Chris Reeve Sebenza 31 Large Ebony MagnaCut

Product detailed description

The Chris Reeve Sebenza 31 represents the pinnacle of precision knife craftsmanship, designed for heavy-duty use. The name "Sebenza" means "work" in the Zulu language, which accurately describes its purpose - a reliable tool for everyday activities. It is manufactured with meticulous care by hand, with each piece meeting the highest standards of mechanical precision and durability.
The blade made of CPM MagnaCut steel with a hardness of 63-64 HRC combines excellent wear resistance with easy maintenance. The hollow-cut geometry promotes excellent cutting properties and optimum control when working. The stonewash finish minimizes the visibility of minor scratches and improves the overall aesthetics of the knife.
The patented Reeve Integral Lock, built right into the back of the handle, ensures the blade locks firmly in the open position. The tension at the end of the slot allows the spring to move to the base of the blade, thus locking securely without unwanted play. This mechanism contributes to the characteristic "bank safe" feel when handling.
The ergonomic grade 5 titanium handle provides lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Precision shaping and fine texturing ensure a comfortable grip even with prolonged use. The phosphor-bronze pad system reduces friction when opening and closing the blade, resulting in smooth, seamless operation.
The Sebenza 31 is an icon among knives that has earned a reputation for uncompromising quality, whether in the workplace or as part of a collection.

Ebony is one of the hardest and densest woods known. Its density often exceeds 1000 kg/m³, which means that it does not float on water. Due to its fine texture and natural high gloss, it is exceptionally suited for the production of luxury details such as knife blades. The surface is dark, mostly black to dark brown, with minimal veining, which enhances its elegant appearance and contrast to metallic elements.

When worked, ebony shows considerable resistance to common tools - its hardness requires precise and sharp milling or grinding wheels with carbide inserts. In addition, due to its density and natural oil content, it shrinks minimally, ensuring exceptional dimensional stability. This parameter is crucial when used in highly stressed components such as knife blades, which must withstand changes in temperature, humidity and wear over long periods of time.
