CHRIS
REEVE LARGE SEBENZA
The Chris Reeve Sebenza sets the standard for precision made folders,
as it is both structurally solid and aesthetically pleasing. Though this
knife may be pretty to look at, there is no mistaking it's utility purpose.
The
Integral Lock is a result of Chris Reeve's dissatisfaction with liner
locks in general, he thought that they were too flimsy. As a result, he
redesigned the concept to make the most rugged folding knives on the market.
The locking method on these knives uses the complete thickness of the
titanium liner to acheive one of the strongest lockup's out there, something
that is totally reliable under almost any circumstance.

From the large pivot
bearing surface to the the Phosphor-Bronze thrust washers to the titanium
liner, everything about this knife is designed so that it will last as
long as possible while remaining simple and efficient.
The Sebenza is also
available in decorated versions, making this already classic knife even
more attractive and suitable for wear with buisiness attire. All designs
are machined into the titanium of the liners itself, making this equal
parts tool and sculpture.
Decorated
Sebenzas come in a wide variety of patterns and colors, pictured at right..
To
help prolong the life of his knives, Chris Reeve has each Sebenza come
with a small Allen Key so that the user can take the knife apart for cleaning
and maintenance. If your knife needs maintenance, simply disassemble the
knife, clean, and apply a drop of gun oil or silicon. This does not void
the warranty, and is in fact encouraged. At right is a close up of the
Allen screws used to assemble and disassemble the knife when needed.
The Sebenza is available
in left or right handed models, in a variety of blade materials, and finishes.
