Sebenza with backspacer!

celticpride2133 · Jul 12, 2012

I'm looking to get a backspacer for my sebenza, but I can't decide what would look good, so if you have any ideas or even better pics let me see them! or maybe other titanium knives with backspacers just to get some good ideas!

Why the desire for a backspacer? They are harder to keep clean IMO.....

Easier to take apart and put back together, and some people think its looks better. I personally don't care for back spacers though.

I agree^
However if you want a back spacer, I think a carbon fiber one would look pretty neat. Well, at least it does in my head

I think the Southard backspacer is pretty nice looking. Check out this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/968673-Southard-Sebenza-Ti-backspacer

I've seen some of member Nathawut's backspacers on Emersons, not sure if he does them for Sebenzas though. Might want to shoot him a pm/email. Southards are very nice as well.

I like backspacers myself. To each his own though.

^^ Oh dang, I think I understand the appeal now. Seems kind of weird to me to have G10 on a Sebenza at all but that does look pretty neat and would provide some good grip in some cases. Seems kinda crazy replacing the stop pin, though. Don't you have to get it perfect to get lockup right and does G10 provide a solid enough surface that will lockup up solid over time? I guess that's always an option if you every wear your Sebenza's lock too far, though! I've never heard of that happening but I guess in that case CRK would replace it with a slightly larger stop pin anyway to correct the lockup?

Dont replace the stop pin

it can be inserted on friction alone, very carefully as it can affect lockup of it is forced in. No need for disassemble. Here was the original concept. Later modified to just snap on (the glow in the dark version at least.

Here is the method.
