Over the last few months, Chris Reeve has come out with a bunch of great new styles: large insingo, small insingo, Nyala, Large tanto Sebenza, small tanto Sebenza. These are all great knives, but I am really hoping for a Small Umnumzaan (or maybe even a medium Sebenza). I love my small 21 Sebenza, but a Chris Reeve folder with a 3.2 or 3.3 inch blade would be the perfect knife for me.

Am I the only one?
 
Your not the only one that wants a small umnumzaan, there is a huge list of people clamouring for one. The new folder they are coming out with later this year ( hopefully ) looks really cool. It was sad to see the OPR go, but it has given CRK the time and resources to create different designs. Since I already have a umnumzaan, I would probably pass on a small umnumzaan initially and go with the new folder.
 
A small Umnumzaan would be great, but I would like to see a Sebenza with a 3.75"-4" blade. I have read that there is a fat chance of that happening, but still, I would like to see it.
 
i would be kind of sad if one came out because i would have to drop a few hundred on one. if you come out with one give a good warning so i can save up for one!
 
If the day ever comes, I'll buy one for sure. But, until that time, I guess I'll just have to make do with my TNK tanto:)
 


If you have not done so yet, I would suggest listening to the interview with Chris Reeve (click on the 2nd link). It is a great interview.

CR said that there will be a small umnumzaan, but not until he can recover his investment in the tooling costs for the Large Umnumzaan.

Come on everyone. Buy more Larges, so I can get my Small.

I've listened to it a couple times, and that's why I've been so hopeful at each of the last few Blade and Shot Shows that a Small Umnumzaan was going to be released. Chris even broaches the subject himself when asked about embellishment options for the Large Umnum, saying that a smaller version would come before those options would be available for the Large Umnum.

I would have to think that if Chris mentioned without being prompted that a Small Umnum would be offered, that we have to be getting pretty close to a release now 2+ years after the introduction of the Large at the 2008 Blade Show.
