After debating the mnandi and small sebenza fir momths to be my first edc I just pulled trigger on a new small sebenza! Pretty jazzed
-
Small makes a better EDC IMO YMMV FWIW.
A larger knife is intimidating in office settings, regardless of the size of the carrier.
-
I am tall but didnt feel like that justifies a larger knife… I actually carried a few different cheaper knives of various sizes over the last year to decide which I size was most comfortable with carrying, using, and felt was most versatile in everyday use... My inclination took me in the direction of the smaller of the two.

I wear this rig to the office. But then again, no one ever accused me of sound judgment.

Good choice! I've had one in my pocket off and on for about 10 years now and I have no regrets about it (them actually).

Do you all use the spyderco SM as suggested by reeve for your CRK sebenzas? Recieved the knife and overall I really like it but I can definetly say that the factory edge leaves a bit to be desired. Looked at a few different sharpening systems last night including the SM, wicked edge and edge pro. The wicked edge looks like it provides the ability to maintain the convex edge but im a serious noob to all of this and open ears to any suggestions or information.
-
Yes.
Mine came extremely sharp though.
-
I'm thinking I might just send it in to CRK to have it re edged. Kinda disappointed its already having to be done the day after I got it but I guess thems the breaks.

Cool. Yeah it's definetly not "razor sharp" I've had knives of lesser price point with a much sharper edge. I mean, its sharp enough to cut cut through paper but at a considerable greater degree of pressure and the ideal ability to shave a hair is not even close to an option. I purchased it through action concepts, who is an authorized CRK dealer. I understand your knives are sharp and that's what I was expecting as well, I'm asking for advice on how I should handle it.. I don't really want to take a chance already sharpening it myself as its a $350 dollar knife that has been carried a total of 24 hours…
-
Yeah, I knew the s35vn would keep the edge longer and like I said I'm a noob at trying sharpen anything so am reluctant to hone my skills in my new seb. I decided to just email CRK direct and see what they suggest. It might be I'm expecting more than I should from an edc. I did run a few cuts of paper from several different knives I owned to compare the cuts they produce and the seb produces a very very clean cut leaving no visible fibers where the other showed a few loose Fiberous ends under close exsmination which I assume means tearing rather than cutting is happening at some points.
Anyway I appreciate the input. Gonna kick back and just wait to see what CRK has to say.

That's what ive been reading. Any suggestions on a certain strop and video on technique or anything?
