Wow….Hold on, this story has a continuation!
Honestly, I think it quite positive that the knife industry stays afloat thanks Gen Z too.
I certainly would not, not because the knife isn’t capable of handling work, but because in my mind I’d want to keep it in pristine condition and admire it more than use it for work. I’d probably make it a light user and treat it differently than a plane jane or micarta CRK. Those, I have no problem using for dirty work or sticking it in the ground with dirty hands so I don’t misplace it. But that’s just me. I guess that’s why I only have a couple of wood inlay, I really don’t use them that much.Last night I jumped at the opportunity to get a L31 in Magnacut with Macassar Ebony inlays. It's quite handsome in the photos, but now I'm wondering about the logic of the material selection. The blade is renowned for corrosion resistance, but it's nestled in a handle that needs protection from the elements. I know how to care for the wood and I won't be scuba diving with it or anything. I suppose the question is more academic. What do you guys think? Can you get the most out of Magnacut in a wood inlaid knife?
I’m so tempted to send my new inkosi to be lasered like that. Just love the look!Still my Fav CRK
There have been many reports lately of CRK shipping knives dry or close to it. I would say either break it down and give it a good cleaning and re-lube or return it. I would do the clean and lube and then just break it in. If it doesnt help its off to the mothership.Hi forum members, Iam back at BF after a long time, I recently got a brand new small Sebenza 31 with ebony inlays in Magnacut steel, the knife is perfect in all aspects but the only one flaw is the blade opening, its quite hard to open and so far different than my last small Sebbie which was buttery smooth action. The blade pivot is ok, it looks lie is too much pressure from the lockbar to the blade while deploying, or the ceramic ball does not roll, not sure if it has to roll or not on the blade, i did put some f grease on the ball but no changes.
It will smooth out with use, as you would expect, but I have yet to meet a 31 that ever gets as free and smooth as my 21s. Personally, I am not bothered by it. I think the upgrades are worth a great deal. Also, the ceramic ball does not roll. Just an FYI.Hi forum members, Iam back at BF after a long time, I recently got a brand new small Sebenza 31 with ebony inlays in Magnacut steel, the knife is perfect in all aspects but the only one flaw is the blade opening, its quite hard to open and so far different than my last small Sebbie which was buttery smooth action.

This is a cool picture.At least she sounds like she recognizes the inherent usefulness and utility that would be afforded by "two blades," as she put it, in the tanto. Pretty much a paraphrase of how I've often described it.
