Ok so I've been a collector, a user and fan for over 8-10yrs. (lost track because that's what the knife hobby does to ya ). I've heard conversations before though about people confused, baffled, bewildered, and even perturbed about the fact the wood inlay sebenzas (and the annuals too) have a smooth kind of satin/vaporwash finish on the front scale and back scale but leave the lock bar section blasted finish. After some time handling a large Sebenza finally arrived at the conclusion the bead blast adds just a touch of extra grip and it does make a difference. Some theories are that due to the spring tension set, it is too difficult to get that section vapor wash/satin.
I personally love the look and the way it contrasts with the wood inlays and how it is different from your standard blasted ti Sebenza. However just today I was browsing a certain online dealer and noticed the new wood-inlays in stock. Looks like Chris Reeve listened to "some" people and made some changes. Noooooo......whhhyyyyy?!? Observe the photos below:
Can others confirm or deny this??? Please say it ain't so.
