Tons of detail in your reviews. Thank you for the in depth reviews. Subscribed. Looking forward to diving into your flashlight reviews. Thank you!!

Incredible review! No matter what kind or type of knife you may have, our brother here does an amazing job on specific details. Thanks so much bro!

Fantastic review as always brother!

Wooohoo thanks for the full review! :D Dude that flick blows my mind, so fast la! Looks like your skin is healed! Mhmmm meaty hands

Thanks for the review, it was interesting to hear what aspects of the knife you spent time on your review. I like this knife, as the action is very predictable with no free swinging blade (since my finger has to be in the blade path a little on closing). For a work knife this seems like a good thing. And while it’s not as fun as flicking the blade out fast, the smooth action has its own good quality feel. Last, to me it’s amazing they can stuff such a large blade into the handle.

Awesome video Ben. Whether I agree or disagree I can always rely on you being a hundred percent honest.

Enjoy your videos 👍🏼. I have family in Singapore and would love to visit such a beautiful place one day soon!

I have a Macassar ebony inlaid large sebenza 31. And it took A LONG TIME to break in and be flickable. Love this knife!

Great review brother!!!

Great video. Really enjoyed hearing your thoughts and I agree with some of your points. I’ve yet to find a single knife that is perfection to me. Even the closest to perfect have 1 or 2 things that just errrrrrr me and leave me wondering why the manufacturers didn’t see it or change it. Small 31 is a keeper for me though 🙂

That nub 13:51 is what i use to slow top roll the blade out. I enjoy that nub. Definitely has a purpose. To each their own

Good honest review.

One of the better Sebenza 31 reviews I've seen. I gotta say, I thought I was the only person who was bothered by the tang of the blade protruding past the scale when in the closed position. Glad you called attention to it. Aesthetically, the knife is super clean and minimal, except for this one thing. They could've redesigned the tang, or scales, or both to completely eliminate that eyesore. Anyway, thanks for a great review.

Useful review.

The "shim" or bushing is held firmly in place by the scales when the pivot is tight. There is only one point of rotation like other knives, it's just on the bushing instead of the pivot. Nice review.

I can actually top thumb roll mine open too. This came with tons of practice and alot of time breaking in

I love it and it's the one knife for me.

Hah I was just about to message you bud, to ask your thoughts on this after having it a while. Decided to see what KZfaq reviews had to say first since I didn’t see you online

Sweet piece overall. I like the micarta inserts, blade shape, and your hawk clip. It looks extremely well put together, and finish is great, especially the spine of the blade, giving it a refined look. Something I really hate about manufacturers is that they put the clips on the knives. Some people plan to replace their clip before they even receive the knife. I always reverse the clip if it's ambi. But in either case, it gets those shiny scratches on the body, whether it's titanium, g10, or whatever material it is, and it bugs the sh!t out of me. All those particular knives in my collection have scratches on the show/lock side. If you can put that clip in more than one position, or isn't proprietary and has tons of aftermarket options, then it should come with the clip and screws in separate little packages. I consider it "damage" to the knife when I use one of their selling/bragging points, and those marks are underneath the clip. UG....LEE I was wondering what the bump was when it was closed, and thought it was a front flipping option. It could probably be shaved a bit and make a difference. May need to visit the Ben Mod Shop if it doesn't get unfriended. That feeling of the edge touching my finger would bother me. I hadn't ever considered one of those knives due to the price, but I'm a fidgeter, so it wouldn't be something I'd Love. I'd absolutely enter a giveaway for one, or pick it up off the ground if it fell off the back of a truck, but couldn't swallow the lump and actually spend the chedda for one. Maybe others' are more loosey goosey and have drop shutty-ness, but I've not watched many videos as it's not on my radar. Thanks for sharing in this slice. I hope 2021 is happy, healthy, and fortuitous for you and yours. Be safe. G4G4 BUC3!

Thank you for your videos. Do you still use your slim pickins? I just ordered a mini and I'm curious how yours is a year later. Thanks

I just got the PJ S45VN Small Sebenza. Very impressive

I have the small Inkosi and a large Sebenza. Love them both! I have to say though, the real magic is in the large size knife. I just find that I can feel the smoothness of the knife as it opens and closes. Either way, I carry one of the two every day. That’s how much I appreciate my Chris Reeve knives.

Good video. I had an opposite experience with the hawk, it pressed on the lockbar very hard. So much so it didn't make opening it fun. It also pinched closer to the scale, causing it to have no real advantage over the stock clip.

Did you polish the blade before thia review? 31 days of use and no scruff marks?

Great video. How did you make the titanium dark? I’m dying to know.

Outstanding review! Did you use oil or grease to help break in your Sebenza?

Fair comments. I am a newer Sebenza 32 guy myself.

I'm a bit surprised you would leave the house with a Serbenza, I thought the laws in Singapore were very very strict.

Hi nice video, is there a store to buy ckr or other premium knives in spore?

I got a small with box elder inlay and love it. It's light, small in the pocket, well made, ergonomic, good cutter, great looking, and it's a small gentleman's knife that can still be used tactically. The only thing is I baby it to not scratch it or lose it, but It was worth the price to me. Good review but knife problems mentioned are more nitpicky than me.

The titanium looks very dark. Did you do something to it? It actually looks very nice.

I have to do the same thing with spidercos. use the thumbnail. I just don't have the right kind of hands to flip it with the meat of my thumb. CRKs aren't really designed to "flip open" it seems. Oh it's doable, but it's designed for the slow roll it seems or they would have made the thumb stud just a little more towards the centerline when at rest so you could put pressure on it and pop it out like a benchmade. (i know they're both totally different lower classes of knives, but geometry matters when it comes to flipping open a knife or rolling it, just like you wouldn't expect to snap open a buck knife with just a flip of the wrist at all)

the micarta will get darker over time just from the oils of your hand

Great review. What are some good alternatives?

I heard that you are not supposed to flick the sebenza. Is this true?

yo super new to knives i own a really shitty manual pocket knife but i’m just curious about the knife laws in singapore: can i actually carry a pocket knife as an edc item everywhere i go? is it illegal to use or open my knife in public? what steers me away from the police and what not to do? please help me because articles online are super ambiguous hahah thank you and nice videos you got a new sub :>

They aren't spyderco. If you want to flick it open but a Spyderco or ZT flipper.

The irony of the sebenza is that it has incredible fit and finish but CRK decides to bead blast the handles. The bead blast makes it wear so much faster. Why not just give it a stone wash finish or something simple. Not sure how high Chris Reeve was when he designed the sebenza.

The inlay is sandblasted with the handle giving the inlay some grip.

Chris reeves suggests NOT to flick them.

Damn you! My Sebenza 31 was perfect before you went on your rant.

Your issues with the pocket clip.... May be more your experience than the consensus experience.
