For over three decades, the Sebenza has set the benchmark for premium folding knives, and the Sebenza 31 continues to refine that legacy. Designed and crafted by Chris Reeve Knives, it represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and functionality, earning its reputation as one of the finest pocket knives ever made.
The word Sebenza means "work" in Zulu, and this knife is built to embody that purpose. Combining the precision of handcrafted artistry with the efficiency of production-level manufacturing, the Sebenza 31 is globally recognized for its unyielding durability and iconic "bank vault" lockup. It revolutionized the knife world with the introduction of the Reeve Integral Lock (frame lock), a design innovation that remains unmatched to this day.
The Sebenza 31 takes innovation further with a ceramic ball interface that enhances the lock mechanism's stability and extends its longevity beyond traditional steel interfaces. Paired with the cutting-edge CPM-MagnaCut blade—hollow-ground and hardened to 63-64HRC—this knife offers unparalleled edge retention and low-maintenance performance.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from its glass-blasted titanium handles to the stonewashed finish on its blade, the Sebenza 31 is more than a knife—it's a tool, a legacy, and a testament to quality.
