Chris Reeve Sebenza 31 & Sebenza 21 Compared: From Tip to Lanyard, Front to Back, Outside and Inside

This is the first of two videos that aim to provide my overview and impressions of the Chris Reeve Knives Sebenza 31 after four months of ownership and use. In this first video I compare the Sebenza 31 to the Sebenza 21 that it replaces, and discuss all of the physical design changes and differences between the two models of which I'm aware.

In the second video I give my impressions and opinions of the Sebenza 31 gained through my practical experience over four months of use, and compare it to those of using the Sebenza 21. The second video can be found at the following link:

I am not a professional knife reviewer, so if you are looking for a quick overview and review of the Sebenza 31 you can find plenty of great ones out there on YouTube and I recommend that you have a look at them... and give a pat on the back to the people that create them by giving them a "like".

While I'm more of a storyteller and prefer to tell the tales behind the knives in my collection, this video does provide a lot of practical information on these two Chris Reeve models. My story telling habit and detail-oriented nature come out in this comprehensive look at the design changes, and the reasoning behind them. This is a long discussion, so if you enjoy looking at knives, how they work and design considerations, grab a drink, sit back and settle in for a bit!

The best technique to use for taking apart and reassembling a Sebenza is the method demonstrated in the "How To Clean Your Sebenza" video on the Chris Reeve Knives website (also available here on YouTube). Don't forget my tip for reassembling the Sebenza 31—screw your stop pin to the lock side handle first, then follow the steps demonstrated by Tim Reeve in the video. Here is the link:
