Many of us who have been around a long time have a preference for some of the older Sebenza versions. There are many varied reasons for this, but I would not worry about it for now. As a first time sebenza owner, I’d suggest buying either a new or nearly new 31 that appeals to you and try it out. They are pretty available and the price is stable right now. Once you have it in hand, use it! Give it time, break it in (give it time!) and see what all the fuss is about.Wow . . .Thank you everyone.
i am not a "fan-boy" and so, didn't really know what the CRK folders even looked like. The unimanzan does seem hefty, but the blade profile is visually jarring to me. I much prefer a drop point.
I will be looking art the Sebenzas for that reason. I don't quite get the distinction between the Sebenza 21 and the 31. Am I eeing slightly different blade shapes?
Man, I almost fell off my chair laughing about this.Don't let any of things bother you, there will be a dude along soon to tell you his is perfect.
The 3 blade shapes the 21 was made with
Drop Point
Insingo
Tanto
are all available in the 31.
The only Visual cues the average person will notice between the two are
Inlays- one piece on the 31 as opposed to two on the 21
Fixture-ing hole - On the show side of the P-21 CRK utilized a hole on the scale to ease manufacturing. It became an enduring part of the design and legacy. Its missing on the 31
Clip- its crooked on the the 31. it was correct for 31 years but suddenly needed moved...

Good luck with your search and here's a picture of all the production Sebenzas for your research purposes. Well that and I need every excuse to show them off after the money my wife doesn't know I spent putting this collection together!!!!
My 31s are also perfect. At first, I thought he was talking about me.My 31 is perfect.

It's an Inkosi with some milling. They are discontinued and sell at 2-3 times the retail price in today's market. Id buy a PJ Inkosi and a L Sebenza and go to dinner with the rest.I would highly recommend the Wilson Combat Large Inkosi Drop Point! One of the best CRKs ever made in my opinion.
I’d rather have a WC Large Inkosi than 2 regular large models and dinner. I still think it’s one of the best CRKs ever made and would still highly recommend it even at $900-$1000… even after your extremely compelling argument.It's an Inkosi with some milling.

And before you start in...Ive bought, owned and sold 3. It's just not even close to worth the money.
I agree on the Inkosi part for sure. I enjoyed the WC but just no enough to put it that far ahead of a PJ. That of course is s very subjective opinion.I’d rather have a WC Large Inkosi than 2 regular large models and dinner.

I never understood the fascination. Same with the other one with the straight lines. Prometheus or whatever it's called. They are cool, for sure, but not any more so than a plain.It's an Inkosi with some milling. They are discontinued and sell at 2-3 times the retail price in today's market.
