OK
I have been carrying a Small Sebenza for a while and am very happy with it.
I have had many other knives which fall in the 3.5 in range and usually
they just are too big for comfortable clip in the pocket carry.

Does anyone have any pics of these two side by side open and closed for comparison?

I think many of the knives Ive carried larger than the small Sebenza have been too wide
(Emerson, Strider among many others)

I just have an itch for a new CRK and am debating between the Umnumzaan and perhaps one
of the small Sebenza's which have the Carbon Fiber on the front.

Thanks!
Jeremy
 
This might be of some help.......

Busy picture, but here is my vast collection of CR folders - with a Buck 172 and a Benchmade 480-1, too.

The StarTac Umnumzaan is decidedly larger than the small Sebbie, making their ownership appropriate as there is no 'size' duplication. Of course, I'm still rationalizing the purchase of a large Sebbie...

Thank you very much!
I guess I am going to order 2 Small Sebenza's
One partially serrated and one Insingo. I may
actually order one I found that has Carbon Fiber on front.

I need a Mnandi as well.

I am also looking at a couple William Henry knives. Id love to hear
what other CRK owners think about WH for another smaller EDC?

I like to easy be able to carry a nice smaller (3 in max blade)
clipped in my pocket.

Even just ordered a smaller Emerson and Zero Tolerance for
when I need something more utilitarian but still want smaller.

I go through periods where I do not buy anything new for MONTHS
then I go crazy! I only buy things I will actually use anymore.
 
I would also love to hear about WH knives. I have a small Insingo and love it! - I have removed the clip and the lanyard and it's my new EDC. I'm sure a Mnandi will follow as well!
 
I didn't think the small was all that small until I had it in hand. While its still plenty of knife it was too small for me. With that said if you are used to a small my personal opinion would be the Um will be a monster
 
Thanks!
The Umnumzaan is a great looking knife
but with already having my wallet and keys in my L front pocket (where I clip my knife)
a pocket pistol in my R front pocket and if not carrying pocket my phone is there.

Since I carry on my L side and since often I use my knife with my L hand I may actually
get a lefty!

I still can't get used to simply carrying on my belt versus in the pocket.
Just draws too many stares. Surprisingly more people are like why do you
have that when I have a knife on my belt but rarely does anyone comment
or question when I have a pistol on my belt.
 
The lock system really sets it apart and from my limited time with it in hand I do not know of a way to conveniently unlock one handed. The clip is also different than the style of Seb or Um if I remember correctly
 
I had a chance to handle one and while the knife and lock are very interesting and beautifully made, my feeling was that it was not the sort of knife I'd feel all that comfortable with. Big YMMV there, though.
