Man, I absolutely hate the 31’s I’ve sold all the 31’s I had bought when they first came out. I’ll be keeping a hold of all my 21’s.

Sebenza with these inlays is so ugly. specially with this hole that the inlays go around. not esthetically designed.

If you would've simply made the points you were trying to make a SINGLE time this video would've been about 15 minutes long... But the amount of times you repeat yourself and go over the exact same points 100 times is a complete headache.

Not all Sebenza 31s have lock rock. I have 2 large and 2 small all with different blade steels and mine don't exhibit that condition.

@LAG3 11 күн бұрын

I have owned a 25, two Umnumzaan, and two small Inkosi and never had any problems with blade play. I've owned at least twenty other CRK Sebenzas and no blade play. If there were any issues I would not buy or keep any more of them. IMHO that's what sets CRK apart. I've had many expensive custom folders with lock issues. It's completely unacceptable to me. I believe many of these things happen to just a few people but it gets broadcast everywhere and people just accept it as a fact. I agree with you.

Can't you just send it back and have them smooth it out for you? Not that you should have to but even the best brands have a few lemons slip through...but I'm more than sure they'd take care of it for you.

A divot that deep in your blade tang is NOT normal. That looks like someone did a spine wack test and the ceramic ball dented the steel. The ceramic ball should just be slowly polishing a mark into that tang, that is all, not making a deep divot.

HA! Using a Pelikan 600 fountain pen to point to your Sebenza! LOL. I have a knife/ pen addiction too!

Why does the handle cover part of the grind? Usally thats a sign of a counterfeit

I own this knife and as a chef it cuts like shyte. It has a very steep chisel grind which is fine but it needs to be way higher on blade stock to be functional.😢

@alfknives Жыл бұрын

I was looking for a folding knife that lasts for a long time and doesn't rust. Finally, I got the knife that met my expectations. This knife doesn't rust for 2 years. I am very glad the blade is the same sharp as the first day it was. I bought it from Alf Knives and am thinking about buying another one for my little brother.

@storiesfromthestudy669 Жыл бұрын

They have made further changes to the Sebenza 31 design now, by moving the lock-bar cut-out farther forward on the lock bar. This is now another difference between the Sebenza 21 and Sebenza 31 - the position of the lock bar cut-out. By doing this it lowers the amount of up/down flexion possible by the lock bark, and increases the amount of force required to flex it at all, thereby largely removing the concern. As the one in the video is one of the first Sebenza 31s produced, they hadn't contemplated this change yet. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@LAG3 11 күн бұрын

@@storiesfromthestudy669Thanks for the clarification. I just purchased a Small Inkosi. It's very smooth and has no blade play or lock rock. IMHO that's what sets CRK apart. I can buy a small frame lock for around $100 without any blade play. I think it's important that you clarified your 31 is one of the first.

Are you sure that the blade thickness is the same on the small and large? I have heard different from multiple sources

@storiesfromthestudy669 Жыл бұрын

Please watch the second video - I give a correction at the beginning. In old fashioned measurement the blade thicknesses are both listed as 0.12". In metric they are 3.04 mm thick for the small, and 3.07 mm thick for the large - a difference of 0.03 mm or 0.0012" in old fashioned measurements. :)

Hey great video! I have a question, I've noticed a discrepancy on two of my 21s. The lockbar has the chamfering similar to the 31 on inside lockbar surface but not on the outside so it doesn't come to nearly as close a point as yours. Also the hole in the show scale of the same knife has much narrower chamfering around the hole itself. Curious what's going on. Thanks

After chasing my tail trying to get a strider, CRK it is! I’m on the hunt for an engraved 31, natural micarta 31, or umnumzaan. I’m really jonesing to feel a crk in hand. A knife that my grandkids will use the cut the huge balloon string, sending my body into space. In all seriousness, a lifetime knife 😂

Inkosi means King or Chieftain in Zulu,sebenza means work,to those of you who do not know Chris Reefe is South African he is from the Natal province where the Zulu tribe reside .CRK made in the USA by a South African,you can’t get any better than that!

@billythekid7413 2 жыл бұрын

30:08 you state, "all Chris Reeve Knives have that." Referring to lock "flex" you referred to when pushing on the spine of the blade and the handle secure on a flat surface. To clear things up, this is simply not true. My Sebenza 21 does not have this one bit as the 31, or any cermanic ball interface knives from CRK. My 21 is absolutely rock solid.

I learned soooo much from this video. I've hesitated getting a 31 but right now I'm beginning to reconsider. Next I'll watch your four month video just to see what your opinions are. Thanks for the time and effort that you've put into making this. Like I say I have learned so much!!

@photoman12001 2 жыл бұрын

Good video, thanks. I’ve got a bunch of CRKs including many Sebenzas (21s, Classic MMs, Regulars) and been considering a small micarta 31. I think you’ve you’ve convinced me to get one. A small 21 micarta Insingo has been my favorite EDC folder for several years now. We’ll see if the 31 can compare. It’s interesting that the 31’s canted clip is causing a hot spot for you. I believe CRK introduced the canted clip on the Inkosi due to hotspot issues with the straight clip on the Sebenza 25. I use a Hawk clip on my 25 to eliminate the hotspot. I also use a Hawk clip on my EDC small 21. I’ll have to see how the clip on the 31 works out if I get one.

During the pandemic there was a boom in knife collecting and in Chris Reeve Knives' sales... and a corresponding increase in KZfaq videos about them, so I felt there was so much out there, that my videos would get lost in the sea, or wouldn't have much to add. I may come back to it at some point if I feel there is something useful i can add. Thanks for asking!
