For the fixed blades:
1. Kydex sheaths
2. uncoated blades
3. a rubber sleave for the handle

For the folders:
1. NICE clips
2. ergonomic handles (or the old style back!)
3. an undecorated tanto version

What's on your wishlist?

Larry in KY · Jan 13, 2000

For me, I'd just like to see quality Kydex sheaths for the one-piece line, otherwise, I'm pleased with the folders & one-piece knives just the way they are.

Well everyone has they're favorite things and mine varies a little from yours Ralf;

But mainly I'd really like to see a more drop point version, closer to Wharncliff style on the Sebenza line, and the option of no clip or recess even, these have been asked before but if we unite, wow what a power eh?

Another fellow at work even feels that there is a knife size missing, something between the Large and the Small Sebenzas, that would be his ideal he says.

I've grown to like the new style handles, had both styles and sort of settled on the newer style.

I would also like the clip to be optional, no clip cutout or recess on locking bar for me please. That would be excellent, however it would force me to buy another Sebenza

.

How about something bigger in the one piece line? A 9 1/2" drop point with a bit wider blade than the Project knives would be very tough IMHO. Not that my Project II is lacking in any area but a bowie-type one piece would be very cool

I would LOVE a totally clipless/recessless large Sebenza!!!! I asked CRK about this and they said that the recess is part of the CNC program so it automatically does it on every handle produced. But, what I don't understand is...why not make a duplicate copy of the program and just delete/alter the program to not cut out the recess. If it is possible to add a cutout under the clip, this should be very feasible as well. It sure would make a lot of folks happy and satisfied...hint, hint....

While we're at it, how about a simple carbon fiber overlay. It could be contoured or checkered for better grip. It wouldn't need the extensive machining of the wood inlays, just slap it on and use longer screws. Also, a 4" Benz would be nicemy Sebenzas look like babies next to a large model 4.

While I agree with Gary that a semi-wharncliff Sebenza would be cool, I'll actually side with Larry. Offer kydex and leave the rest pretty much alone. Except for maybe that wharncliff thing.

Longer blade on the Sebenza and go back to the earlier blade profile too.

JoHnYKwSt · Jan 14, 2000

I believe if you wanted to, you could ask to have an old profile handle done. They still have the CNC program. Chris had some old style sebenzas at the Blade Show West. I doubt CRK will ever go back to completely making the older style sebenzas.
