I've had my Large 21 for a few years now.

When I first started getting into blades I kept seeing post after post on the big blade forums about the CRK Sebenza. Had no idea what a "Sebenza" was but folks that had them, sure seemed to hold them in high regard. Most expensive knife I'd bought before this was around $40. Took the plunge and have been pleased since the first day I got it.

The materials aren't really all the outlandish and the design is pretty simple but the quality of manufacture is stellar. I'm carrying it this week and while it really doesn't do anything most all my other blades won't do it just looks better doing them. Kind of like owning a Taurus revolver or a S&W. They both do the same thing, in most cases they even look a lot alike. It's just that when you pick them both up you immediately know the S&W is more gun for the money. The Sebenza is the same way. Sometime it's nice to splurge for a little quality just for the ownership of it.

For me that would be my Paramilitary 2. I have a hard time spending more than $100 on a folding knife, (Or less than $50) but I 'splurged' and bought mine 3 years ago. Carry it almost every day. But I just don't make enough money to be able to afford one of those in the foreseeable future.

The Paramilitary, especially the Para II is one of my favorite Spyderco models. With the Sebenza just imagine the Para with twice the level of fit and finish and titanium.
