Which of the many Sebenzas and or other Chris Reeve FOLDING knives fit these criteria most :
Edge shape , see photos, (ignoring the drop of the blade from the handle on the fixed blade) similar to the Hold Out and the Japanese kitchen knife.
For those who have ignored the Hold Out it is the top knife in the second photo.
Titanium handle of course.
Rough texture such as very coarse sand blasted or power sanded scratch pattern. Im willing to listen to arguments for other handle textures. This is going to be a hard core user and will get all scratched up so may as well start out that way. Also I sense the stock natural untextured mill finish (Im not sure what to call it) surface of many of the basic Sebenzas that I see is going to be too slick for my use.
And lastly but an important aspect : Which model has the thinnest blade in roughly a 3 to 3-1/2 inch edge length ? I could stretch to 4 inch I suppose.
