In the past few years I have learned almost everything there is to know about the Chris Reeve Sebenza, everything you can learn without owning one or ever handling one, at least. I've repeatedly heard about the joyfully solid heft of the knife, the perfect ergonomics, the absolute smoothness with which the blade opens, and the general feeling of superior craftsmanship that the Sebenza exudes. Needless to say I've been itching to handle one for a long time now. Unfortunately for me, no one I know has a Sebenza or knows what it is, and the same goes for the cutlery shops where I live and the cutlery shops I have visited out of state and even out of country. Finally, at a small knife shop I came upon in Boston MA, sitting all alone on the bottom shelf of the display case was a Sebenza--finally! I asked to see it, but to my great dismay I was informed that since I was under 18 I could not lay a finger on it. I had to settle for this; my dad (who knows next to nothing about knives) handling the knife, opening and closing it, then describing how it felt to me! My dad is more dangerous with a knife than I could ever be! I nearly lost it right then and there.
The Sebenza will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine, someday.
