About 2 years ago my brother had his first child a son. Harrison who was 3 months premature and contracted spinal meningitis that caused cerebral palsy. My brother always liked my Sebenza 21 so I started hunting for the perfect one for my brother so I found him a night sky 21 knowing his love for the mountains and midnight camp fires. My brother is a hard worker and had some hard times before his son was born and missed out on a lot of great backpacking trips. so I gave him the Sebenza so he could have the mountains in his pocket . I also knew he was going to use the hell out of it. im a union ironworker and I got him a job as a labourer in a mine till I could pull some strings to get him in with me .I knew what he was going to put the knife through yesterday he asked me to sharpen his knife I didn't take any pictures before I cleaned it up wish I did I couldn't even oppen it I had to take it apart to free the blade he broke the tip off and got the blade stuck in a gear causing some deep goudges in the blade and saving some fingers in the process here are a few pictures after I cleaned it up and sharpend it he added the knew tip before I got my hands on it the bade was very jacked up but useable

Sorry if this is hard to read its being posted com my phone

Pffft, it looks like a safe queen to me. :rolleyes:....:p

That's an interesting knife and it carries quite a history with it too. :):thumbup:
 
My man that's not a 21, that's a Regular! Yea, I'm a nerd for pointing it out:p

Your a good guy, thanks for sharing :thumbup:
 
Good on ya for looking out for your brother! Touching story and it's so nice to see how much that knife has come to his aid.
 
Nice reg, I love that its been used hard:thumbup: I bet that the only Sebenza to see work in a mine, awesome!!. I think your bro might be in need of a sharpmaker.
 
You're a good brother. Now, you need to call up CRK and see if you can buy a blade replacement before it s too late, since they discontinued the "regualar" model.
 
Refreshing to see a nice regular being put to some use!
Great story too btw.
Best to your brother and his family as well.
 
Now that is a nice looking knife! :thumbup:

Great story! I like how you walk through life.

Limestone quarries are mines, and I know a couple that have been put through their paces in quarries. ;)

No blade play still feels like a tank and opens as smooth as ever once I cleaned all the slag and built up crap from 2 years of heavy heavy abuse
