Thanks guys for the offers, much appreciated.

Can anyone post a picture of a large and small Sebenza next to some more common Spyderco like a Delica, Endura, PM2, etc.? That would really help, I think.

Interesting, just a little smaller than an Endura. Very useful, thank you.

It's a CRK kind of week! New ones popping up more often than usual. Fantastic knives!

I just ordered a small 31 S45 last night from knifeart. This will be my 7th CRK in a little over a year. I think I may have a problem.

I feel your pain there! Just under $900 for two (granted, AWESOME) folders this past week. My "others" collection is creeping up on my Spyderco's lately! I've got a couple for sale right now, may have to add another 1 or 2 to that list.

I'd actually like to sell it if I could! It's awesome for sure, I just don't have much use for it. Can't sell on eBay, nor the Reddit group and I don't have Facebook or a membership to Bladeforums...so I'm kind of stuck with it!

Thanks. Would it be safe to say the 31 large is close the over all length of the PM2?

Yep. Slightly longer overall. It has a longer blade that's also a little thicker, slightly shorter handle than the PM2 but with a more neutral grip.

Thanks for comparison pics of a large and small CRK . After seeing together a small someday could work for me . MG2

No problem. They are definitely quite different!

Thanks! It's at the point now where it takes me A LOT of thought to put one up for sale, a handful of them are sentimental and they all fill a niche one way or another. I try really hard to keep my collection at 28, just enough to fill those stands and not allow myself to get more carried away...because I know I easily could haha.

To answer your actual question instead of just rambling, that's probably about 4-5 years of collecting.

My 1st was the Elk Mountain and then a few more followed.

Haven't got a 31 yet. I was still more attracted by 21s because they were done when The Man himself was still in the company.

Might get one, especially now that they are getting cheaper and cheaper, I mean for the price of a couple of Spydercos that's a Sebenza :winking-tongue
