In Zulu, “Sebenza” means “work” – and that’s what this knife is made for. Clean design, flawless workmanship and technical refinement make this model a legend in the premium EDC knife category.
This version comes with a blade made of highly prized CPM MagnaCut stainless steel , which offers the perfect balance between hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance. The stonewash finish gives the blade a subtle matte look while also masking minor scratches from everyday use. The ergonomic handle made of sandblasted 6Al4V titanium is light, strong and comfortable in the hand – and it looks great too.
Thanks to the Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic contact, working with the knife is safe, reliable and smooth as silk.
