Not sure why it took so long, have way more $$ in guns I get to shoot 2-3 times a month. Use a knife 4+ days a week. Always used an ultratech and been very pleased. Traded into a Sebenza today, dear god. Always heard you can just feel the quality, never understood it til I played with this one. Was planning on it being a catch and release. Instead it has created a problem... Exceptionally nice knife. Feels like a fixed blade when locked. Opening/closing are extremely smooth. Lightweight. Carries like a dream. Makes my junk tingle a little everytime I yank it out of the pocket and open it a few times. Feels like when I first got my P7. A knife I have looked at for a long time and could not more highly recommend.
