Cherish my Seb, Strider, Microtechs, and William Henry. All fantastic knife companies.

Glad that you've come over to the CRK camp! The Seb is a subtle knife, and a lot of people who buy one are disappointed because they don't know what to look for. It's not a balls-out tactical machine like a Strider, or a bejeweled piece of eye candy like a William Henry, or a badass-cool automatic like a Microtech Halo. It's a pure, minimalist cutting tool made of the finest materials to withstand the harshest abuse, with unparalleled precision of craftsmanship.

Directly from Heather at CRK:
"As for the flicking issue, what we discourage is the continuous (almost obsessive) wrist flicking that a few knife owners do over long periods of time. An example of this is wrist flicking the knife continuously while watching NASCAR every Sunday. Chris actually encourages a bit of wrist flicking especially when the knife is new or newly cleaned. It helps the lock settle."

its nice of you to reassure me because I did buy a large 21 and did sell my alias. You are absolutely correct there is no comparison. And the fact that flicking it doesnt void the warranty is great to hear as well. I have heard that rumor was crap and its nice to confirm it. I would have bought one anyway because in the end I told myself I had to have the best. Appreciate the insight.

@SUFFOCATIONFAN Flicking of any kind, even wrist flicking, is NOT forbidden. Heather at CRK said clearly that thumb flicking is always allowed, and occasional wrist flicking is okay if not taken to extremes. In fact, Chris himself encourages a light wrist flick after every cleaning and reassembly, to seat the lock properly. However, if you wrist flick every day for five years and send your damaged knife back for service, CRK will likely claim your warranty voided because of user abuse.

@SUFFOCATIONFAN The Alias is a nice piece, but it is far from the same. Most people misunderstand what the Sebenza "is", and you can't just take some titanium and S30V and expect a Sebenza-quality knife to come out of it. CRK's manufacturing is key: their blades are ground with a tolerance of .0005 inches- that's 1/6th the thickness of a human hair. That's why a Sebenza feels the way it does, and why it's so reliable. No other knife can compete with a genuine Seb- except, maybe, the Umnumzaan :P

This reply is way late too, but flicking really does void the warranty, I have heard (well, read) it from chirs reeve. I am not 100% whether flicking refers to this, or flicking with your wrist, but I wouldn't do it untill you find out.

I also bought a Bradley Alias I Satin Plain a few months ago. Although it doesn't share the same mystique that Reeve's finest seems to have, I prefer it as a daily use knife for several reasons.
The narrower blade on the Alias is more suited to slicing, which people tend to do a lot of. The handle/blade angle is significantly more ergonomic. The Alias has a earlier lock-up, which points the blade downward in your hand. The Sebenza is very much a straight line piece.

I have a Large Regular Plain and a Large Classic with African Blackwood Inlays. I'm working on getting a Small Regular plain.
Sebenzas are simply amazing. No knife I've handled feels as good to use, and very few knives will last as long (or longer) as you. I've always said that when you buy a cheap thing, you get a cheap thing, and I'm very confident in the expensive things that I buy knowing that the people who make them have a passion for creating the best tools they can. CRK's passion shows.

Thats good to know. I love knives and its nice to know someone whose a little more familiar with chrise reeve stuff could set me straight. Do you own a sebenza? because I've thinking about one myself. Not a showpeice like the one in the video but a bare-bones job. My best blade is a bradley that I bought as a way to cheap out. I hear there is no comparison, any thoughts would be great. Cheers buddy
