After reading some latest posts here, just realized:
I work offshore/land seismic exploration, and have seen Sebbies carried (some converted by me) by people from all over the world. Got to thinking which countries have Sebbie carriers, and believe that the Sebbie may be the most widely used folder, bar none. Some countries that I know for sure, having met the people who have them, or seen the posts, listed below. Any one else have a country to add?:)
Australia
Vietnam
Malaysia
Singapore
Maldives
China
Taiwan
Russia
Poland
Burma
Thailand
USA (duh)
Mexico
Argentina
Bolivia
Canada
Lithuania (met her)
Spain
France
Germany
India
Nepal
England
Italy
Netherlands
Phillipines
Norway
Idaho
South Africa
Japan
Scotland
Sigh...I give up....too many....:eek:
Yep...Sebbie has got to be the most world wide carried folder of the 20th/21st century. And as long as the BG42 will last, probably the 22cnd also. Nothing can beat a Sebbie for toughness and survivability (Strider folder carriers, eat your hearts out):p .

Ooops, sorry England (eh!??! they let you carry a Sebbie?) and Italy, added.

I'd be willing to bet that there are a few down in R.S.A. - you know - the land where Chris was born and raised.
 
Of course there are Sebenza owners in France : we really like high quality items, even we need to go and fetch it to the ends of the earth (ok, American people are our neighbours, we live on the same floor but this floor is an ocean !!! ;) )
 
Netherlands.

Although, you wouldn't want to buy them here.
$900 for a Sebenza in shops!
 
Philippines-->my brother-in-law and at least one other person whose name escapes me.
 
Ok netherlands and philipines. I almost forgot, I ran across a kife shop in Oslo, and a fella had one there. But like the Netherlands was around Us$500 is I rememer.

South Africa, oops..of course RVO3VOM.
Just didn't know any one personally from there who carried one.
Added.

$900 for a Sebenza? Wow! Hey Ted, the next time my wife and I travel to the "old country" we'll take a few along. We'll even cut you a price break -- only $800. :D :p

Thanks Mark, but I'm already covered with my flat-ground Sebenza. ;););) Got mine via a friend in the US. Hey, I could have flown to the US, pick one up and fly back for less money then the $900 they're asking here.!!!
I got that price from two stores I called, both say 800 euro's, which is about $900 at the moment. Totally ridicilous!!!
 
Hi Ted! Lately I'm quite often in Netherlands (Weert, Einthoven, Hilversum) and Germany (Aachen). I've asked about Sebenza in all these places and they all told me that official retail price of Sebenza in EC is 775 EUR. That's the price given by official Chris Reeve distributor in Europe ("Helle Messern" or something like that). And yes, this price is totally crazy...
 
Well, the biggest store that sells them (The Old Man) in Amsterdam actually sells 'smoking supplies' on the first floor. :D;):D
 
Oh, and Japan probably needs to be added to the list. I visited 'The Edge' in Tokyo and handled my first Sebenza there.
Don't know anyone that owns one, but they had quite a few in the shop so you would expect someone in Tokyo to walk around with one.

They also had a bunch of the Al Mar collaborations and the more common one-pieces.

Ok Ted, will give points on Japan. Have met several in my work but to be truthful, never saw one carring a Sebbie. Have seen two that were carring Strider folders though, and claimed to have several fixed blade Striders back home. May be just imagination, cause I don't know too many Japanese that carry knives, but seems they are into Strider big time.

Just a comment, I am afraid that I don't have any thing new to add to the list, but I was born and raised in Idaho and I was not aware that it was a country ;).
 
Well logan5, its like this...I figured that any one brave enough to use an id of "idahoskunk" :eek: deserves some points. So since he did request it...:)
Actually only Texas and possibly Hawaii (both my states) still have it in their constitions to have the right to cecede from the union and become a seperate nation. Although...Hawaiian legislature may have changed that condition, but when Hawaii became a statehood, I was there and think remember something in the Star Bulletin about it, ie being able to become a territory again if so voted on.
History is kind of hazy.
