This is an exceptional knife. The pocket worn finish that TK put on the handle is more comfortable than the original finish that is on my small Sebenza. There are faint scratches on the blade that follow the contour of the edge, but up in the primary bevel. I imagine this is from repeatedly wiping off the blade. The action is very smooth and there is -0- blade play either vertically or horizontally. I love the high grind on the primary bevel and the thin cross section of steel that approaches the edge. My small Sebenza has been sharpened to 30 degrees inclusive on a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker and the thickness behind the edge is .020. The large Sebenza that Tom sharpened is .015 behind the edge. All I have on hand is some paper from the printer, but the cuts from the passaround Sebenza are smoother than my small Sebenza. My arm hair acted like a pack of wild lemmings going over a cliff and seemed to jump out of the way of the edge! I plan to do more "testing" on Holloween Day before it gets dark out...
