Chris Reeve Small Sebenza 31 Magnacut - Initial Impressions

Taking a look at the Chris Reeve Small Sebenza 31 in Magnacut, both the Insingo and Drop point versions are shown. I compare them against the Large Sebenza and Inkosi. I give you my initial impressions and discuss them. #chrisreeve #knife #knives #crk

I finally bit the bullet and bought sebenza 31 large In magnacut with black micarta inlays. It was hard to find so when I got notice I just did it. Don't tell me wife. I hope I'm not disappointed. I've been wanting magnacut un a reeves folder too

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

That’s so exciting! I hope you like it. Warning-you’ll want more 😂

[@HorsepowerHeaven]

I just did the exact same thing last night 😂 Finally Found a left hand version in magnacut and couldn’t resist

[@brianfreeman2500]

Bank vault action. Some hunters like drop point shape for skinning game. Also you can remove the lanyard non-destructively if you take it apart.

[@anthonyd6881]

Great overview and comparison of the 31 and both blade shapes. Thanks!

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Thanks Anthony!

[@bawhite125]

This was a very helpful video in making my decision about which CRK model to snag. Tyvm!!!

[@MaineOutdoorsChannel]

Nice collection thanks for sharing... the large sebenza is more practical in size for most jobs, the small is easer to carry... I suggest the first sebenza should be a large

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

I completely agree... I find myself carrying my Large sebenza much more... It's a great knife.

[@JustAnotherDayToday]

Nice collection, Mitch. Just found your channel and glad to see a fellow cyclist. Love the Zipps!

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Thanks buddy.

[@vincentwyble5346]

You should cut test the different blade geometries

[@kaizen5023]

Cut tests or Magnacut didn't happen 😬 Hehhe I'm really curious how their Magnacut performs compared to Spyderco's for instance.

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Blade geometry and heat treat will determine a lot… for me, it won’t make a difference 😂

[@damienhughes7228]

I’ll say that my sebenza in magnacut performs exceptionally well. Sharpens up well, gets a very sticky edge, holds it well, and it strops right back to hair splitting sharp. I am curious to see what Spyderco does with it too

[@floridaman727]

I have magnacut from hinderer, protech, heretech, Microtech, CRK, and Medford. CRK is the best

[@jesseespinosa9739]

Way to casually bring the ‘Zaan out for reference. Whip something up, huh?

[@Laglagpaddy]

Other than thickness, does the micarta on the small 31 offer more grip and texture? I'm torn between keeping my plain jane small or selling it and moving up to a micarta.

[@simonking8198]

I think it does. Helps the grip and general feel imo

[@CristianHeredia0]

I’ve watched so many videos hoping someone would size compare the bugout with a CRK. Thanks!

[@francescocastanon1601]

I would like to buy a CRK but I am between Plain Jane or Micarta, what are your thoughts? are they better with micarta? or do they become slippery?

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

Depends on the size of your hand… PJ is classic tho and stands the test of time

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

I ask this question as I have no idea. Does Chris Reeve stamp the blade with the type of steel used? I ask this so that the new person to knives knows when looking at a knife like Chris Reeve you know steel type without asking. I.E. Spyderco and Benchmade…thanks in advance

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

No they are ground :)

[@MaineOutdoorsChannel]

you have to take the knife apart and look for a letter stamped on the inside of the slab

[@MitchOnTwoWheels]

@@MaineOutdoorsChannel yup

[@gregheidrich5168]

Any of the Lock Rock I have seen on Line?

[@mosab643]

How did you afford all of them?

[@michaell397]

Man CRK can ruin some nice Canvas Micarta. GRRRRRR!!! They don't use the end grain for their nice wood inlays. end Grain is nothing but Drop. (the work we use for cutoffs and scrap in the machine trade because it is what we sweep up off the floor at the end of the day). KnifeMaker

[@markcomisky7106]

Hydraulic fluid power

[@DB.KOOPER]

Ladies and gentlemen THE most overrated and overpriced knife on the planet (amazing that it's not a POS Benchmade I know). Literally the laziest, worst lock-type ever invented (frame locks) and the most overhyped piece of pocket jewelry for guys who don't actually use their knives. I met Chris years ago when I was working with Gerber and Benchmade doing field testing he's a nice guy but... these knives are a JOKE. They're literally purses for "men" with soft hands.
