got this beauty today. those who read the heritage post might have seen the article about this knife in edition no. 2/2012 on page 144. The blacksmith, Yannick Epiard builds the blades from railing steel dated 13th-15th century, which he found in the cathedral in Reims, France…wow...he got the inspiration of this "piemontais" from an extremely rare find from diggings near a cathedral in London, which seems to be the oldest known pocketknife to date.

A knife from the middle age, back to the roots guys

I like Mr Reeve's attitude and demand for perfection into his knives. Wow, thx for sharing Shane

That knife is really neat Davito, would really like to see it in person!

CRK had a DVD set that followed the manufacture of their folding knives and their fixed blades that was pretty fantastic. Really interesting stuff. Even went into Chris' life history

Ok, I think I'm convinced I need a Chris Reeve knife. Someone tell me where the best selection can be found…

Unfortunately, I don't think they're sold anymore

Is the Large Sebenza too big for EDC?

[Seul]

Nah I don't think so… I have a small one cause I have girl hands, but I'm sure the large one isn't too much at all... Really a discrete piece the Sebenza...

Fuck I miss mine... Only about three more weeks...

It's a big knife, really depends on you and what your looking for. The Ti-Lock is my favorite CRK

[DougNg]

Truenorthknives.com also has a good selection

As for size, depends on your intended use and what you're comfortable with. For extended use, I like a 3.5"-4" blade. That's if I'm cutting stuff for more than ten minutes. Most tasks can be handled with something smaller. If you're only going to cut your sandwich in half or open a box or two, 2.25"-3" is what I use

Smaller knives are also easier to carry and alarm people less

d666: I'd love some (no, not some, TONS OF) pics of the Ti-Lock… Yeah I could Google it, but you take fab snaps and I've been in love with the Ti-Lock for so long...
