I've had my eye on this nice boker one hand assist knife. On the edc boards people like to carry a normal knife along with a leatherman or some multitool. With your experience, does the swiss army knife make carrying a regular blade redundant? I'm fleshing out my edc systems and I'm wondering whether or not to get this boker. Thanks!
My OHOs are also SAKs(yes I know there are a few 2HO in the photo, but all have locking blades)(Image removed from quote.)Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I thought that was a one-version product
I never intended on this to happen, but I do carry a OHO alongside my SAK.My Handyman is a trusty compagnion for a long time, but sometimes you need to get a knife out quick or only have one hand available. So when I started to carry a (fake) Small Sebenza to see what the fuss was all about it stuck witch me and is part of my EDC for about five(?) years now.I intended to get a real Chris Reeve Knives Small Sebenza but I got a girlfriend instead and I just can't justify €400,- on a knife as easily as she can on a €600,- carpet. Below is not my EDC, but the Handyman (black) and the Smabenze (as I call it) are.(Image removed from quote.)

Who does make it then?Yes it is. It feels awesome in hand. The titanium is pretty great. Under the hood however you get what you pay for. This is not a CRK by any means. The jimping on the back of the knife is poor, the framelock is starting to fail and the washers are poorly made and I had to polish the rough edges off myself. I bought it from a Chinese website to see how a Sebenza would handle as 'it's the only knife you'll ever need' and it's supposed to be a working knife.And you know what, it is. The ergonomics are fantastic and the titanium has a very nice feel. The blade shape is very nice as well.Initially I intended to buy a real one, but life happened and now it's too much. The Smabenza has won a place in my heart however and has turned me on to single bladed folders.

The SAK’s are for the handyman side or support side of our daily lives.
While the price for a Sebenza is steep I also think if this is the ONE and done knife the price is non issue . When you total up all the knives we buy over time to try to find the ONE we spend quite a few dollars over time just trying. If you've found the one knife that does it all and will be carried and carried and carried for years on end then.......... ? I'm costing this knife out over say, 5 years, 10 years. Certainly many have spend that much in gear over 5 years. I wish I found my ONE and done anything. Truth is many would still buy and try other knives . I would like to hear the Captains thoughts. I remember when he got his Sebenza. Any Sebenza owners want to chime in?
