![]() Indeed there are two thick pieces of 6Al4V titanium here and they have been given a nice sandblasted finish. One of the great draws to this knife is that the handle slabs have been made entirely from titanium. This is certainly a welcomed addition, and it’s great to see how CRK continues to refine and upgrade their knives. As of mid-2011 Chris Reeve has started making Sebenzas in S35VN, a slightly upgraded version of S30V. If you are already reading a Sebenza review I think an in-depth discussion of S30V is probably unnecessary, but suffice it to say that this is a very fine steel with excellent all-around properties including good edge retention and corrosion resistance. Being a classic drop point there is plenty of belly for your EDC tasks, and the entire blade has been given a nice durable stonewashed finish.īlade steel on my Sebenza is the tried and true S30V. The blade manages to maintain this thickness well, eventually tapering down to a sturdy point. Blade stock is 1/8″ thick, which is nice and stout for a smaller blade like this. The knife has been given a high hollow grind (a very shallow one) and the spine has been rounded, a very elegant touch. This is a great size for EDC and that is exactly what this knife was designed for – to be a high end edc knife. This knife has an overall length of 6.9″ a 2.94″ blade and a weight of exactly 3 ounces. The small Sebenza 21 is the little brother to the large Sebenza 21 (no surprises there, right?).

You and me, about to discuss the Small Sebenza 21 made by Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) which retails for right around $350. Any reservations I once had about owning a $350 knife soon went out the window. However, as I wandered down the rabbit hole, and became further consumed by my blade obsession, justification for more expensive knives became easier to find. Well, at least I didn’t start out my little edged adventure with the thought of purchasing a $300+ knife. I don’t think many people get into the hobby of collecting knives with the idea that one day they will buy a pocket knife that costs hundreds of dollars.

When you review the sebenza folding knives, you notice that some have graphics machined into the handles and then either color or texture contrast provide a visible enhancement.
