. What nobody seems to have said...yet...is that the Zaan has the more perfect blade design; certainly a more aggressive look...and I much prefer it. I'm NOT talking cutting ability...just the artistic shape. Of course, one of these days I'll take my "old" pre-button Zaan and cut (dare I say Dremel?) out the thumb-notch a bit more so that I can close the blade. Then, maybe, I can close the blade one-handed. And, if I can do that, I might even carry the darned thing. My Sebbie is so EASY to operate; my Zaan is so hard.
So, yeah, I'll dremel that sucker and ruin the resell value, but WTH. I know I won't live forever...and will never sell the Zaan anyway, although I have gone thru a ton of Sebbies.

Thats the main reason I don't like the Zaan. I don't care for the funky blade spine on the Zaan. I much prefer the simple non aggressive look of the Sebenza blade.

Cosmetically l love both, but do find the 21's blade profile more useful. I also like the spine taper better (better point strength).
