An overview and first impressions of a production Sebenza 31 (starring the Canada One 31!). I've endeavoured to provide a good look over the new (first production design version) Sebenza 31 and all of the new features, point out differences with the Sebenza 21 and with the launch version ("show") Sebenza 31, along with my initial thoughts and opinions, after having the knife in my hands for less than two days.
I initially tried to do an "unboxing" and talk about it as I first held it in my hands, but I got interrupted and the video was ruined, so the Canada One 31 has had a little bit more time in my hands before I filmed this one.
I am not a professional knife reviewer, there are other people on YouTube for that, so don't expect weights, measures and statistics. I am a storyteller, and I like to tell the stories behind the things that I like, the things I treasure, the stuff I add to my collections, and my hobbies. I enjoy recalling how and why I acquired things, how I use them, things that happened with them, why they are special to me and how I feel about them. Some folks like to sit back and just hear some stories about the things they are passionate about.
Because the Sebenza 31 is new and highly anticipated by the knife community (the Chris Reeve community in particular) and the Canada One 31 is one of the first production 31s out there, from the first direct order production run by Chris Reeve Knives (January 2020), I have spent much more time talking about the features of the knife, and my initial thoughts about them. I hope you find it informative, and enjoy the stories that go with it as well.
