Dave's Dogs and Sebenzas

Custom Sebenza

Text from Spyken: This large regular sebenza has the much prized BG42 blade. Tom Krein just resharpened the blade to his famous scary sharp edge.

Prior to that:

Gerry McGinnis did a orange peel finish on the titanium scales (and screws) for me, and added his trademark fantastic anodizing work. The colours are very rich yet classy...a light bronze gradually turning to purplish blue tones. The holes are countersunk and polished, a nice classy contrast to the matt orange peel finish.

Mike Obenauf thinned the blade down a little, then redid the stonewash finish. The thumbstud is beadblasted, a nice touch.

Matt Cucchiara did his famous meltdown on the handles, and drilled the holes in a very very tasteful and nice pattern, the only one ever done this way.

The lock-up is perfect, blade is centered (like all sebenzas) and the blade opens smoother than any other folder I've had - it's like its walking on glass. (and I've had mayonized sebenzas and Mayo customs).

This is a one of a kind sebenza, a study in fine machining, textural landscapes and colouring
