Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 – Glass Blasted (Sprint Run)
King of blades
Improving upon the archetype, OG titanium folder is no mean feat. But, if anybody’s going to get it done – it’d be CRK themselves. Turning things up to 11, this Large Sebenza 31 comes with all the works and takes things to a whole new level of the blade.
Building on the storied pedigree of the Sebenza 21, the Large Sebenza 31 introduces a few small but critical innovations. Firstly, the Large Sebenza 31 features a ceramic ball pressed into the end of the hardened titanium lock bar.
Ceramic is harder than titanium, will not wear out as easily, and moves better in contact with steel. Combined with the tried-and-tested Reeve Integral lock, you get the signature warm ‘click’ and ‘bank-vault’ action of the Sebenza.
Next is the off-set pocket clip, which reduces the preload on the lock bar, along with the improved ergonomics of the handle. Subtle adjustments were made at the front of the handle and around the finger grooves for better handling and grip.
What’s more, due to the enhanced production process, the Large Sebenza 31 no longer has the hole on the presentation side (which was used to secure the scale in place). The tolerances of Chris Reeve Knives were already legendary, and this new process introduces a new level of precision that catapults the Large Sebenza 31 to the front of the pack.
On the business end, this Large Sebenza 31 features an Insingo or Tanto blade made of CPM S35VN stainless steel, which was forged by Crucible Industries specifically with Chris Reeve knives in mind, using vanadium and niobium to create extremely tough and hard tool steel. With a Rockwell hardness of 59-60, it is tougher than nails, holds a razor-sharp edge and can withstand any abuse thrown at it.
Finally, these unique sprint run Large Sebenza 31 feature a glass-blasted titanium finish not only looks stellar, but it also feels good in the hand with its gently textured surface. If you’re curious about how Chris Reeve manages to improve upon perfection, you need to check this bad boy out.
