The Sebenza, a name synonymous with quality, is often regarded as one of the finest premium folding knives ever created. First introduced over three decades ago, the Sebenza has continuously evolved, and the Sebenza 31 embodies the culmination of its refinement, offering an unmatched blend of durability, elegance, and functionality.
"Sebenza" means "work" in Zulu, and these knives are built to perform. Each Sebenza 31 is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a precision that delivers the renowned “bank vault” lockup feel. As the originator of the frame lock, officially known as the Reeve Integral Lock, Chris Reeve Knives has elevated this design with a ceramic ball interface on the lock bar, ensuring superior stability and longevity over traditional steel interfaces.
Unparalleled Blade Performance
The Sebenza 31 features a hollow-ground CPM-MagnaCut blade, hardened to 63-64HRC, combining exceptional edge retention with ease of maintenance. Designed for work, this blade's drop-point shape is as versatile as it is reliable.
Inlaid Models: A Touch of Elegance
For those seeking added sophistication, the Sebenza 31 is available with inlays crafted from premium materials like Bog Oak, Micarta, or other fine woods. These inlays are fitted with precision into milled pockets on the titanium handle and secured with VHB adhesive for durability.
The inlays not only enhance the knife's aesthetics but also provide additional grip and a fuller handle feel. Wood inlays feature a satin-finished handle and blade, while Micarta options are paired with a tumbled blade and blasted handle for a rugged yet refined look. Every detail is considered, from color-matched thumb lugs to coordinated lanyard ties.
