Picked up a new CRK Sebenza haven’t had one in years, I grabbed one last week. This is my first time with the new glass blasted. Its sweet! My other Sebenzas I’ve had and sold over the years were sandblasted.
I might send my Umnumzaan over to get done in this finish too

@Matt some mass produced knives are built to pretty decent tolerances, certainly good enough to carry and use. One of the knives I really love to carry a cheap Chinese mass manufactured liner lock that came free with a purchase of a ZT flipper from an online seller, but it feels great in the hand, great action/detente, great steel. I wound up using this freebie more than the knife I actually bought. I love my “nice” knives but they really aren’t necessary, and whatever is in my pocket is going to get properly used, and not caring if it is damaged in the process is key… so I’ve shifted my priorities around cutlery for sure.

My collection, the most carried is the beat up Swiss Army Pioneer with bail, goes great in a 5th pocket. -

@SKT well in that case, I should show you my Spyderco where I replaced the factory micarta:
That is a thing of beauty @mclaincausey. Reminds me of the older Chris Reeves Mnandis with beautiful wooden scales: ironwood, burl and cocobolo.

Esee cleaver. This thing is heavy. Chipped the blade on my old cleaver and decided to give this one a try. It’s sharp. Blade gets thick fast.
