Sebenza question

[nathan310]

Hi,

I'm a sebenza owner and I heard that the sebenza is so well made that a grain of sand wont fit into the lock or pivot area whether it's open or closed.

Is this true?

Thanks...

Depends on the size of the grain.

The tolerances are nice and tight tho.

I use mine pretty hard and have never felt or seen any grit in the pivot area.

a member here did in fact play with his sebbie in the sand. he had no issues.

It's an absurdly sound design. You really have to own one and get to know it to understand. I have trouble imagining anything short of blatant abuse phasing it.

Well, if you drop it in the sand or dirt (as I have mine), the action of opening an closing can feel gritty. Nothing that has ever effecte the lock function as I have seen happen with lockbacks and axis lock knives in mud though. The beauty of the design is that the Sebenza is simple to disassemble, clean lubricate, and you are back in business. Pair that with top notch support and customer service- when your knife gets really beat up, you can send it back to CRK for a refurb and it will be like new again. Heck, you can even send it it just for sharpening.

I don't think they are quite that tight, but one of mine survived 25 days in the sand and snow.
