The Chris Reeve Integral Lock Folder series has long been considered to be the standard to which all other production folders should aspire. Combining excellence in craftsmanship with the latest in materials and quality design, the Sebenza is a rugged workhorse of a knife that has built quite a following.

From Chris Reeve - "...My first impressions of the liner lock style locking mechanisms were very favorable but when I examined it more closely, I decided that I didn't much like the flimsiness of the thin liner. After some thought, I redesigned the concept and have created the Sebenza Integral Lock© which I believe to be the most rugged folding knife on the market.

My one piece knives have achieved popularity as strong working fixed blades through simple, effective design, and the Sebenza is a folding knife to complement them. I have put a great deal of thought into the different features and know that this is a knife which will work hard, keep a good edge and will be easy to maintain.

Each knife is supplied with an Allen wrench which can be used to dismantle the knife. This allows easy cleaning -- a drop of silicone or teflon gun oil needs to be put on the hinge after cleaning..."

"...The Zulu warrior was one of the most effective of his time. This reputation was achieved with strong discipline, simple battle strategies and weapons used with devastating efficiency. Many of the Zulu people still live their lives in a simplistic, no-nonsense way and maybe some of this has rubbed off on me, resulting in my simple, no-nonsense approach to knife-making..." Chris Reeve

A folding knife which is designed to be strong, durable, robust and able to be operated with one hand needs to be simple and effective. The Sebenza Integral Lock is just that. Available in two sizes and in left and right handed models, this folding knife derives its name from the Zulu word for "Work". Zulu is the native language of province in South Africa where Chris was born and raised.
