for-sale FOR SALE: Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) Large Sebenza 31 Insingo Sprint Run 🔥

FOR SALE:  Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) Large Sebenza 31 Insingo Sprint Run 

Alright TGO... this is one for the record books as I am not aware of any other CRK Sebenza ever being offered up for sale here.  For those of you are into knives, this is truly a case of "If you know, you know".  These routinely go for $600-700 on the secondary market, especially with the much sought-after Insingo blade design.

 

 

This CRK Sebenza with Insingo blade is BRAND NEW.  It was produced in December of 2021 and is the new and improved model Sebenza 31.  It was sold to me in January as part of a sprint run by Urban EDC Supply and features the new glass-blasted titanium scales which have a luxuriously soft sheen and texture to them.

The blade is 3.61-inches of tough, high-end S35VN stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 59-60.  

Building on the storied pedigree of the Sebenza 21, the Large Sebenza 31 introduces a few small but critical innovations. Firstly, the Large Sebenza 31 features a ceramic ball pressed into the end of the hardened titanium lock bar.   Ceramic is harder than titanium, will not wear out as easily, and moves better in contact with steel. Combined with the tried-and-tested Reeve Integral lock, you get the signature warm 'click' and 'bank-vault' action of the Sebenza. 

Next is the off-set pocket clip, which reduces the preload on the lock bar, along with the improved ergonomics of the handle. Subtle adjustments were made at the front of the handle and around the finger grooves for better handling and grip. 

The Large Sebenza 31 no longer has the hole on the presentation side (which was used to secure the scale in place).  Overall, the precision of this knife is legendary, even among fans of CRK's work, and the action is smooth and has a reassuring bank vault-like lockup.  It is designed for hard work but is beautiful enough that it can be the crown jewel in your knife collection.

• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.

I tried the small one once and it seemed too small to me.  I'm a sucker for bigger knives.

Price Drop.   $525 takes it.  I really need to free-up some space in my safe.
