sappie66 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I think I paid a little over $100 at Warriors and Wonders in Vancouver. They sell online too! eastcoasthunter and Bos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoasthunter Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 What's that steel like to sharpen? I here it can be a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappie66 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Haven't had it that long so it hasn't gone dull yet. But that's the trade-off. The longer it keeps an edge, the harder it is to sharpen. Not looking forward to it. [emoji1] eastcoasthunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used sharpening stones before, going to buy some soon so I didn't want anything to nasty to sharpen lol, my others knives are all cheaper 440 steels or along the same lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Vader Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This is my current go to Spyderco. Love this thing. CR13 MoV. The bottle opener and pry bar combo sold me on it.

eastcoasthunter Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Spyderco definitely has a big following. They are one of the more unique blades with them thumb holes. I hope I enjoy mine as much as many other seem too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoasthunter Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 My spyderco came in the other day so I figured I'd post a pic. Nothing fancy but they do their job. I've decided to learn to hand sharpen so I bought the combo stone the other day. Was looking at buying a Norton combo but the guy at Lee Valley was pushing this one instead so I figured I'd give it a shot. My next additions will be a grohmann trout/bird knife and I'm looking at the outdoorsman pal, need something to clean some small brush in the woods sappie66, bikermarc, Burtess and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thread revive! Lol Apparently this is another weakness of mine haha. Here is my small edc folder collection...Spyderco Paramilitary 2, Benchmade Osborne 940-2, Chris Reeve Small Sebenza 21 Perception, and my little Xikar knife/cigar cutter. That Xikar is actually a well made little edc knife that also doubles as a decent cigar cutter.

BRAC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 This Sebenza really needs a little more attention though.....what a beauty! The CGG milled titanium handle and stonewashed S35VN blade are both just gorgeous. Tolerances and fit and finish on Chris Reeve knives is amazing.

BRAC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 There are lefty versions available in the PM2 and Sebenza, although they are much harder to come by. The Sebenza would likely have to be special ordered in a lefty. I have definitely seen PM2 lefty versions for sale though. Actually the PM2 is available in a lefty at W&W right now.

Breitling Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Very nice knives, @BRAC Really dig the Sebenza. Love the milled grip. I tend to stick with the plain handles or the inlaid ones usually but I like that pattern. Pretty sure @Serie-T has the same Paramillie as you.. I got it for him through a friend at a discount over W&W. I haven't bought a knife in ages... but seeing these has my wheels turning Ianpc and Serie-T 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always planning on the plain handled version, but the dealer here only had this version of the small seb in stock. I went to see it because it was on sale and when I saw it in person...instant purchase! Looks so much better in person than it does in pics.

ThePolskiOgorki Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Made the handle and sheath for this one. I used African Blackwood and curly maple with a few vulcanized fibre spacers. I bought the blade and it is the Helle Brakar. Made a few knives from other Helle blades. This one turned out the best. I don't really like how the sheath turned out. There is a wood insert inside it to protect the blade and It could of been a little less bulky. I may make another down the road for it when I find time.

BRAC Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Traded up my Small Sebenza 21 Perception posted above for a Large Sebenza 21 Insingo with micarta inlays today. I decided after some extended handling that the Perception was just a bit too small in my hand. The size and ergonomics on the Large Insingo are so much better now. Wise decision! It's hard to see the size difference without a side by side pic, but this one is significantly larger with a 3.625" blade vs the Perception with a 2.94" blade.
