What year did Knife Arts CF Sebenza start production?

[bvo85]

I am very interested in a CF sebenza but I strongly dislike "made in Idaho" markings. I know I'm in the minority and don't want to rehash that one!! But I wonder if there's any pre-Idaho CF ones out there for me to try to find? Everytime a CF sebenza goes up for sale, I click the posting and examine the pictures for the Idaho stamp. If they didn't make any pre-Idaho CF sebenzas, then I can save myself a lot of grief!

The 1st batch of Lg. Numbered was sold in Oct 2011

They did. I had one and sold it. Seemed unusual, but some definitely slipped out before all the "pre-Idaho" slabs were used up.

Interesting-I wonder if that was a pre Idaho Made slab or one from the Idaho Made era that didn't get stamped? Seems rather late to be Pre Idaho Made.
End result the same, but 2 different paths there possible.
Did you ever check the slab date?

It was A10, according to some PMs I exchanged with folks that were interested in buying it...

So, slab made before the Idaho era, I believe.
