Chris Reeve Knives

In the Sebenza, Chris Reeve Knives makes one of the finest premium folding knives on the planet, and after more than three decades since its introduction, the Sebenza 31 has been continually refined through the years to maintain its position as arguably the best pocket knife ever.

Sebenza means "work" in Zulu and these knives are intended to do just that. Built with handcrafted care at a production level, the Sebenza 31 has earned a worldwide reputation for rock-solid performance and a 'bank vault' feel. It is the knife that introduced the world to the frame lock over three decades ago, formally named the Reeve Integral Lock, and they still do it better than anyone. The "31" model uses a ceramic ball interface between the lockbar and the blade for stability and longevity of the mechanism, which is even more long-lasting than the steel interfaces that the competition use.

The Sebenza 31 is currently offered with a CPM-MagnaCut hollow-ground blade at 63-64HRC to retain a sharp edge with easy maintenance.

It’s an acquired like
Compared to my Spyderco and Benchmade EDC knives, this Sebenza was initially very stiff almost impossible to open with one hand with an offset pocket clip that would drive anyone with even minor ocd insane. I packed it up and was ready too return it 20 minutes after opening the box; but something told me to give it a little time. About a week and a very sore thumb later it’s my new favorite edc. I wish the frame spring was a little softer, the thumb stud less sharp and that crooked pocked clip returned to the original straight alignment fully on the fixed part of the frame, but it’s still the most compact easiest to carry fully functional edc knife I have. Rudimentary but elegant describes how I see it now. I just grows on you.
