The sebenza isnt that expensive......rant

[K.O.D.]

Is it really all that much?
A single night out, with a proper meal, some wine and a couple Cognac's will set you back at least as much.
The Sebenza will at least last much longer

Yes but will a Sebenza please you at the end of the night?

Wow. A lot of people in here REALLY enjoy adversarial relationships. I agree with powernoodle(except the religious comment) that I'll choose happiness with my wife over a silly knife any day. I find it sad that there's boys out there that still feel the need to subjugate women. A real man doesn't need to do that kind of thing.

True.
A man doesn't need to subjugate women any more than vice versa.
What they both need to do is to take care of the households needs first, hobbies and personal spending next.
Both are quite possible

As to the discussion above on XM's or Sebenza, that is an easy choice to me.
The Spanto XM that I have is basically collecting dust now, after the initial novelty has worn off.
It won't cut anything good, simply opening a thick cardboard box or cutting a hole in a Rockwool acoustic sealing plate leaves me less than impressed with that pry bar of a "knife"
Sturdy is all fine and dandy, but the main object of a knife is to cut darn it!
The plastic washer compared to the bronze washer in a Sebenza really speaks volumes about the two knives in my book.
A good quality cutting tool versus a hyped weekend warrior prop seems to sum it up nicely. To me.

I've never played around with a slicer ground one though, I guess I should get me one of them instead

Take my word for it.....Rick should have left the "slice" out of slicer grind.

For some reason i felt like that knife was at fault.

Replace knife with most anything else and this is the problem with society today. Can't say I'm really too sad about your loss.

A single night out where?

And yes, it is a lot of money considering the vast majority of people either don't carry a knife or won't spend more than $15 on one. A $450 knife that doesn't cut any better than an $8 Opinel is curious isn't it.

A burger at McDonalds and Natty Light makes the same turd and buzz as a filet mignon and Stella from Ruth's Chris also. Both beef and booze, same result.
