whos the typical strider/ sebenza owner

probably not, but the youtube vids about the opening and closing of a seb, gave me some indication of the weight and how it would feel in the hand

and how secure and tight the mechanism is

cutting with it, seems like the next step

strange nobody ever made a vid about that

ahem

i ment compare it to comparing real world filming and cg

the physics engine of the cg objects is so insufficient to make it seem real, weight, elasticity and plain complexity are still way off the real thing

if you can differentiate those fake from real characteristics in moving pictures, then it is reasonable to assume one can get something by viewing a blade at work as compared to still pics of the blade, how it handles and etc.

I'm going to guess that typically Sebenza and Strider owners don't think $400 is too much for a folder. And that they all where shoes, at least occassionally.
 
I know I purchased my Seb as it is likely the closest thing to a custom that I'd still use without hesitation(have only had one custom and got rid of it as it sat on the shelf). I also like the fact that it's so plain and unassuming that very few people outside of knife circles would appreciate it as a very high-end piece of cutlery.

If you slice a tomatoe in your kitchen with a small knife, folder or fixed, do you think
the visual experience would be noticably different than using a Sebenza?

I agree with Rich that not only will the visual experience not be much different than a kitchen knife, and will add the actual cutting experience should be about the same too.
 
LOL Who cares? "The world don't move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for you, may not be right for some......." LOL
IMHO The same kind of people who would rather drive a Lexus instead of a Toyota, wear a rolex instead of a timex, prada ..etc will prefer a high end brand knife simply because it is. Nothing wrong with it, it is they're right to do so.
"Different strokes to move the world............Oooooooooooooh" :D
 
Sebenza owners tend to be people that love knives and have an eye and appreciation for quality.

Money has little to do with it. I'm a regular guy that works a low paying job that saved up for one. I'd rather have a Sebenza that has superior quality, proven longevity and a bombproof design than four or five inferior knives.

Also, I carry and use mine for every use a folder gets daily.

Ok, I think we've getting a little bit too anal here. I can promise you one thing, it won't look as good wet as a gal in a Girls Gone Wild video.
 
over the years, i have purchased many inexpensive knives over the years. i was always in search of that one knife that was perfect for me. i never thought i would buy a knife over $100, let alone $400. then one night when i was a little intoxicated, i bought a sebbie on ebay. i was thinking, my wife is going to kill me!!!

after i got it, i didn't care if she did. i was in love all over again.

since then, i have sold the drunken sebbie and purchased another. i am now looking for another sebbie to buy in the near future.

for me, i was always in search of the perfect knife. now that i have found it, i can now start collecting.

i am not a wealthy guy. i just know quality. i have never heald a strider, so i cannot comment on those. they do look nice, just not my style for an edc.
 
some action (not Seb, sorry)
