Carrying a Chris Reeve Lg Sebenza 31 for 1 Whole Week

First iteration of 1 knife, 1 week. I have carried this Chris Reeve Lg Sebenza 31 in Magnacut for 7 days. Here are my thoughts on how it did.

Hearing what you use your CRK for-it sounds like a good Leatherman is a better way to go.

[@clem8fan]

On my 31's I've never had to loctite the pivot since it has a pivot bushing you can tighten it down unless you want it loose to flick or drop shut. The Inkosi doesn't have one so it definitely needs some loctite for me personally, great video! Also, I personally love the snail trails on the plain Jane 31 and Inkosi

[@the_pointy_end]

Thanks for the pro tip! And I agree about PJs- it is the way!

[@clem8fan]

@@the_pointy_end yeah PJ Insingo is my preferred pattern. I may have them swap my blue studs on my large Inkosi for silver ones on the next service and I'm considering having it glass blasted to give that a shot, never tried their glass blast.

[@gubourn]

Ive read more than once that on a 31, the loctite is for the stop pin, because the stop pin is harder and theres more lockbar tension

[@miazoi7891]

Nice sub…. My mnandi (lefty) has been on order since January 2020. Still waiting…. Patiently…. My Large Sebenza has been on order since 21’…. One day…. At least I have my 14060m…
Thanks for the review, I hope I get both in magnacut!

[@the_pointy_end]

Hey thanks bro! Jan 2020.. wow! It will be well worth the wait! Thanks for the comment 🙏

[@izulaAlec0369]

Evan if you don’t Loctite your pivot it’s so big and over beefy it would never back out all the way. you can unscrew the pivot all the way to 1 thread left and it still wouldn’t back out. They are custom made for crk

[@the_pointy_end]

I have definitely backed out the pivot and body screws all the way unfortunately

[@niffy99]

is it just me that likes the snail trails and the color rubbing off the thumb stud?

[@the_pointy_end]

I don’t mind snails, like them even! I just take issue with how easily the blue Ano comes off… not even worth them applying it IMO

[@scrick7112]

Lynch clips. Check that co. out. Great co. I addition I believe the thumb studs on a CRK are not screwed in there pressed in which makes them a pain to take out and replace if you don’t have the right tools.

[@the_pointy_end]

Very familiar w Lynch clips! They are great. Some stick out a little far for my taste but overall, great clips!

[@MitchBollig]

Nice discussion - I thought you might come around to the double lug once you used it for a good bit. 👊

[@the_pointy_end]

Thanks Mitch! Yeah, I was slow to come around but now that I have a double lug in hand, I’m a fan!

[@eric21881]

I love my small 31 may be a perfect all I need knife for me

[@the_pointy_end]

31s are pretty damn hard to beat at the end of the day.

[@Averitt13]

Hey man, not sure if I missed it, but what blade steel is on that sebenza ?

Magnacut! Just got mine large Sebenza 31 in MAGNACUT!

[@woodentulike2no]

My large 31 has 3 thumbstuds...should I send it back?

[@the_pointy_end]

Umm where is the third one? 🫣

[@michaelganter8952]

I have the same knife and I to don’t like the factory pocket clip. I’ve scratched so many things… the worst was my mom’s antique table chair. This CR is in my three knife edc. Solid knife for sure.

[@the_pointy_end]

Oh man! Sorry to hear about the table. It’s a weird thing- that spoon at the end shouldn’t add THAT much but it just feels like I run into everything when it is in my pocket. Thanks for the comment! 🫡

[@michaelganter8952]

@@the_pointy_end yeah, I literally hit everything some how… i need to change the clip.

[@clo2715]

Put a Ripps garage tech clip on it. I got one for all my crk it feels way better.

[@brianh9575]

You used to not have to use Locktite on CRKs. That level of precision was the justification for a $500 knife.

[@the_pointy_end]

For sure. I don’t mind having to put some loctite on the pivot to keep the tension I like but it is frustrating how often the body screws back out

[@Rocketfistmooga]

I have been thinking of getting one of these but it sure seams like a lot of finicky annoying things that you have to worry about.

[@the_pointy_end]

They are great knives! Get dual studs though!

[@tunyung]

Mine did not come with dual thumb stub I think they all should have the dual...

[@the_pointy_end]

Same! Get those dual thumb studs… game changer

[@shawnlavigne9069]

I don't think I'll ever buy one. For the price, I'd have very high expectations, and I have a feeling I'd be disappointed.

[@the_pointy_end]

You can get them on the secondary for pretty reasonable coin- definitely give one a try!

[@anthonyb2990]

They are pretty much the best. I daily a WC Zaan and it gets better and smoother every single day.

[@tunyung]

The leather pouch would be my option...

[@the_pointy_end]

Love the CRK slips!

[@markcomisky7106]

Is it worth the price really

[@the_pointy_end]

A 31? Yes!

[@markcomisky7106]

Do some outdoor stuff fire starting exctra

[@the_pointy_end]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll take my 31 with me camping next.. I just have too many knives 😆

[@bladecollector7]

lol

[@the_pointy_end]

Yes!

[@charliekennedy91]

I used to swear by the CRK grease until I tried Gunny Glide. Try Gunny Glide!

[@the_pointy_end]

Will do! Thanks for the tip!
