The more I learned about utility folders, the more convinced I became that a Sebenza was the ultimate everyday carry knife for me. Might as well bite the bullet, get it over with, no regrets. I'd carried a GT button lock, about the same blade size as a Large Sebenza, until it developed the annoying habit of escaping to the pavement by burrowing through my pants pockets. It doesn't have a pocket clip, and the handle is uncomfortable.
Lets give this some thought. Ambitextrous thumb studs make a lot of sense. Now I'm facing a four to six month wait for a special order, and the price is up to $376.50. Really, a Small Sebenza is more practical for everyday carry in my environment. Sebenzanistas have commented that the Large can be a little too big for pocket carry. My experience with the GT has been that it attracted more attention than I wanted, so I tended to avoid using it around "sheeple". A Small Sebenza would be more acceptable, thus more practical, and it's $40 less expensive.
Damn, that's a lot of money for a small knife. For that much I could buy a Benchmade 705, a Sharpmaker, all the Sentry Solutions stuff, and a Microtech SOCOM M/A. The 705 is functionally identical to the Small Sebenza, and I'm really jonesing for a SOCOM.
Here I sit happily flicking the blade of my homely peanut of a 705. I look over at the SOCOM and unconsciously make those Tim Allen grunting noises. All my knives are sharp, lubricated, and rust proofed. Where did I go wrong?

Bemused, wary, intrigued
