I think I just made an expensive mistake.

What's 400 or 500 just compare it to a Barrett 50cal . Then it seems cheap

Less than an a nice 1911 but more than the average Glock.

Gotcha. I can completely understand. Enjoy! (I'm going up to look at your pic again!)

But that CRK will have better resale and value holding than most 1911s in the price range or a Glock.

Nice pick up, I've never seen a Sebenza like that before. I'm loving my Hinderer XM-18, but I have to admit, the tanto Umnumzaan I picked up is a slicing SOB and better than the XM in that regard. Surprised me.

Soon as you get that Sebenza though just stab something, use it. After the first cut, you'll feel better.

That is a funky thing I have noticed in the knife world. It seems like good knives always retain their value much better than most guns do.

Thanks! The Celtic knot pattern was what made it a must buy for me. I don't know why but I have always had an affinity for Celtic filigree. I have no doubt this knife is a slicing fool. I'm thinking I want to ick up an un-processed filet loan and give it a good prep with it. Then have a hell of a cook out!

Oh and I already got it! Got it in the mail this morning, The pic upstream is of my knife on my computer desk . Now to find some stuff that needs cutting. I almost used it today to cut some fuel line but I decided against it because I may use it for food prep at some point.

Beautiful sebbie may it serve you well.

Thanks! I was jealous of that Microtech you had in your avatar.

I love my Sebenza. You should also check out the Umnumzaan sometime too. I've carried the standard one for a couple of years now, and picked up a tanto version tonight. They've made some improvements to them since I bought mine and as M67 said, the tanto is a real slicer.

Ahh, thought that was a stolen pic, my bad. And yes, good knives retain value unlike guns. The second you paper a gun, even if you don't fire it, chances are you'll loose money on it. Knives, most of them you can use and still come out pretty good, if it's a hard to get knife, even if it's used, you might even make some money because of the rarity.

I have an older style and I personally like it to the newer ones. I think the old pivots look better. But that's just aesthetics, they do slice, stonewash hollow grinds

I assume you are going to change your will to insure you take it with you?

Knife porn.

i hate/envy you, i have drooled over the sebenza ever since i first read about it in an american handgunner issue, i've even seen one(yes one,it was a "lisa's pick's" and 500.00) i'd love to get one someday(the large "stars and stripes") but alas, i have kids and it'll be a few years before i cab afford that kind of money for a "stabby, cutty" thing!.

 

[Dean C.]

Thanks it is now my safe queen lol. That knife i just cant really use and not feel bad. The sad part is it has a Smokeeater908 wicked edge on it because I bought that off of him.

 

[M67]

If it's been resharpened then hell it's used. Go slice up some boxes, carve something purdy, just use the hell out of it

 

[groovatron]

Beautiful Blade for sure! Look at it this way.......at least you don't have to feed a knife with expensive ammo

I like the pivot pin on my older one (standard Umnumzaan) better too, as well as the jimping on the back of the blade. Both purely for aesthetic reasons though. The lock bar stabilizer is a really nice touch though. If it weren't for the cross hatching engraved on the side, the tanto one looks an awful lot like my Sebenza.

I took this in on trade two weeks ago from a good customer. It's new/unused and in the box. Birthday certificate states, born in May of this year. I haven't decide whether to keep it or turn it loose.

Brad, that pic and you saying "might let it loose" .... could get me in trouble. Always wanted a CRK Umnum.

On a side note, I have been carrying CRK sebenzas since 1998. Great knife and will serve you well for a LONG time.

It happens to the best of us.

Nope, I won't give in....


Nice knife btw!
