We all love our knives and love to take pics of our new acquisitions, especially our Sebenzas. It took 25 years before I finally got a Sebenza but when I did, like most I took pictures of my new pocket treasure, I even went so far as to cobble together a 15 minute slip sheath for it.
I recently ran across those first day photos and started to compare how my Sebenza had aged in the last few years since I started carryin' it everyday. I was pleasantly surprised at the patina and character that has developed over time on both the knife and sheath. Anyway here's mine... Lets see yours
Now I know I'll see a lot of Chris Reeves knives that'll look the same as the day they were received (no judgement
) but there are a lot out there gettin' put to the test daily in a wage earnin' capacity and those are the ones I wanna see. By all means post your shiny carefully cared for and treasured CGG and your unique graphics Sebbies cause face it, if you have one you love to look at all the others so post away with before and afters, it may be added embellishments or just a new sheath post away.
Then there's the ones like me who once they get one and get past the honeymoon period put 'em to work as the name implies and in doin' so acquire a lot of character over the years, that's what I wanna see. So here's mine, where's yours?

Before and afters, show 'em if ya got em, I love how the slip sheath wore to conform to the lines of the small 21. You can see where the machine screws and thumb stud are. The clip wet formed in the sheath from a few times gettin' wet and left in the sun to dry.

, I'll admit that I'm a little jealous of your Seb, as it got older it's belly has gotten smaller....
