Lofty, bit offtopic - GAK 111 mm,
I think it will be a long time to go with half-serrated blade smile


Chris Reeve made excellent knives.
I ordered one large sebenza 21,
really looking forward to sending.

No pictures yet, but I bought one of their small Inkosi models. For all of you with Sebenza's, this new model, both large and small, will knock your socks off. Chris Reece redesigned the entire pivot and it is unbelievably smoother. Even as smooth as the Sebenza is, the Inkosi beats it, hands down. I still love my Large Sebenza, but I can't help but keep flipping the blade on my small Inkosi.

I bought an Inkosi about 6 months ago. It looks like a smaller Seb 25. They are both fine knives. The pocket clip on the Inkosi is slanted toward the center of the handle.

They brought out a couple of prototypes of their latest Inkosi models with raised micarta ridges. I tried to buy one but they said they were one off's and I could order one for a 4 month delivery. I declined and bought the current one.

I still am waiting for Pappy's pictures. Sabenzas are as rare as Randalls around here, and I only know one person local who owns one. And BOY is he a proud papa.

DS, the current SAK/GAK one of the few I meant ever made.

A picture of my Sebenza with the serrations is on page 3 of this thread. I'll try and get a picture of my new one soon.

oh yah...looked at that to see his serration style before commenting on sharpening....which ideally needs two size constant diameter rods, or wheels as shops likely use...plus local pal and his pride and joy, and it IS a modern machinist work of art...but would like to see your new toy when you get a chance.....of course.

I guess you Chris Reeve fans know that Chris and his wife split up and SHE got the company!! Chris is "retired" and she is running the company's day to day operations. Apparently that was what she has been doing for a long time while Chris was traveling around the world promoting his brand. Anyway, I found this interesting.
