The Classics are my favorite Sebenzas.
I'm pretty fond the Blade HQ exclusive carbon fiber inlay one as well.

My photos certainly are not the quality of those already posted by photoman12001 in this thread. But they are of my pair of "special" (to me) "Sebbies."

Both sport BG-42 blades. The Large (which is what the model was called back then) is a 1998 vintage I bought new that Matt Cucchiara customized for me in 2004 with the scales treated to a mild blue heat coloring, edge meltdown, and a "fizz" elongated spiral galaxy decoration. The Small is a 1999 box elder wood inlay, 1 of 60 made for the first year Reeve offered Small inlays. Convinced sheath maker Gary Graley (aka "G2") in 2002 to sell it to me. I'm very fond of both, much preferring this style of handle to newer versions.

If you're only going to have two, that's a nice pair to have.

Thanks, I've been using my phone far too much for photos over the past few years. I recently got some smaller/lighter photography gear that I'm more likely to carry & use so I've been testing it on my knife collection. My Nikon system is just too big & bulky so I never use it.

This is a neat one I picked up a few weeks ago. It has leather inlays in the titanium.

The Ti-Lock got a new clip from Millit. I think it matches pretty well.

How do you like it? I snagged a Green Beret 5.5 for a good deal a few months ago but I’m not really all that fond of it. I love their folders but their fixed blades never hit the mark for me.

I’ve only had it a couple of days so it’s seen no use yet. Overall, the palm swell handle fits my hand very comfortably and the fit/finish is what I expect from CRKs.

It would be very difficult for me to choose a favorite CRK. I like the Sebenzas (21 & prior), Unmunzaans, & Inkosis both large & small. Qualifying a user vs strictly collection piece narrows it. The red micarta inlay large Sebenza 21 shown with the P239 might be my favorite user. In fact, if I could only have one folding knife that would very likely be the the one chosen. I have a user Umnumzaan that I'm very fond of as well.

I just picked up an Umnumzaan after being without for several years. I hope we bond or I'll remember why I let it go the last time.
