This is one my favorite chore knives, a David Boye dendritic cobalt folder. I cant say I carry it often because it’s fairly uncommon and I’d hate to lose it. However, when there is work to be done this knife is the one I always grab. It cuts for days after just a few swipes on my sharpmaker and is a cardboard massacrer. If you need a real slicing machine, I highly recommend one.

X-Mas present to myself, inbound…

You’re going to like it, but I suspect the weight in pocket is going to feel weird at first

[Seul]

Thanks Doug. I think I wanted something bigger and heavier actually… Back into heavyweight jeans, and giving up on all pretense of discretion...

[Seul]

(It's actually not that much bigger than my Ti-Lock btw… Which is still think is my most beautiful knife...)

[DougNg]

I forgot you bought that thing!

[Seul]

Fucking love the Ti-Lock… It's my family dinner carrier... You want something classy but also something you might have to stab a car's tire with if they don't stop for you at a pedestrian crossing on the way over...

I’ve found shining a Surefire into their eyeballs is a lot more effective and less likely to land me in jail.

I CONSTANTLY have to deal with that horseshit walking my dogs at night

[Seul]

I did of course meant the word "tyre"… Bit tyred, entyrely my fault, do apologise...

[DougNg]

Seriously the flashlight thing is fun

Also fun for shitty kids that are taunting your dog

@Seul you'll find it's very light.  The interior of the titanium was milled out to reduce the weight and it's noticeable.  It disappears in the pocket.  The 393 is much heavier.  The angles on the 470 are gorgeous though in my opinion, it feels substantial while also being very light.  It's the 14 oz of knives.

Also, the one in your photo looks like it's from the first run.  Subsequent runs have milling on the exterior to add some grip and character.  It's not as smooth and looks nicer to me.

[Seul]

Received it today… What a wee fucking beauty... Very discrete li'l thing... Pockets like crazy... Doesn't pull or rip on my pocket... Weight is about perfect... Substantial but not heavy... Slim... Beautiful curves... Oh and it's me first flipper so I had great fun with it at work today...

Thanks @Matt !..

Fantastic.  Enjoy!

Fitted my Small Sebenza with a deep carry clip from MXG Gear. Love it!

[Anesthetist]

Oh I like that, I’ll need to look it up.

It's great. Nice, thick Ti stock and available in a few different colors–I like that the blue matches the fading blue on some of the hardware.

This clip mitigates the only thing that keeps the Sebenza from being flawless, a really crappy clip made of thin stock. Mine got bent out of usefulness almost immediately.

[Anesthetist]

I’ve never bent a seb clip but it does make the knife ride higher than I like. I’ve had one of mine almost work its way out of my pocket…

FWIW, CRK also makes an improved clip, @Anesthetist  –would post a link but I'm behind a VPN that blocks his Web site.
