When you first get into knives, it’s a major shock to the system to see just how much they can cost. We often joke about this by comparing them to what our videographer Thomas paid for his truck, but sometimes the cost is no laughing matter. A single custom handmade knife can fetch thousands of dollars; tens of thousands for something handcrafted by one of the true legends in the industry. But if that doesn’t scare you away and you find yourself going down the rabbit hole of ‘best knife for the money,’ you’ll find one name—and one knife—mentioned more than any other. That would be Chris Reeve Knives, and their Sebenza original frame lock folder.We could write a whole blog article about the history of this knife dating back over 30 years and the constant improvements to the design that have continued until today. But that’s not what we’re here for: this is an ode to the best folding knife money can buy and why it’s worth every penny.I bought my first Sebenza as a birthday present to myself way back in 2012, thinking in part that it would be the last knife I’d ever need to buy. I was right in one sense and drastically wrong in another. It was the last knife I needed to buy but, of course, it wasn’t the last knife I did buy. I’ve been fortunate to improve my collection with mid-tech and custom knives since then but nothing, and I do mean nothing, matches the quality of this near nine-year-old Sebenza.The Sebenza is everything you want and need in a folding knife, with hands down the best manufacturing tolerances in the industry. That’s what sets them apart from all the rest. Ever since the company’s inception, CRK’s commitment to quality has never wavered; they would sooner slow down production than deliver an imperfect knife. Chris Reeve Sebenza folding knife on wood background surrounded by watch, phone, and keysNine years later, and this knife still functions as smoothly as the day I bought it. Plus, I’ve never had to adjust a single screw on this knife, ever. Yes, the edge is no longer factory and the Micarta inlays look like they’ve seen some stuff, but it still locks up like a bank vault and glides open like butter. Chris never intended for the Sebenza to be flicked open—knowing it would put unnecessary stress on the blade when it crashed into the stop pin—but the sound of the lock engaging is one of the most distinct and pleasing sounds in the knife industry, a haptic pleasure you can’t help but enjoy every time you open the blade. When you buy a Chris Reeve Sebenza, you’re buying a knife for life. Send it in for a spa treatment whenever you want and they’ll re-tumble the blade, re-sandblast the handle, and send you back a knife that looks brand new. Ever try and find a used Sebenza? They hold their value like no other knife, because there’s always someone looking for a user or maybe a special one for a collection.   The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com

When a new knife comes out, one of the first things people want to know is: does it have washers or bearings? Both have their advantages (and disadvantages), but there’s no doubt that ball bearings are the de-facto favorite these days. But do they really make a difference? Many gravitate toward ball bearings thinking they’ll get crisp, clean deployment action every time. And as long as the detent is properly set, they’re usually right. Bearings offer a frictionless feel like nothing else. Plus, you’ll find them on high-end custom knives more often than not. However, that doesn’t mean they are the end all be all. Washers—phosphor bronze, Teflon, or otherwise—have been used in knives for decades for good reason. They do better than bearings when used in wet, sandy, or dusty environments. Washers are tried and tested and their simple, somewhat self-sealing construction naturally keeps debris from seizing them up. Pair them with a solid detent and the benefits far outweigh their only drawback: speed.Well, if it’s speed you’re after, why not let a spring do all the work? For knives where the detents can’t always be hand-tuned per knife, assisted opening mechanisms—Ken Onion’s SpeedSafe system, for example—are a great choice. Once the blade is deployed a fraction of the way, the mechanism takes over, opening the blade with authority each and every time. It’s dependable, easy to use, and nearly fool-proof, making it an ideal choice for a tactical knife. You can rest assured that your knife will deploy when you need it, plus they’re a mighty fun way to kill some time.Knife pivot bearings on white background: ball bearings, teflon washers, and phosphor bronze washersThat brings us back to the question at hand: do bearings really make a difference? Yes, I think they do. Now, don’t get me wrong, if you need a work knife or a tactical/combat folder, then no, you should go with washers; maybe even throw in assisted-opening for good measure! Washers are more dependable all around, often more economical, and they work just as well if you’re not the kind of knife-obsessed guy who writes (or reads!) an article about pivot bearings. Ball bearings are like extra cheese on your favorite pizza, or that cherry on top of a perfect sundae: not strictly necessary, just extra-special. In terms of folding knives, bearings give your knife that little something that makes you reach for it as you go out the door.Let’s be honest: bearings help make a knife into a better fidget toy, and that’s okay. It’s okay to derive joy from the way your knife operates. Sure, you may have to run compressed air through the pivot when it gets jammed with pocket lint, or squeeze some pivot grease in there if that doesn’t work, but the attachment to a new knife comes not just from using it, it comes from tinkering with and maintaining it over the years.
