This item is listed in The Back Door.

This knife is listed in The Back Door. The previous owner opened and closed the knife several times on a leather slip to polish and break in the ceramic lock ball interface and washers. It has never been used for cutting and was never carried outside the home. The original leather slip is included. This knife is, for all practical purposes, new.

The Sebenza 31. Box Elder Burl. MagnaCut. Born October 2025.

The Chris Reeve Sebenza has been the standard against which American-made premium folders are measured since the first one left the Boise shop in 1987. The Sebenza 31 is the current evolution of that design: tighter tolerances, an improved ceramic ball interface in the Reeve Integral Lock, and a blade steel upgrade to CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC. This Large Sebenza 31 pairs a 3.61" stonewash drop point blade with Box Elder Burl handle inlays set into glass-blasted 6Al4V titanium scales. Box Elder Burl is a type of maple known for its distinctive, sometimes rosy coloration and complex grain structure. No two inlays are identical. Born October 28, 2025. Comes with the original Chris Reeve leather slip.

The ceramic lock ball interface in the Reeve Integral Lock replaces the titanium-on-steel contact of older Sebenza designs, virtually eliminating lock wear over the life of the knife. The phosphor bronze bushing in the pivot retains lubrication and provides smooth, controlled action. The glass-blasted titanium handle is grippy without being aggressive. At 4.7 oz with an 8.4" overall length, the Large Sebenza 31 carries like a tool and presents like a piece of craftsmanship.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Sebenza is the grail knife for a reason. Bank-vault lockup, MagnaCut blade, Box Elder Burl inlays, born October 2025. This one was opened and closed to break in the ceramics and that is the full extent of its use. At $689 in the Back Door, that is the best price you are going to find on a large box elder Sebenza 31 in current production.
