I like the way the Sebenzas look with some wood on the handles. Is this simply glued on? I noticed from the ones I saw there were no visable screws holding the wood to the handle.
 
It is partly by fit (the inlays should stay in all on their own), but I think there is trophy tape on the back of the wood as well. They shouldn't be going anywhere.
 
Special Edition Wood Inlay Sebenza introduced in 1999

A pocket is cut into the handle of the Sebenza and a thin section of wood is inlaid into the pocket. The tolerance of this inlay is so close that you can hear a snap as the wood is pressed into the pocket. The wood is cut just thick enough that it remains raised approximately 0.06" above the surface of the titanium and it is shaped to slope gently down to create a contrast of warmth against the polished metal. For the first time, Sebenza handles are decorated on the lock side.

Production of these Special Edition Wood Inlay Sebenzas will be limited to 60 large and 60 small Sebenzas annually. Although not individually numbered, each edition will be marked with the relevant year. Most of the pieces will be made with polished BG42 blades, but a limited number will be made with damascus blades.
