Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Inlay Bog Oak Polished Drop Point (L31-1100)

Sebenza means "work" in Zulu and these knives are intended to do just that. The blade steel is CPM-S45VN hollow-ground blade at a 60-62 HRC, the Sebenza 31's blade will retain a sharp edge with low maintenance. The CRK Sebenza 31 L31-1100 uses the Reeve Integral Lock, which is a lock bar integral to the back handle. Pre-bending at the end of the slot causes the spring to move to the base of the blade, thereby locking the blade open. This was a revolutionary design almost 40 years ago and through numerous refinements over the years, this is the best Sebenza created thus far.

Inlaid Models

Bridging the gap between hi-tech titanium and the organic feel of natural material is the Sebenza 31 folding knife with inlay. Available with a choice of woods, each piece fits exactly into one of three pockets machined into the handle — two on the front and one on the back. 

The fit of the inlay into the pocket is to extremely tight tolerance and the sections are retained with VHB (very high bonding) double-sided tape. The inlays give a contoured feel to the handle and are as attractive as they are functional. A stonewashed S45VN blade and satin finish titanium handles enhance the wood inlaid Sebenza 31, tumbled blade and sandblasted handle complete those with Micarta. A gol thumb lug, lanyard tie, and spacer are chosen to coordinate with the color of the inlay.
