it's beautiful
but the small's to small for my taste
but the small's to small for my taste
You folks are bad for me... I was happy with my Benchmades, Bokers, Bucks, and Kershaws. Last month, your evil enfluence convinced me I had to have a Star-'zaan. Sadly, I'm hooked - now I want more. I thought - a small 'benza - plain - try to find one! This one - the Star-'benza - is perfect - and only $30 over a plain - if I could find one. Good grief what a mess. They have them in stock - I know they'll sell quickly - had the guy on the phone - my MC in hand. I faltered - sanity struck. Said I had to go look at a small - true - but crazy. I'll call them back in the AM - and order one... unless... you guys buy them up and they are gone! Please?
Neat knife - I want one - love my StarTac 'zaan!

Was thinking about it, really really hard too. Then I get offered a mint Lg. Regular in BG-42.
Sorry Small Sebenza, you have much more enticing competition!
Hope they have this in stock in a few months, I didn't like the Small Regular I had, but with the pattern I might like this one better. Can't hurt to try right?

Is there any difference from the regular Sebenza other than $30 extra for grooves?

I got mine in yesterday (ordered Sunday) and had request for some pictures. All I have for a camera in my cellphone, so sorry about the quality. If anyone wants something specific photographed (or rephotographed in focus 
), let me know.
One thing I didn't notice until handling one is that only three "rays" of the pattern follow onto the lock bar, with the area underneath the clip plain. I imagine this was cleverly done so that it still clips into a pocket smoothly, but it's also something to consider for those of you who take your clips off.
FWIW, the pattern serves more as decoration than as adding grip. The rays are a little too shallow to be grippy.
(lockup came in the box at ~20% and is almost exactly 50% after opening it lots for the last two days)
^The WC logo really does appear dark in real life, almost like it's wet (it shows up clearer in the photos on the first page)
I bought the small Insingo used (thanks 5.56), so this is my first brand new CRK. The closed detent was so difficult out of the box that I couldn't actually open it one handed, but it's smoothing out already, though it's taken a toll on my thumb, despite that I've used my Insingo many times each day since I received it.
Just last week I thought a lot of you guys were crazy for buying more than one Sebenza in the same size...addictive indeed

Wilson Combat Rep,
I apologize if this has been asked but I have to ask...is there a Large Starbenza in the works? Please please please! I'm not the only one intrigued with the idea of a Large Starbenza and I'm sure it would be the all time top seller of all your blades.
Please Please Please!!!
