MANY of the sebenzas that I have bought in recent years have had absolutely horrible edge grinds. Recurves, High on one side, low on another, grossly ground at the belly and thin elsewhere, etc. The standard has indeed fallen. This is the final finishing touch and they are extremely lacking. Maybe I am being picky, but for a knife costing $500+, I deserve to be. I expect this on a Walmart special, not from a company that is regarded by many as “the standard”. Obviously the standard has fallen like I stated above. It’s quite sickening. Some were returned to dealers as unacceptable. Others were sold clearly stating uneven edge grinds.
