>>1022104I actually didn't fall for anything, I was well aware of the complaints about the Sebenza, including yours if you're sharpening/SpydieChef anon. However, a big part of what I enjoy about the knife hobby is testing and reviewing new things, and the controversy and hype around the Seb was what made me want to try one for myself. I also noticed that pretty much all of the reviews out there were done with the old 58-59 HT and not with the new 59-60, and I want to see if the change makes the difference.
I figure the worst case scenario is that I hate it and sell or trade it off for a $50-100 loss, not that big of a deal.
Also, said douchebag didn't get anything from me, he divorced a couple of years ago and his wife ended up with the company. I believe the new HT was her doing, too.
