Sebenza 25 Back From the Spa

[mikegideon]

Sent this back to CRK a couple of months ago. Came back looking and feeling like a brand new knife. Gotta love CRK.

 

(Yeah Willis and Kong, THAT Sebenza)

You know Mike if you keep those locked away in a safe you don't need to send them off to the spa :)

[mikegideon]

Bah. They clean up pretty nice after they have been carried. :) I just have too many knives for my pockets. Haven't even carried any of my autos yet. Stuck on my ZT framelocks.

That picture is making me miss it Mike, I may have to get another one soon!

[willis68]

I am seriously thinking about picking one of these up next

I hate to even ask what that one costs. I think my next CRK will be one of their fixed blade knives

So, I guess nobody is gonna post in this thread except the owners :)

No, because if anyone looks at that Sebenza to long they start to get ideas. :)

I was a victim as well. And, I already own a Godfather. This one was more expensive, and I got a deal at that.

More expensive? I gave that one to Steve for $75. How much did he charge you???

I carry two knives everyday.  One is my new custom, and the other is my large Starbenza (Wilson Combat version).  The Starbenza is pretty much my all time favorite knife, and I think it is the best of the production Sebenzas.  However, I do lament selling Fred my extra no lock bar stabilizer Startac.

The 25 is a GREAT knife. I just have so many that I like. Been carrying a ZT0561 lately. The Sebenza is sexier, but probably not any better for what little I do with a knife. One thing is for sure. I'll never live long enough to wear out a fraction of the knives I own. I couldn't even get thru all the ZT's.

Never been a sebenza fan really.  But they are good knives.

They grow on you :). The 25 is kind of a different animal. Has a couple of really cool things, like the ceramic ball. No worries about carbidizing, 'cause there is no titanium/steel interface on the lock.

[Capbyrd]

I greatly prefer the original or 21 to the 25.  I do not like the finger cutouts on the 25 at all.  I've always been more an Umnum fan.

You're just in a shitty mood today, right? :)

A little.  But in no way did I mean to crap on your thread!

No problem there

Will you knife guys please stop this? I can't afford another addiction.

And I just fell in love with the Sebenza.

Ah. Capbyrd will talk you out of it. :) The real beauty of the Sebenza... Kong and Willis owned this one before me. It had been carried some, and looked like it too. it was in great shape, just obviously had some use. For the cost of some shipping and some patience, they put the knife back in new condition. A lot of the better knife companies have great customer service, but CRK is king.

Yes, very good knives and service. I know of them from my brother-in-law. He is a collector of many and varied knives, Chris Reeve among them.

I do love that Startac...

I found knives to be much more addictive than guns but unfortunately no less expensive.
