Umfaan

[giant1]

Been looking at some Umfaans via the web. They look very similar to a small regular Sebbie to me.

Can someone please eloborate on the differences between Umfaans and Sebbies.

Thanks in advance
Frank

The Umfaan is smaller, a mini sebenza.

the small sebenza is, well, small. the umfaan is tiny.

Measuring my large Sebenza and Umfaan:

blade - Seb 3.5" --- Umfaan 1.25"
handle - Seb 4.75" - Umfaan 3.125"

1.25" blade? not 2.25"?

To quote Chris Reeve’s literature:



The Umfaan will fill a variety of roles --

a perfect gentleman's knife for pocket or briefcase
an elegant lady's knife for pocket or purse
an ideal knife for cutting the caps off cigars
substantial enough to work hard
small enough to carry and use everywhere

I'm glad Mr. Reeve came out with the Mnandi.
