Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Thanks fellas! I handled a "21" years ago at the start of my knife journey. It was way out of my price range at the time, and I was a bit underwhelmed by the simplicity of the design. I have since developed an appreciation for simple ti framelocks like the Sage 2, Spydiechef, and soon Swayback, so I think the Sebenza will fit right in.
I have to try one at least, right? For science.

It was an order. This is apparently the last one they only had one blank. Liked the full tang, grip, and profile.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Thank you!!!!
For more than a year I have been looking for something similar to Sal's Respect but with a full exposed tang in the handle. If Sal redesigns the Respect with a full exposed tang, I'll buy that too.
I emailed the bladesmith and he said they were not making them at the time, but then emailed me back and said that he had a blank. They have some smaller Bowies with 4 inch blades, but I choose the larger. Maybe I'll go back and get the smaller too.
This is my first Bowie style knife. Should be complete some time in December.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Congratulations Naperville!
That's a beauty. Looks a whole lot like the Tops Prather War Bowie,which I always wanted but, could never find!
But, Ive no doubt this would blow a TOPS outta the water!

I fell victim to FOMO and ordered the Buck 110 in MagnaCut they just announced. Let's hope they nailed the heat treat. Bos should be fine, but I doubt they have BBB on speed dial.
