Jeff Goldblum had a boot dagger...the little weasel...;)

The older brother was whitteling on the gallows that night with a pocket knife...


And im2smrt4u, I'm set for a large knife right now but thanks for the pointer! Hope you get the rest you need for that passaround!

been working alot and couldn't get on line too much

well the sebenza has started to grow on me.i have used the heck out of it since i recieved it.
1.carved a honey ham
2.chopped up a pound of pipe tobacco-think it even smoked better being
done with a sebenza-lol
3.cut many boxes and straps at work
4.cut some tinder for a fire in my fire pit
and used for anything else i needed a blade for since i got it

this knife preformed flawlessly for ever chore i needed it for and lockup is still perfect,blade centered and edge holds well.the finish is very durable showing almost no wear.

i want to thank you all for the chance of carrying it and putting it through it's paces.would i spend the money for one after having for awhile-what can i say, sure i would.would be a beauty to own.

will be off to the next lucky person this week--enjoy
 
Glad you liked it! :D

BTW, has anyone had to sharpen the Sebenza yet? All this work and I haven't heard one mention of sharpening! Amazing! :eek:
 
i didn't sharpen it edge was still great not hair shaving but still in good shape
 
I did hit the ceramic steel to dress up the edge, I didn't want to take it to the Edge Pro yet, I figured I'd wait till it was home with me.:D

Okay. No material has needed to be removed yet.

BTW, who has it right now? Medic?
 
It's on the way to me. I am at work right now, but am going to run by the house to see if it has arrived. I suspect it will probably arrive on Monday though.

I drove by the house today to find a slip in the mailbox saying they missed me, but would attempt delivery again Monday. As I was headed back to the base, I saw the mailman in an adjacent neighborhood, so I pulled my ambulance up to the car and gave the guy my slip. He gladly gave me the package.

Nice knife. After carrying Rev. Pete's Small classic for over a month, I was surprised at how big it was (had just the opposite reaction when I opened the small classic). I knew it was going to be about as big as my Mini Commander.....Gotta go. Got an emergency call.

Only two folks left after Medic, That means about 3 weeks or so long and the raffle will kick off:)
 
Dropped the knife off at the post office this morning, so it is off to Dave's house. When I got it, it wasn't very sharp at all, and there was a place at the belly of the edge which looked like somebody might have cut food on a ceramic plate. You could see light reflecting off the edge, and it had no bite on my fingernail in that spot. I tried using a steel to draw the edge out again, but that didn't work too well. You could tell where the sharpmaker had been used by the light scratch marks on the edge, so I decided I would use the sharpmaker to fix the rough spot on the edge. I am not sure why CR recommends the Sharpmaker because the Sebenza has a convex edge, and the 204 doesn't seem to be at the right angle. I didn't want to do any serious sharpening on the knife, so after a few passes on the brown stone, and a few more passes on the white, I gave up trying to get the edge right with the 204. I it took to my new 10" Pro Combo leather hone I got from HandAmerican.com and used the 800 grit and 1200 grit Silicone carbide and then the Chromium Oxide to polish the edge back to a factory finish. I still didn't get that spot totally fixed, but I'm sure it won't take much more work than I did. The spot is still there, but not as bad, and you can only see it if you hold the blade right, so I hope I haven't scared anybody with this post. Unfortunately, the Sebenza came to me at a bad time, as I just received my new BM 806D2, 921, and 940. With 3 brand new knives, it was very hard to let them go long enough to really use the Sebbie. I did play with some, but just opening and closing. I only cut a few pieces of cardboard. Nothing major. Didn't do any food prep, since I don't know where it has been, and I'm not too keen on eating with a knife that might have drawn somebody elses blood. Sorry, I guess I'm just picky:p. Anyway, just wanted to keep everyone up to date. Sorry I didn't get it out on Saturday, but my schedule became unexpectedly hectic. Hate to let it go. Maybe it will come back to me in a couple weeks, and I'll get to put it through it's paces more.
