What is the difference between a Regular and Classic Sebenza?

sygyzy · May 27, 2003

As the subject says. I am looking into picking one up but don't know what the differences between the two are? Hope someone can help. TIA.

I'm no Sebenza expert, but here it goes...

The classic Sebenza has somewhat of a circular cutout so you can disengage the lock a little easier. The handle shape is a little different and the blade is just slightly longer.

The standard Sebenza's blade is not as pointy as the classic's and the part where you disengage the lock isn't as circular (might not really matter as I've tried both styles and I could disengage the locks just as easily on both of them).

Take a look at CRK's website (www.chrisreeve.com) because they have some pictures of both styles.

Hope that helped a little.

Thank you very much sir. That helped immensely. I will inspect the site more closely. Do you have a preference?

I prefer the regular myself. I'm not sure why but I do.

I wanted a classic sebenza with the regular blade with more belly but CRK won't do it. Still my best carry knife like my Buck- Mayo.

This same issue was the subject of a fairly recent thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=195392. I hope it helps. For the record I prefer the regular design. I have to small Sebbies in that pattern.

I prefer the regular/standard style. I have a large and small Seb, both standard, and they're great.
