Large Sebenza wanted.

Zack · **on:** November 13, 2009, 12:18:45 AM

Ok, so I have been lusting after a Sebenza for a few years now, and I really want to scratch that itch. I am willing to part with my most of Spyderco collection and include some LM's for a Large Sebenza (preferbly with Micarta or Rosewood inlay). Here is what you would get.

1) 440v Native Plain Edge
2) S30v Native Combo Edge
3) AUS-8A Endura Fully Serrated (older generation with molded pocket clip)
4) ATS-55 Delica Combo Edge
5) ATS-55 Cricket Fully Serrated
6) Skeletool CX
7) Freestyle CX

Supertool 300

Also open to the Small Sebenza.

I know its a long shot and I'm not expecting anything, just wanted to throw it out there.

Zack, you are clearly a man with great taste.

Zack · **Reply #2 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:42:45 AM

They are works of art and excellent engineering. I want a knife I can carry everyday and not get tired of. I have a few knives that come close, but there is something about them that bugs me. I believe the Sebbie will give me everything I am after.

Well let's hope so, or your gonna be awfully upset if you trade all that gear for it

Zack · **Reply #4 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:45:02 AM

Or I could take your advice and trade it for a bunch of other useful stuff.

DaveK · **Reply #5 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:47:58 AM

Not with me!

Nah, I've seen Dunc's, Flash's and maybe Ben's (I'm not completely sure about that), and they are, without doubt, fantastically well made and high spec knives. If that is your bag, I can't imagine that you'd be disappointed by one.

For me, I expect to have to put fuel in something that costs that much

I'd be frightened to use it!

That is pretty much what it is for me. There are very few things that I get that keep me really interested and keen and the Sebbie is one of them.

Zack · **Reply #7 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:57:08 AM

Well the way I look at it this is something I can pass on my my boy and hopefully one day his. It has a sense of timeless engineering that will never go out of style. Like Ben, everything I own is a user, and I actually prefer to find things second hand, this Sebbie if I ever get one will not be an exception.

DaveK · **Reply #8 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:59:15 AM

Well - I hope you get one sorted out Zack - best of luck!

Benner · **Reply #9 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:59:38 AM

Well, lets hope one turns up.

(If it doesn't, remember me before parting with that Endura.

).

But would it get there?

Benner · **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:09:22 AM

Sadly, probably sodding not.

But anyway, that isn't going to happen as you are going to get a Sebbie (hopefully)

DaveK · **Reply #12 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:20:46 AM

I've got a Cold Steel AK-47 you could trade if you want

Benner · **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:21:26 AM

A "limited edition" one as well.

Zack · **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:23:09 AM

Hmmm...I saw that thread I hope you don't mind but I am going to have to decline. Perhaps you could put it towards your own Sebenza...I know deep down you want one...Don't worry I won't tell Ben.

Benner · **Reply #15 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:24:28 AM

I reckon Dave is like that guy in that youtube video and has crudely cut out pics of Sebenza's on his walls.

Zack · **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:25:58 AM

Probably Striders too.

Benner · **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:26:39 AM

Definitely.

DaveK · **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:29:06 AM

Deep down, I want absolutely anything that has a value

I'm genuinely not slating the Sebenza, I just wouldn't spend that much on a knife personally. I'm not as rich as Ben - he lives down south. South of "The Divide"

Worse than that - I've got Roadie's Leatherman timeline

Zack · **Reply #19 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:35:13 AM

Are those Hamiltons in the bottom left corner?

DaveK · **Reply #20 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:39:04 AM

Hamiltons? I don't know what that is sorry

If you mean the stopwatches, they are various makers. I don't really seriously collect them, but I have a soft spot for the things when I see one I like

Zack · **Reply #21 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:42:38 AM

I was referring to hamilton pockesmurfches. I have a soft spot for them as well.

Bloody word filter (it's 'cos you said twat)

They're actually all stopwatches, I can't be sure which those are as that's an old pic, but I have quite a few of them (about 20 I guess). I probably ought to offload some of them actually as they're mostly just gathering dust!
