Small Sebenza 21 is on the way!

I'm sold! I sent in my order today for a small Sebenza 21. Heather said that it would take 4-8 weeks to get a left-handed model. How long did yours take?
 
I agree with the above post--it feels just like the classic in the hand. The differences are subtle, but very nice!

Woo Hoo!
 
I pre-ordered mine ages ago!! So, I really don't know how long it took.
CONGRATS on ordering one!! It IS a GREAT knife!!

Congratulations on the new Sebenza!

But, I don't see the point in the change unless maybe it has to do with patents.

CRK did this as 2008 is the 21st year of the Sebenza!!

Here is what CRK has on their site about it:
"The folding knife that has become the yardstick against which others are compared, the Sebenza has earned a worldwide reputation for rock solid performance and a “bank vault” feel. Chris developed the first Sebenza in 1987 and the profile has experienced minor changes over the years. After the entirely handmade version came the Original profile in 1990, the Regular in 1996 and the Classic in 2000.

2008 is the 21st year of the Sebenza and to celebrate, we have introduced the Sebenza 21—an updated version of the classic, that is easier to insert into a pocket or pouch.

From the plain versions shown here—tumbled or “stonewashed” S30V blades with sand blasted handles—to those with damascus blades and lavish graphics, each Sebenza is individually fitted to the closest tolerances. Available in large or small, and dedicated right or left handed."
 
I wish they kept the "claasic" on the one side, that was a nice detail, but it stil is a great knife.

Congradulations

Thanks, TKC! I did see that before.

The thing about sliding easier into a pocket, it's a fix to a problem that doesn't exhist. At least I've never had that problem with a Sebenza.

Maybe it is a way to get collectors to buy more Sebenzas or just stir up a little more chatter about Sebenzas... something new on the market.

It is a fine knife, but it was a fine knife before.

Thanks again,
Rich

The 21 actually feels a little better in the hand than my Classic does. The sultle differences are nice.
 
You just said a few posts back you couldn't tell the difference by feel. I mean, the shape hasn't been changed, has it? If not, I doubt there would be any noticeable change in the feel based on the very slight grind changes:confused:

I have been playing with it more since then.
 
I also find my 21 opens smoother than my Classic. I thought it was my imagination, so I sat there and opened all 3 for a bit. Yup, sure enough, the 21 IS smoother opening. God, I LOVE this knife!! :D:D:D

I can not wait for a Dog Paws version!! And there WILL be a Dog Paws version!!
 
Cool knife! Going to have to get one if my small regular explodes, gets lost, or if I have the money and just feel like it. :cool:
 
Today I went to one of the few sebenza stockers in South Africa. Boy the classic is my favorite knife of all! I handled all the knives I was interested, wanted a benchmade but they did not have what I was looking for and then I handled the classic again, I just have to save save save save till I can afford one!
