Who bought this out from under me from New Graham?

I guess it is OK, saved me some $$$.
 
Sad thing about it.....Dave missed it by 30 minutes!
 
What's going on with that Seb? Something about it looks different than a "normal" Classic, but I can't put my finger on it.
 
I just saw a listing for a ''P small sebenza'' on ebay. Its serialized "P44" Starting bid $450
 
`It's a very early model 1982 ish, large, ATS-34 blade fully polished. I think the grind on these are a bit pointier.

I have numbered large P Sebenza and yeah I would say they are a bit more pointy, but what is really different is the hollow grind. It is definatley deeper and the edge is thinner than current grinds from CRK seem to be. My Small 21 from this year has a much thicker tip and edge, so much so I am thinking of sending it to Tom Krein.

Here are some poor photos of the blade (I really have to get some better photos of this beauty this weekend).






PS: I believe it should be 1992 not 82, my numbered P Sebenza like the one at New Graham is from 1992

Beautiful beautiful polishing on those blades, but the extra wide chamfer / bevel on the finger scoop really throws it off balance for me. Nice to see an early version. I'm late to Sebenza (better late than never :) ), but I can really appreciate the evolution of this knife.
