How to Clean Your Sebenza (Featuring the Sebenza 31) 

@Angel Eden same

Just say cold snack, not everyone's a pansy.

same, then lost a screw, now a month later with a new set of screws, here we are, watching this video.

Well no not necessarily at all point is you need to take the tension off the lock bar I put my blade in it all kinds of different positions 120°, 90°, 180... But you've probably gotten the hang of it by now!

Need an Inkosi 👊🏽🗡

I too am a fan of the 21. Can't resign from that classy, snappy sound of a titanium slab hitting the blade tang. I do love my Umnum with the ceramic ball, but it just isn't as much of a satisfying opening.

You don't even own a 31

I’ve had the same thing happen before. Push the lock bar out and Use some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean the lock bar face that contacts the blade when locked open as well as the blade itself where the lock bar contacts. I hope that helps!

I believe the washers are the same on 31 vs 21

Polished side to the blade.

Thats a date code. A,B,C,D stands for the quarter and the number is the production year. The date codes on the handle do not necessarily match. 😊

Lol are you kidding me?

If that's a problem for you then keep the knife in a display case...but I don't recommend that as these are for every-day use...small scratches are to be expected...it's a piece of equipment not a painting

Hello, if you send the knife in for a refresh I think they will jiggle your handles in their rocks and get rid of most of the superficial marks. ;)

It’s listed on their website. 8 in/lb

You mean stop pin?

Yes sorry. Stop pin

blade rubs against the scale, it's horribly off centered lmao

@@_Fug that’s was just the music in the background bad trining was all lol

@@P.I.S.OnYou. All three times? Just as the blade was coming in and out of the handle?

He flipped a washer putting it back together, catch it and put it back proper, no worries

When the action feels slightly dry, i clean. Or after using it in quite gritty places like the beach or super dusty places where it can get caked in. Clean it when it makes you happy, or when its dirty ;)

The original thumb lugs from the Sebenza Regular were much easier to get purchase on...I do wonder why they changed it

Learn how to use them the way they were designed and they’re not painful

I thought they were painful until I started to press against the blade rather than into the stud.

I'm not sure if this is your issue or not, but the action is supposed to be a bit on the tight side. I've seen it described as the action on a small hydraulic cylinder. It isn't flippy like knives with a bearing. It is solid and precise

@@izzybell550 I sent this knife in and they called explaining what was wrong. I’m awaiting for it back.

@@AdamasOldblade Nice! :)

@@izzybell550 After getting the knife back I am pleased that the issues have been fixed, however I've basically double-learned now that Sebenza's are just built differently. They are not meant to be the smoothest of openers and even straight back from the factory it's still naturally tight and odd to open next to the plethora of other knives I own that are not. Despite them having premium materials and their QA seems to be truly great. CRK is a good company, just not my company, I will not be purchasing future knives from them. For the $550 I spent on this I could've gotten two or three Benchmades or Spydercos or any other high end brand and would've been more satisfied with the action. At the end of the day the tool you physically use should be comfortable to you. Whilst holding the actual knife and using it is superb, opening and closing it is the deal breaker for me. They won't miss losing one customer.

i’ve always thought the knife was a two handed opener. and still use two hands today. it’s impossible to open with 1 hand.

just take your meds and you will be fine.

@@johndings9917 Oh, yeah, U trying to be funny, right? Its absolute off topic coment from you mate cause I love CRKs and I love my Sebenza 31 as well so .. have a nice day and go to F youself bro :)

You can... its called the spa treatment, and its free

They do that. They’ll also reblast everything and you can even send it in unassembled. It’s like you’re actually getting a good warranty for what you pay...

You can genius

Aside the fact that they literally do that... what's the fun in that?

thanks for letting us know.

No deposit was taken, and the backlog is measured in years. With actual inflation well above 10% a year, there is no way a company can stay in business and absorb years worth of inflation to sell a product at the marked price from years ago.
