Large Sebenza 31
KnifeArt has been an authorized Chris Reeve dealer for over 25 years, and our relationship with the Large Sebenza 31 runs deeper than any other dealer. We developed the Insingo blade: the concept and draft drawings originated here at KnifeArt, with final design and technical modifications completed by Chris Reeve Knives. We are the only dealer offering the KnifeArt exclusive Carbon Fiber Sebenza 31, built specifically for us by the CRK shop in Boise, Idaho. When you buy here, you skip the long wait that comes with ordering directly. We stock the full Chris Reeve Sebenza 31 lineup and normally ship the same business day. Free US shipping on all orders.
The Large Sebenza 31
The Sebenza 31 is the most evolved generation of the knife that introduced the world to the framelock over 30 years ago. "Sebenza" is the Zulu word for "work," and the design has never lost sight of that purpose. The Large Sebenza 31 improves on the Sebenza 21 with tighter aerospace tolerances, a ceramic ball interface on the lockbar for reduced wear and bank-vault lockup, an offset pocket clip repositioned off the lockbar, and a widened inlay pocket. The blade is a 3.61-inch hollow grind in CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, Sebenza 31 MagnaCut heat-treated to 63-64 HRC, a significant upgrade over the S35VN the 21 used. The handle is 6Al4V titanium, glass bead blasted. Overall open length is 8.40 inches, and weight is 4.6 oz. Every CRK Large Sebenza 31 is designed and manufactured in Boise, Idaho, where all machining, assembly, and finishing is handled in-house.
Blade Configurations
The Large Sebenza 31 drop point is the classic all-purpose configuration with a broad belly, controllable tip, and stonewash finish. The Large Sebenza 31 Insingo is a KnifeArt original: its sweeping upswept edge extends cutting surface to the very tip while retaining a strong spine, making it the blade we recommend for food prep and extended cutting tasks. The Large Sebenza 31 Tanto runs a 3.50-inch reinforced tip optimized for piercing and tactical applications. All three profiles are available in the standard titanium configuration, inlay models in bog oak, box elder, and Macassar ebony wood, or black and natural canvas Micarta, and in the KnifeArt exclusive Carbon Fiber Sebenza.
KnifeArt Exclusive Carbon Fiber Large Sebenza 31
The Carbon Fiber Sebenza 31 exists because we asked Chris Reeve Knives to build it. The front scale is solid structural carbon fiber, fully machined and lapped by CRK to their standard tolerances. This is not a cosmetic overlay. It is stiffer than titanium at this dimension, textured for grip, and drops the total weight to 3.7 oz., a full ounce lighter than the all-titanium version with no compromise in lockup or fit. The lock side remains full-blown 6Al4V titanium with the standard Reeve Integral Lock. The large sebenza 31 carbon fiber is available in drop point, Insingo, and tanto in CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC. Every configuration ships with the exclusive blue titanium ring bead and braided cord lanyard unique to the KnifeArt series.
