CHRIS REEVE KNIVES Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Folding Knife 3.61″ S45VN (USA)

Sebenza means “work” in Zulu and these knives are intended to do just that. Built with handcrafted care at a production level, the Sebenza 31 has earned a worldwide reputation for rock-solid performance and a ‘bank vault’ feel. Offered with a CPM-S45VN hollow-ground blade at a 59-60HRC, the Sebenza 31’s blade will retain a sharp edge with easy maintenance. The Sebenza 31 uses the Reeve Integral Lock, which is a lock bar integral to the back handle. Pre-bending at the end of the slot causes the spring to move to the base of the blade, thereby locking the blade open. It was a revolutionary design 31 years ago and through numerous refinements over the years, this is the best Sebenza created thus far.

The idea behind the Sebenza has never wavered: to craft the best pocket knife in the world.  Premium materials, paired with pristine finishes, and a bank-vault lock-up— all within an incredibly light, precision-made tool. That commitment continues with the new Sebenza 31 with a Ceramic Ball Interface.  Like the very first Sebenza, it delivers the same warm “click” and heirloom quality produced from aerospace tolerances.  The Sebenza 31 brings finer details to an already fine knife — and another steady, reliable step forward.
