Up for grabs is a used small Sebenza----S35VN blade with plain titanium handle. It locks up solid and is a nice blade. Only SOLD paypaled and shipped. (If you think I'm off, make an offer)
Why so cheap? Here's the details:
- The biggest thing is the tip was broken by the first owner (no clue who it was). At first, I thought it was just a little chip off the tip (there IS that--it would probably sharpen out next go around) but upon further inspection, there was actually a slightly larger part that was broken and repaired (see pics).
- Whomever repaired the tip actually did a good job reshaping--but there are sanding marks on the spine
- The thumb stud was sanded down a little to be less pointy
- No box or paperwork; I'm the third owner and all that stuff has been lost to the sands of time
- the knife is perfectly functional and IMO the reprofiled tip doesn't impact the performance at all
So if you want a Sebenza on the cheap and can live with a slightly reprofiled tip and a less-pointy thumb stud, this is the knife for you
If you feel I'm off on the pricing, feel free to make me an offer. I don't want anyone to feel I'm ripping them off or they're getting a raw deal. If you feel you need additional pics, just ask. I've described and photographed everything I can think of 
First unequivocal "I'll take it" followed by an email or PM has precedence over offers. Please keep any questions, comments, offers, or jokes limited to email or PM. I will probably ignore public offers made in the thread.
Prefer to keep this domestic but willing to ship international if paypal gift is used and buyer picks up all additional shipping costs. Thanks for looking!
The knife. There's a little water on the scales--not warping or anything (it was raining before I snapped the pics )
Tiny chip off the end
The blade
"Artist's" rendition of what I THINK the blade used to look like based on pics of other small sebenzas--as you can see, there's not much broken off
Sanded thumb stud
Sanding marks on the spine (toward the front)
Lockup and centering--both seem good to me
