Sebenza

The Sebenza is a folding pocket knife manufactured by Chris Reeve Knives of Boise, Idaho.

[3] The name Sebenza is derived from the Zulu word meaning "Work," a tribute to Mr. Reeve's South African origins.

First introduced in 1990, the current basic model has a sand-blasted titanium handle and a stonewashed finish CPM MagnaCut blade.

A feature of the Sebenza that is highly praised by users is the ease of maintenance, as CRK actually encourages the customer to disassemble and maintain the knife by including a hex wrench, as well as small tube of fluorinated grease (to lubricate the pivot) and a tube of Loctite (for screws) in the box.

Additionally, a hole has been removed from the handles, and the pocket clip is slightly offset so that it no longer rests on the lockbar.
