[glockboy]

How can you tell yours Sebenza BG-42 or S30V?
I'm new to Sebenza, and loving it.

 

[LaBella]

do you have the born on date card?

 

[glockboy]

no, just a small sebenza. nothing mark on the blade.

I thought the s30v had an S on the blade near the hole.

I think some of the first S30v blades did not have the S marking. You can also check the 2 digit number on the inside of your scales that indicates the year the scales were made which will give you an approximate year the knife was made. If it is well before 2002 then in all probability it is probably bg42.

My first Sebbie was BG-42.
