I know it was asked, but I never really saw an answer. Have both the regular sebenza and the classic sebenza been discontinued, and replaced with the new sebenza 21?

Thanks
 
Yes, both Large and Small have been discontinued, however, they will produce the anual inlay production of the regular if im not wrong.

Yes. But the 21 is a very minor tweak to the Classic 2000 design. If you liked the Classic, you will like the 21. If you liked the regular, well, you'll have to wait for the annual wood inlay models.
 
They are pretty much identical. The 21 handles are completely blank and don't say Classic MM on it.
 
The changes ARE subtle. But, it is hard to imagine that they could improve the Sebenza, but they did, with the 21!! It is waaaay smoother then the other Sebbies I have. I believe the edge profile is a bit thinner, and the knife as a whole is more rounded, and there chamfer is a bit bigger. I hope this helps.
 
Oh yeah that too. My small regular gave my thumb blisters from trying to open it. My large 21 opens freely.
 
Visual cues and tactical feel can be deceiving. The fact of the matter is that, out of the box from the factory, there is no difference in the handle slab thicknesses or pivot between this year's Regular, the Classic 2000, and the Classic 21. (I make that "this year's" distinction because Chris is continuously making improvements across the product lines, and I don't want to count out the fact that one of those improvements would be noticed in a comparison between an older Sebenza and a newer Sebenza.) Relative to the Classic 2000, the Sebenza 21 sports a larger chamfer on the pivot end of the knife, a different chamfer around the handle perimeter, and loses the alpha-numeric engraving. That's it.

What's a chamfer?

A chamfer is a beveled edge connecting two surfaces. It's a common feature implemented when two surfaces oriented at 90 degrees meet, in order to "break" the sharp edge, provide a "lead in" to a mating object, and/or provide an attractive appearance.
