Just buy it. If you don't like it, you can sell it, as they hold value fairly well. I personally decided to keep mine, for no real reason other than it is a good knife. Sent from my Z988 using Tapatalk

Code 4 is a better knife.

While I can also appreciate the simplistic beauty of the Capts Sebenza they don't do "it" for me. Titanium and S30V can be bought from many knife companies so if its a Sebenza you are after then I'd say you really only have to choose which one I've also followed the simple policy "If you have to justify the price, you should probably pass". There are just some things one cannot simple justify the cost. So much goes into why one would purchase something at a price point that makes the wallet cringe.

Its been S35VN for a while now.Sorry had to.
I have a Large 21. Had it for a few years now and still love it just like the day I got it. It is a excellent knife and I never once regretted buying it.

They're top notch, but I wouldn't buy one if I had the money. I prefer slipjoint and backlock knives. I don't like the asymmetrical construction, it conflicts with my sense of aesthetics.
Was it worth it?
Quote from: Demel on January 19, 2017, 03:57:35 AMWas it worth it?Eh, not really.There are two perspectives on this. From a pure objective, utilitarian viewpoint, the Sebenza is definitely not worth it. All it does is cut stuff. Just like $20 Kershaws, though granted you will get better edge retention with the spendier steel. But 22 times better edge retention ($20 vs. $440)? No. If you cut an apple with a Sebenza and then with a Delica, for example, the apple will have no idea which knife cut it. I know, because I asked it.The other perspective is the subjective feeling good viewpoint. A Sebenza can make some guys feel really good. They love to play with it, kiss it, play with it some more, read the forums, and play with it some more. It makes them feel good. They sell all of their other knives after they get a Sebenza. The problem is that they can also start to act like the Sebenza cuts stuff better than "lesser" knives.No, it doesn't. Its just a knife.I own about 4x Sebenzas. I forget the exact number. I feel sorta stupid for owning them, but that did not stop me from buying them, did it? They are not as easy to open as lets say a Delica, and don't have an up/down/left/right clip. So in some respects, they objectively are just not that awesome.You'll have to figure this out for yourself. Some guys say its the best knife ever, because it makes them feel good. I say save your money.
Just like ladies buying Chanel......
Sebenzas, Spyderco, and Benchmade--they all tend to hold their value well.
