This used to be a Sebenza

Sure there is--email Reese and ask him to retrofit a new wharnie blade. :)

Can you tell me how to get in touch with Mr. Reese? Thanks.
 
I have to say this is the best looking sebbie I've seen. Great work! Is the handle comfy to work with?? It looks like it would have good grip, but if the ridges were too sharp it might dig into the hand? Still it looks increadible! :thumbup: I'm also impressed with the blade. It looks like it would be really useful for the cutting tasks I typically have. Now if only I had enough money to copy what you've done ;)

Sacrilege! Where ever would someone get such an idea :p


It really does make me want to take a Dremel to the G10 on my 806.

Very nice.
 
Not only good looking but very functional. CPM3V just keeps on cuting, but the blade geometry really looks superior. A wet , bloody , etc. metal knife with out some sort of grip enhancer is very dangerous. Sebenzas are better then most ,but that treatment is a real safe added feature. Do you so this as a business ?

Be well

Thanks for your observations. I'm a carpenter/woodworker. This Sebenza DOES cut very well and it does offer more grip retention than most framelock/linerlocks.

I have modded other folks Sebenzas, Buck Mayos and other knives. I wouldn't consider myself a "professional" I'm more of a hobbyist. I am somewhat of a perfectionist, though. In my former life if used to be a guitar builder. So my attention to detail must have carried over to my knife projects :rolleyes:

Thanks again,
Barry

Barry, how is the opening action with the thumbstuds pushed back?

Also, who did the heat treat?

Like budda. Really, the ergos on the stud is perfect. As you probably could see, that portion of the blade is elevated, both for the stud and the thumb ramp. So, the blade is quite easy to deploy.
Reese also did the heat treat.

Some of you guys know that I love Sebenzas and that I occasionally modify them.

Here's my latest, in collaboration with Reese Weiland on the blade (cpm3v)
Not exactly a wharncliffe, but I'll bet Gary Graley throws a fit when he sees it.

That handle look nice,almost just like all of my Trident Custom Knives handles and I really like the way they fit my hand.

Ciao

:cool:
 
One of my favorite blade profiles! :thumbup: Love the jimping, too.

Excellent 'clean' grind work on the handles, and I'm jealous of whoever did the heat anodizing...top notch all-around!
 
Thanks to all the new folks giving me the thumbs up.:)

And it's nice to see you, Mr. Graley, back on the forums. What have you been working so hard at lately?
 
My day job, it's consuming me, but I have the steel virus starting to come
back strong! :)
