Chris Reeve Sebenza 31 Canvas Micarta natural
Sebenza 31 with Natural Micarta Inlay
- available in Large (S35VN) or Small (S45VN)
- Micarta inlay on the front and back
- Clip sits slightly diagonal on the 31
Of course, in addition to the "Plane Jane", the Sebenza 31 is again available in a model with inlays. Two versions are currently available, one with Black Canvas Micarta and the variant presented here in Natural Micarta.
While the rear Micarta inlay is more oriented to the inlays of the Inkosis in terms of shape, a new design was chosen for the show side. Instead of having two inlays as before, now one large one was used, which describes a wide arc over the handle of the knife. As is customary with CRK, the inlays on the Sebenza 31 are bonded in such a way that they last virtually forever.
In addition to the visual difference, the Micarta inlays also provide a somewhat fuller and rounder hand position, which should be interesting especially for use with gloves.
Large
When the end of the Sebenza 21 was proclaimed in June 2019 and the successor, the Sebenza 31, was presented, this announcement went through the knife scene like a drumbeat. After all, new introductions from the manufacturer from Idaho are already very rare. When it comes to the inheritance of one of the most famous and best pocket knives of all time, such a thing does not remain without appropriate reaction.
Fortunately, Chris Reeve Knives have improved their recipe for success all in all only minimally but in crucial places, so that one can justifiably continue to speak of a Sebenza in the new 31 model.
First of all, the hole on the presentation side of the knife is now gone - something that many Reeve fans have long wished for. The slightly changed angle of the pocket clip, which now no longer presses on the lockbar, is also quickly noticeable to the trained eye.
Less obvious, however, is the revised lock of the Sebenza 31. Just as with the Umnumzaan or the Inkosi, a ceramic ball embedded in the lockbar now presses against the blade root. The hardness of this ball is in a barely measurable range, which prevents long-term wear at the contact point of the lockbar.
In order to improve the hand position of the Sebenza a bit, the grip recess on the front side was ground a bit differently. All in all, we can say: yes, the new model rightly bears the venerable name Sebenza and can easily tie in with the popular 21 series.
Small
Just like the previous model, both sizes are still available.
While the large Sebenza 31 is a truly full-blown work knife, the Small Sebenza remains the king of EDC pocket knives - the hand position continues to be great on the successor model. All of the features mentioned above can also be found in this smaller version of the Sebenza 31 - just in a slightly more compact and pocket-friendly form.

Ein wirklich schönes Messer , vielleicht ein wenig zu groß?
Wenn ich mich für eines (das letzte!) Messer entscheiden müsste, wäre es das. Aber es gibt halt Gelegenheiten, da kann es ruhig ein wenig kleiner daherkommen- warum muss es so kompliziert sein? 1a : das Team und der Service
