Why Should I Buy A Umnumzaan ??

[fleegs]

What wins for me is the glass breaker and the swedge. I use the swedge on my fire steels. It works great. I was planning on buying a glass breaker and this purschase solved that need.

If I was just going to cut things only then the Sebenza would win for me.

However, I prefer to have a glass breaker and swedge on my EDC.

I had a couple of Umnumzaans.

I love the design and look. They are of the highest quality like any Chris Reeve product.

However. At my job I do alot of bending, kneeling, getting back up, climbing ladders and things. The umnumzaan kept poking me in the leg. For my daily carry it was uncomfortable. It definitely does not slice as nice as a large sebenza. I also do not like that you can push the lock bar in farther than it ought to go when squeezing the handle. I like the positive lock of the sebenza better. When it is engaged it is not going any farther in.

The bushing thing isn't a real issue to me. Strength either. Who has broken a Sebenza because it isn't strong enough?

In the end I agree with Fooj. You've got to get one already!

Mine pokes me in the leg even sitting in my office chair or in the car. However, I just "tweak" its position and carry on. I love the knife and there is no way I am leaving it at home.
