Question...

Do you really need the inlay?

The titanium is pretty grippy as it is.

What do you think?

[macjmillsx]

I would say the inlay does enhance the grip... plain Ti is slick in my opinion... the inlay also looks nice and makes the knife a bit rounded.. it feels nice to hold. I no longer have this knife, but if I get another I would get the micarta inlay again.

whats the hole near the end of the handle for ?

not the lanyard hole the one before it.

[macjmillsx]

From CR site:This is a tooling or locating hole and, in the finished knife, has no real function. The process goes something like this: we buy titanium in sheet form and cut it into rectangles approximately the size of the handle. We drill all the holes into this rectangle which is then placed onto a fixture, held secure by locating pins through these holes. The profile of the handle is then machined and the rectangle begins to look like the handle of a folding knife.

People go diving with $6000 watches on, so personally, not to follow anyone else, but I'd use the CRK. I'm going to buy one soon, and will use it as a EDC. I won't try using it as a screwdriver, that's just stupidity, but I'll cut things, open cardboard boxes up, etc. I seriously doubt your going to affect Titanum handles and one of the toughest steels used in knives. The base model to me is an EDC, if it had a damascus blade,diamond thumb stud, etc, actually, I wouldn't even buy one like that.

I wouldn't say the warranty is or was the deciding factor, but it is nice to have the piece of mind that a company or knifemaker stands behind their product. It says alot about the individual, the company, and the knife itself. I believe the Sebenza can handle anything you can throw at it and I EDC mine. Warranty is just one of the things to consider when you are shelling out $400+ knife. That being said, I agree with your assessment! Good luck on your impending purchase, you will love it!!

What the hell is it with all the people who are always stuck on the warrenty when deciding to buy a knife. I have a Benchmade I carried every day for 12 years and abused it, it never failed in any way. This CRK is made even better, why would it fail. And if it did would a few bucks to fix it be that horrible. If you can afford a $385 knife I'm sure in the rare case it failed a few dollars to fix it wouldn't be so bad, and that's assuming CRK wouldn't do it for free, they most likely would.

If you broke the tip i doubt Reeve is gonna replace the knife.

I guess the knife is good if everybody is so extited about it but I don't like it.

[macjmillsx]

CRK has a great warranty, but they prolly would charge you if it was damage and not defect. I think Strider has the best warranty in the biz, if you can manage to break one they will fix it. That being said, the Sebenza is an amazing knife... every bit as tough as a Strider but more elegant I would say.

[holdenccc]

for a knife lover, both are a must buy.

offcourse, if he can afford them.

[benchmade556]

beautiful knife

[Fidelko]

I can agree with you.... its good to buy a knife as good as you can buy and USE it... no matter how often, but use it, it was not designed to be locked in a safe or ban vault ;-)

[macjmillsx]

It's a beautiful knife for sure, but it can take whatever you can dish. They look good when they show wear too.
