Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

I posted this coffee bag micarta gripped Wharncliffe a while back. Sent it to George Thompson, the son of one of Giles' friends, for a sheath to be made and some gimping to be added to the back of the blade.
Very pleased.

Next move might be a hot sauce patina.

Very nice Mike, every time I see Danbo I try to get him to trade me one. Not too successful yet. I'd also like to score some regrinds.

They don't have the best prices on knives, but they do sell the toothpick and tweezers at good prices and I always pick up an extra few when I order because I occasionally lose them

Thanks Doug!

If anyone knows of a cheap small Seb for sale… 

[Anesthetist]

Bags has a ti-lock for sale if that helps.

[Seul]

Yeah I've contacted him… The Ti-Lock didn't work when I got it through Chris a couple of months ago, but I kinda still want one... 

Here's to hoping I find my Sebbie @Work today  :o

[seawolf]

I really hope you find that knife. I would be heartbroken if I lost mine.

[Seul]

Yeah - I've not been in the best of moods since…

my daily carry is a Kershaw Leek.

Wife got it for me for my birthday…I got it engraved with the first thing she said after she saw me open it....

[Blackheart]

Oh no Seul…You lost your Sebenza? :o

[Giles]

@Blackheart:

Oh no Rafa…You lost your shirt/jacket/hat/glasses/trousers/boots/shoes again? :o

[Seul]

@Blackheart:

Oh no Seul…You lost your Sebenza? :o

Aye… Aye I have... 

[Blackheart]

I hate to hear that, hope you can find it. Maybe you dropped it at work?

[mclaincausey]

Really hate to hear that Seul.

[JamesMarg]

Can somebody explain what differentiates a Sebenza from any other top quality knife?
Keep in mind i have never held a Sebenza…

[mclaincausey]

I think it's just so thoughtfully and precisely manufactured. Great finishing.  For example the chamfering around the titanium slabs is so immaculate.  The feel of the knife is superb and they are very thin, so they aren't cumbersome as an EDC.  The detent is immaculate, the blade deploys well and the lockup is perfect.  Lock bar disengagement is terrific too.  Every aspect of the knife just seems like it couldn't have been done better.

I can't recommend it enough.

[JamesMarg]

Sounds pretty great!
Im thinking about getting one, but sourcing any knife is Australia is potentially impossible, or very tricky…

[Seul]

It says a lot that I've had one for four years, and am not even gonna try and find a cheaper alternative… Straight gonna go back to a small Seb...

[mclaincausey]

I would look around on YouTube and see some of the reviews.  Some people don't think they're worth the cost.  I actually think they're almost a bargain.  But most knife collectors have a whole lot of respect for Chris Reeve.  It is often looked upon as the standard by which other knives are measured.  I am carrying mine today.

Chris will honor the knife with a lifetime warranty. Re-sharpening, repair, replacing parts, re-bead blasting the frame. These are all things that he will do free or at a nominal cost. These knives will last you a long time and Reeve will help make sure they do.

The attention detail means everything from the pocket clip to the blade is perfection.
