It's funny how hobbies can be so different from each other. A lot of musicians will pay top-dollar for vintage instruments, regardless of their cosmetic condition. A well worn guitar shows that it served someone well for a very long time.

I don't think anyone will pay top-dollar for a well used vintage/rare Sebenza. People want everything new-in-box in the knife world.

This 64' Strat is going for nearly $20,000 but that's really common in the music world. If I had 20 grand, I'd play the hell out of this thing.

I'd pay a pretty penny for an H Sebenza. User or not.

How did this guy get an early release of the limited edition Sebenza Sting Ray? There is a leek somewhere at CRK headquarters!

This guy really seemed to get the "point" of sharpening.

Two Sebenzas and a Ti Mili snuck off my desk and hid when that pic showed on my puter screen.

That Strat is not in bad condition for a '64. I'm assuming it's real and not a "relic".

Could you imagin the controversy on the forums if knife makers took a clue from guitar makers and started "relicing" knives and then selling them as custom pieces for outrageous prices?

Funny thing is, If it was done by Chris people would be crawling over each other to buy it.

Same story for Mick & Ernie.

Doing that to your Sebenza makes Jesus cry.

The knifeworld's version of the pre-beat Fender guitars is the blackwash finish.

Yep, it's a legit '64. Chicago music exchange is like heaven for musicians, they have guitars that are well over $100,000. A lot of famous musicians go there to "shop", that place is the real deal! Whenever I go there, I easily spend 5+ hours just tinkering with all the vintage stuff

I figured it'd be something in Afrikaans. Well played, sir.

A new Stabenza.

That should buff right out.

I saw that for sale "in fair condition" on Craigslist, too. It appears to be an original Sebenza, probably dated somewhere around 1995. Sad, really, but I imagine the owner got his money's worth.
