Why I don't need another Sebenza, and why I just bought another Sebenza

Today, I'll talk a bit about 'rational and content-driven' purchasing decisions for reviewers, which of course leads me to decide that the very last thing I need is another Sebenza. And then I'll discuss the seemingly paradoxical fact that I just bought another Sebenza.

    I'm pretty sure the "mistake" of the hand anodizing on the tree is supposed to be the moonlight reflecting on it, but I could be completely wrong
  • @tkindschi
    If we just go by "need", we would all have one $40 knife!
  • Nick: “DON’T GET INTO WATCHES” Also Nick: hey Slicey want some watches?
  • @david-yj6uv
    A couple of years ago I thought a $500 knife was ludicrous and I never wore a watch. Today I watched this video with my paisley sebenza in my pocket and my explorer ii polar on my wrist. With love- Damn you Nick!!!
  • @jagpilotohio
    They didn’t “miss” anodizing those tree branches. The moon is supposed to be lighting them up. Knives of that caliber dont leave the shop with blatant mistakes.

    If nothing else, it shows you still have enthusiam for this hobby and haven't burnt out yet.

    Me several years ago, "I like knives but who ever needs a knife over $200?" Me last week, "Ohh my Sebenza came in, let me order this XM-18. *click click click*"
  • @chewdog72
    I’m all for purchasing something that brings you a little bit of joy! That’s a very nice piece. I’ve also found myself eyeing decorated Sebenzas. You’re definitely helping me justify an order.

    I just have to say, your channel has brought about a reawakening of my love for knives. I bought my first benchmade for 110 about a month ago and thought, thats as far as this goes. So I bought a ZT0707 last week, ah well, thats how it goes.
  • @jolness1
    This is one of my favorite patterns. I just got my first Sebenza (black Micarta inlay) and I will be keeping an eye out for "this little sky"
  • @AntOfEgypt
    I really like when the EDC Multiverse enables great gear swaps and deals like the Omega/CRK sharing between such awesome people/reviewers like you two gents 😀

    I just merged my watch collecting with my knife collecting, and forwent the purchase of an updated Brietling Aerospace Ti to fund an entire year of knife purchases. Just caught a snap release of a Sebenza and pulled the trigger (and that followed my snatching up a Jeff Park Customs MiniBones). Stay safe, and thanks for all you do for the community..

    Your night sky Sebenza is a beautiful cutting tool. The variation in engraving depth, proportion, and colors give the illusion of depth and transparency as not to hide the knife underneath, something I really appreciate. I'm not a knife collector (yet), but a well thought out precision tool brings a smile to my face every time I pick it up. If this knife makes you smile Nick, then it was worth every penny. I purchased a ZT 0562ti yesterday. It's way more knife than I'll ever need, but I have a feeling it'll be worth it :)
  • @TMerrion
    I came for the reviews, I stay for the puns. 🤓
  • That sebenza goes so well with your custom bugout. Both are beautiful. I wish someone would make scales that are all out, excessive, and gorgeous for the waypoint.
  • @roel.vinckens
    As I wrote in my comment on Metal Complex's vid of today: Happy to be crazy about crazy knives! That's one of the reasons I come to these channels. You guys make me feel a bit more normal...
  • @ogenmatic
    It’s good when a knife reminds you that despite being jaded by the hobby from time to time, there’s still one or two that’ll get the juices flowing. Congrats!
  • Right there with ya Nick. Been carrying around my sebbie for over a year, and just couldn’t shake the thought that I needed to try the Inkosi also. So now I have each. WORTH it.
  • @spyhunter6411
    Thats a pretty knife. I just got my first sebenza as a gift from my father. I remember being a small lady, and when I got into knives, the sebenza was his grail knife. Since he has 1 or 2 and come to find out, he ordered me a small 21 too, dual thumb studs, micarta inlays. I love it.
  • Quite the beautiful piece. I'm not really into the artsy knives myself, but I can definitely respect the work that goes into them. Maybe I too will come around to them someday. Who knows. (Recently my dad gave me this old Seiko of his and now I'm trying really hard to resist getting "into watches")
