What Clip for a Small Seb Classic MM?

Vaporstang · Dec 7, 2015

I have a Small Seb (African Blackwood

) Classic MM. The clip had a lot of snail trails on it, so I figured that I had little to lose by polishing it. Well the results were kind of "meh".

1) If I buy a replacement clip is it different than a current Small Seb 21?
2) Will CRK reblast it if I send in just the clip (along with other knives that I want work done on)?

Thanks! Here are some pics of my polished clip.

Vapor,
PM me your name and address and I'll send you one. When you get it you can mail me the polished one. Or I could just trade you something for that Classic. I don't have one...

What a beautiful knife. I never really considered a wood inlaid Sebenza until I saw how this older model has held up so incredibly well. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but assuming you take Ghostwalker54 up on his solid offer, perhaps let me know how you have cared/maintained the wood inlays.

I have a second Sebenza 25 enroute to me from Knivesshipfree, I might just do an exchange for a Small Wood Inlaid 21 to compliment my Small Micarta Insigno....

Thanks! I think they hold up great, but most of my wood inlays are more collectors items. I think you can you a mild non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean the inlays. I do use Renaissance Wax to coat them.

Stunning set.

I really did wish that CRK offered the Mnandi in a Micarta Inlay. I know it's totally counter to the design/purpose of the knife, but I think it would see a lot more use.

Thanks! (I cropped the picture and it messed up your quote!).

If you end up needing to pay CRK to blast your clip, I'd offer to do it for you for free. Just send it to me, I'll blast it and then send it back

The 21 clips will work. My classic arrived in great shape, except for a marred up clip. I just sapped it with a clip from one of my users. Didn't notice any difference.

Thanks Safety! It is off to GW right now.

Thanks - I guess I was being lazy and could have tried that with my own. LOL
