Which would you buy?

[stabman]

Umnumzaan.

 

[wuyeah]

Sebenza over Umnumzaan for me.

 

[Zookie]

Umnumzaan or strider. I love both.

 

[kda89508]

I would get a XM18 Hinderer or get Alan Davis to make you one like you want steel, lock, handle and all! Good Luck! Kevin

Of the ones you have to pick from either the Reeve or the Strider.

Another vote for the umnumzaan here!

 

[Jaiofspam]

i vote the zaan

 

[stabman]

If you go SmF, get the CC or DGG versions.
The "Lego" grip is rather blocky, and ain't that comfy for extended use without gloves.

 

[razorsdescent]

the 19, just an amazing looking knife.

Chris Reeve Umnumzaan

 

[twid]

If it's going to be carried and used often I'd pick the Umnumzaan. Having owned one and the SmF, the blade profile of the Umnumzaan better suits my needs as a cutting tool. The others are a waste of money unless you just want to collect unique knives.

[Stelth]

I'd get the Strider.

 

[Insipid Moniker]

I'd get the Model 19. I'm a big fan of pistol grip knives.

 

[Matador]

#6 Something by Burchtree or Sniper Bladeworks. I own plenty of Strider's (great knives btw), but if I were to do it all over again, those latter two would be my first choice.

 

[Packna45]

SR1 gets my vote.

 

[viper89]

I think I would like to try the Lion Steel SR1 Damascus. Been wanting to get one for a while but still unsure about it.

 

[cutter17]

I personally prefer this one...

Just got an SR-1-Bronze, and want the SR-1 in Raindrop damascus, so I'm obviously going to say the SR-1 Damascus.

 

[jakeyjake4528]

id go with the RC, guess im the only one who likes it!

my reasoning is not only do i want one, but their just isnt much else out there quite like a warren thomas.

 

[cutter17]

If you do like the profile of the Sebenza and it is the plain handles you don't like then take a look at the wood insert models. Though the wood only sticks out a fraction of an inch from the ti handles, it is enough to feel a difference and really gives it a great feel in my opinion. There is also the black micarta insert version that would give a bit more tactile grip to the hand. The snakewood insert models I've seen lately look to have some premium inserts with the snake markings giving great contrast.
Thought I would add some pics of the Sebenza's I'm talking of.

Micarta Insigno

Bocote wood,

Gabon wood,
