I have a waypoint now. I love it. My blade grind is a little uneven but other then that it’s beautiful and very well done

Great review, great knife!

Great review again sir... and rest assured, im carrying "your" 21 very frequently 😉... did pollish up the washers on a strop to get the flicking game strong though! I will try to wait for a small 31 configuration i like, thank you for your two cents! Oh btw i think Adam Apurvis did do some clips for these aswell

Keep going to your videos. Thanks

They used to harden S35VN to 58-59 and switched about 5 years back, I think, to 59-60. I’ve heard that most people who have Rockwell tested their stated 59-60s (which again are all of them for the past few years) have come up at or close to 60. They do a very good job with S35VN.

Good demo with the pocket clip and jeans….👍

anyone else more of a fan of the inlays on the 21?

I've always loved the style of the Sebenza. There's something about that blade shape that I really love. Some day I hope to have one. Great review.

And I’m back for the 31 review and darn you... I’m sold on getting one now. Design is so clean without the locating hole and incrementally better knife now. Will be getting one with micarta handles for sure. Well done review. Yes, the ceramic detent ball is also on the Inkosi and was first released on the Umnumzaan.

People are probably talking about the Regular Sebenza. The Regular Sebbie blade has more of the drop/spear point shape, and the later Sebbies have more of a trailing point look (although it is a drop point). I also do see a little bit of a Regular Sebenza in it as well.

After a long time I am getting Sebenza on my radar again (had the small one in the past). Since I plan to pick the Waypoint with the upcoming drop - I would be super curios how does the Waypoint compares to the large Sebenza from the usage standpoint - how do these two cut in every day use?

I'd love to see your review of the CRK Impinda. I know it's out of their "norm" but I think it's the best looking and in some ways the most interesting CRK out there.

I have a Land 910. I LIKE !!

Yup the inkosi has that!!

What is the best place to buy a large Sebenza 31? His website directly or a retailer?

Would you recommend the small or large Sebenza 31?

Waiting on a tanto small and hoping for S45.

Great review! Just got mine, and damn...it’s stiff to open. I have read some comments about the hydraulic action, and I can appreciate it, but mine is beyond hard to open with my thumb. I have big hands too.. any suggestions to looses in up? Thx

Enjoyed your review as always. Can you tell me if the blade is satin or a stonewash? Thanks.

Is there any with flat instead of convex grind?

There's been some odd coincidences today and there's another one. A CRK is one of my grail knives and 12th Feb is my son's birthday. I can in no way afford one, but something to aim for.

Stickers are the goat

that ceramic lock face ball, is also the detent ball. I believe How is the balance?

With the 21, you were disappointed enough that you seldom carried it. This led to you sell it. May I ask what feature(s) of the 31 make it hard to stop carrying? From a looks/feeling standpoint, only the clip angle and some minor chamfering changed. I bet most people could hardly tell the difference between the 21 and 31. Surely inlays make as much or more of a difference. I look forward to hearing your opinion on what aspects the 31 have improved to get to the point of "hard to stop carrying".

@10:33 How many S45VN knives have you already handled?!?! ;)

when your land 910 is more trendy than ever!!!

Been reading about people having some lock rock issues with the 31...how's yours?

Yea ceramic ball is in the Inkosi

Very nice, maybe someday. 🤑

Someone lifted your sticker. I just received my new 31 and the CR sticker was in the box.

Got my small Sebenza with same birthday, haven’t sticker also

Is true that the heat treat on the blade is soft?

I just got to place my order for my Sebenza 31 and I can not even get an Insingo bladeshape. I am pretty sure that I have seen that bladeshape before on a Sebenza 21 and I have that bladeshape on an Inkosi so I know it exists. It seems that over the last couple of years that CRK has cut back on the amount of options available for their knives and that in itself is showing to me that the company is going in the opposite direction. It is a shame because if they truly want to stay up at the top where they are then they have to cater a little bit harder to please more of their customers. Maybe CRK has seen it’s time and people are ready to move on. This will be my fifth CRK knife and could possibly be my last. Too bad so sad!!! I have a few more likeable CRK knives that I have a desire to obtain but knowing that some people buy them and keep them as safe queens I think that I might start looking for those styles on the secondary market or with a company that upgrades existing ones and forget entirely about purchasing directly from CRK themselves. It’s just the way things go sometimes....

I just bought my first and it came with a sticker lol

oo that knife has the same birthday as me

I enjoyed the review but I still don't understand what one gets when one buys a Sebenza. It seems like a Mont Blanc fountain pen, where you are paying more for the name than anything else. Can you enlighten me?

Why didn't they fix those pointed thumb studs...love the sebenza but studs suck.

This is an example of a price based on just a name......an emerson.

For now, my LAND 910T2 M390, made by Sanrenmu, gets the closest. It was not particularly inexpensive, and it is quite derived from the Sebenza 21, but it has some fixes too. The titanium pocket clip does not rest on the lock bar, it has a steel lock bar insert with over travel stop, the lanyard post does not rattle, has a great detent, comes with left and right thumb studs and it has an M390 blade (not tested, but Sanrenmu is one of the best, if not the best, OEM factories.. Yes, Chinese).

This video just cost me 450 dollars 💵, so this month sebenza 31, the we schnex, zt0562ti and American knife works v4 your breaking me bruh lol

I bought my 500$ knife, now wheres my sticker!!!!!!

This thumb stud is machined to within one tenth of one thousandths which is very very important for a knife ... That'll be 350 please 😂 all joking aside I am impressed with the build quality of these knives but I just don't like them . I feel like for the price I really really want more , considering the vast range of bad ass knives one could buy for that money it feels like the boring stuffy choice to me.

The sebenza is way overpriced and that handle is so ugly I’d rather have a benchmade 940 for half the price and with a way smoother action and stronger lock also the benchmade 940 is considered the best edc ever made

The toxicity in your name is fitting

I cannot imagine what would justify a $450 price tag. What a waste of money.

Maybe the most overpriced thing I’ve ever seen. Liner lock, slippery handle, mid-tier steal. What a rip off. You could buy 3 or 4 quality knives for the price of one of these.

I just cut myself with the Sebenza 31 closed. Blade is so close to spline that fatty part of finger squeezed between scales and cut me. 🩹
