  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What did you use your sebenza for today?

I am really partial to the Insingo blade shape (have both Inkosi and Seb 21), I would really like to try a tanto; I think my biggest hesitation is sharpening one.
If you use your knife for general utility and don't really care about things like "food prep" they're worth a try. Sharpening isn't near as bad as people think, it just takes longer. I like to tape off my forward edge so I don't round off the secondary point then I sharpen the main edge on my Sharpmaker, then I take the tape off and sharpen the forward edge freehand with my rods laying flat.

Did a service upgrade/changeout this afternoon. Stripped romex (new and old) and 3/0, added new circuits for future addition and rewire. Cut cardboard template, cut jetline to help fish an old wire in, sawed a little bit of paneling to make new panel fit, and cut my finger then made a bandaidF00F1AB1-6D79-45C8-B48B-037A7EE9626E.jpeg259C9954-5CB3-4F1C-AD39-E86DC214B95C.jpegA09ED5B4-AEA0-49CA-9890-FACF75FE5D15.jpeg3702E69A-4065-4F2E-B04E-78C7CE0F2093.jpeg9907176B-3F1B-4A11-A826-39ADCF9AAE4B.jpeg9180AA54-8F91-434E-AE8D-B964ED54761A.jpeg5ED2990E-2CE7-4F37-B80C-850E18C35F58.jpeg19C24570-DCFD-40D8-857C-026B92426B16.jpeg6C5B4F46-41DD-47C4-96BC-DB25379545EB.jpeg7B7116AE-4872-48D0-B4C0-2F321911741C.jpeg
 
First Sebenza arrived yesterday brand new
(LH) Small SEBENZA (31) Natural Canvas Micarta
Used it today for continued development of "Sebenza Thumb" :D

EDIT: First thing was taking it apart, deburring and smoothing the washer faces on a ceramic stone and re-lube. When horizontal with blade open and lock bar pressure is released, blade DROPS. Awesome !!! ... but detent is strong with this one.

I just took my large inkosi to 20 degrees per side with a 21 degree micro bevel. Hoping the edge lasts me a long time. Sharpened down to 6 micron...
