No, I build movie sets, I can't take pics due to NDAs.
Oh? Do you build them with a pocket knife? Which one? This we'd love to see.

Personally I wouldn't bother for a number of reasons, but if you're a light use kind of guy then it probably has a place in your pocket, if not your collection.
It's like a Rolex Submariner, you'll never take it diving, but to you it looks good on your wrist.

I think even expanding on that, like a Rolex there are alternatives that will cover every practical, useful aspect as well as a Sebenza. But, the alternatives lack the beauty and craftsmanship of either the Rolex or Sebenza.I think the comparison to a Rolex Sub is justified; however, not for the reasons you mention.
I have been wearing the same Rolex sub at least twice a week since 1978 (model 1680) and it still keeps time to within 2 sec/day. And yes...I've worn it diving, etc. Same can be said of my 1999 Sebenza.
Both get trips to "the spa" about every 5 years.

Have also “hard used” my CRK’sIn post #59 Eversion has “hard used” his sebenza...that is not a day to day use. Or light.
In post #46 my Large Insingo 21 has taken tumbles off roofs to the ground below. The swedge has been used to pry off paint can lids that have been dried shut. I’ve pried a 3 foot x 3 foot hardwood floor panel open(with subfloor attached). It “drilled,” shaped, and cut multiple materials including wood and plastic. The butt of the knife has been used as a makeshift mallet/hammer when need be.
Im not sure if this is rated “hard use” or “hard misuse” in your books, but this Sebenza is as solid as the day I bought it. Mind you, it does need another sharpening...I’ll do that this weekend...
Sorry, I don't follow, are upset that we're not discussing the relative value of totally unrelated knives on a post about the relative value of the Sebenza?Amazing ,this sebenza battle, and not once unless ive missed it does someone mention or complain about the weird screws used by Shirogorov, and the prices that Recon 1 has on them;700-1100 and up from there, and theres some short knockdown drag out posts but never as heated as all the Sebenza posts.Same goes for Koenig knives,too. they started at 500-550 ive seen them now for 750-1200 without a thing mentioned about " is it worth it".Only the Sebenza gets regularly hit with the is it worth it posts....
CRK is an essential food group to a balanced healthy knife diet
It’s nutritional science

What about all the people that copy the Buck 110?Sorry, I don't follow, are upset that we're not discussing the relative value of totally unrelated knives on a post about the relative value of the Sebenza?
I surely hope you mean the German domestic market ones!I call my Sebenza “Benz”. Because I see them as the Mercedes Benz of the knife world.
