The best thing it has going for it is looks.. it really is a great looking blade. But I think Flash900 summed up lots of the things about the knife that would keep me from dropping that kind of coin for one. I like to use my knives and all the extras on the knife don't really add any functional value to it for me. Biggest knock would be the slippery aluminum handles. If they could find a way to add some grip to the anodizing like on the BM940s, I may consider, and I'm not moving up to the Ti version, I'd get a Small Sebenza at the price point. I dig the looks, and size (maybe could be a touch lighter) but that won't do it alone for me, it will have to very functional for that price. Just my .02. Get it down to the $120-130 range and I may try one out.
