That sebenza was born my my birthday. I would have been a senior in high school. What a cool blade! To bad that wasn't my graduation gift.
Edit: realized it was my 18 birthday
If you decide to sell it can I get second dibs?
Well, photobucket is not working right now. I have a 2002 large regular with B&W Damascus which is non-stainless. Fortunately, I have the paperwork, here's what it says:
All blades made with non-stainless Damascus require special attention to maintain the original appearance and prevent corrosion. Some of our Damascus blades are etched with Ferric Acid to produce a black and white effect, others are treated with Salts of Nitre to achieve Bronzed and Blued finish.
Please note that the finish on the Blued or Bronzed blades is cosmetic only. This surface finish fades when it comes in contact with high acid content, items such as apples, oranges, steak, fingers. etc.
As far as price goes, it's all subjective. If you feel the asking price is fair and want the knife bad enough, jump on it.
You can always negotiate some wiggle room. Good luck!!!!
That is purty
