I'm just going to throw this out there... the sebenza is a sweet knife, no one's denying that. I don't think your average joe is going to be able to afford one. Like, if it gets selected as the winner, you'll maybe see, what a 10 - 20% reduction in price, it's still going to be well over $300. So, I could see it being the winner, and only 5 being bought. Just saying, I don't think we need to go for the fighter jet of pocket knives on this one.

rjoneswell put. i try to stay under 150 for my users. and all my blades are users. so i doubt i'll be buying the seb even at a discount. the sage 2 is a nice affordable substitute, but it isnt getting much support here.

LDphiftyThe Sebenza is built for daily use. The name literally means "work" in Zulu. I've had one for years and use it all the time. It's still just as great as when I first got it. The frame and blade are thicker than just about any other folder I have, and can take more abuse than them.

jmani never said the seb wasnt "built" to be a user. it just isnt "priced" to be a user. its a top notch blade for sure.
but myself being in EMS, its better to keep my equipment expendable. I can palate sacrificing a blade that's $100-$150... if the situation calls for it, of coarse. i'm probably tempting fate as it is right now carrying a PM2 on duty.
