Small Sebenza 21 full Ti backspacer!!

[353]

Just installed a plain backspacer to my small, here is some pictures:

I like to use the "layering" method, but the sandwich is fine too..

Backspacer on!

No more dings on the edge from keys etc on this blade!!

Thanks for the opportunity TTTis !!

So there is no actual anchor point near the tang correct?

Correct, it just rests against the stop pin. In the instructions from TTTis he suggests to push the spacer against the stop pin as you tighten the two frame screws.

It works like a charm, it's not going anywhere and is nicely seated.

I figured with the backspacer and lanyard pin it would be secure. I had just recently seen someone else do a backspacer and since the Sebenza has that double duty pin he had to get creative.

Nice, do you notice a difference in weight ?

Maybe a little, I suspect I'm fooled by the bigger grip.

At 4,7 grams there is not to much to notice.

Come on man, I'm supposed to be saving money right now.....

Great to see pics of them in the wild!

I’m really enjoying mine. I wish I’d gotten a smooth one too.

With the micarta seb you have there I'd say the grooved one will look better than the plain, nice pictures.

I definitely like the grooved spacer on that Sebenza but I've got a plain small 21 from 2009 (no "Idaho Made" mark) that I'd like to put a smooth one on. I almost bought one of each and knew I'd regret it if I didn't. Well, here we are...

At this point you are lucky just to get a chance to buy one of these.. If you see one, just get it!

Let's just hope he makes some more. I want a back up.

Wish I would have seen this earlier! I would love a plain to go with my plain small seb

I feel you.. Let's hope he, or someone else makes some more. This is the greatest mod ever to a Sebenza no doubt.

Been rocking this thing for a couple of days now, I love it. It revived my Sebenza in a great way. Puts it in the top of my list once again.

Cudos to TTTis to make this happen, I know it was hard work..

Correct, it rests on the stop pin sleeve. The CRK standoff and lanyard pin hold the piece in place and friction between the scales keeps it locked in place.

Part of the reason these were such a pain in the ass is the thickness had to be CRK perfect. Too thick and tolerances suffer, too thin and the piece isn't held correctly.

This is a large part of my hesitation to do more, just couldn't get any machines to get the thickness perfect to satisfy my OCD.

Each piece was hand sanded to get it right to match the stop pin and standoff thickness, took a long time.



Awesome pictures. I'm really glad you guys like them. I would like to see CRK produce some after market stuff. But from what they said even keeping up with regular demand is tough.

We appreciate your efforts. It turned my EDC Sebenza into something really special.
