Which came first, the Lochsa or the Sebenza?

[Hadji Flip Me Over]

I can't help but notice that the Scott Cook Lochsa and the CRK Sebenza look very similar to each other, mostly in overall shape, obvious differences (materials, etc.) aside. Did the two makers happen just happen to use a common design when they made their knives, or was their some "design inspiration" taken from each other?

I believe Scott Cook was once the shop foreman for Chris Reeve Knives and was thus inspired by some elements of the Sebenza, I'd assume. They are similar in ways, but two very different knives. To answer your question though, the Sebenza came first.
