Chris Reeve L31-1123 Large Sebenza 31
Introducing the Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 (Model L31-1123) — the ultimate everyday carry companion engineered to elevate your cutting experience. “Sebenza” means “work” in Zulu, and this knife honors that tradition with rock-solid performance, precision craftsmanship, and a tactile “bank vault” feel you’ll appreciate every time you deploy the blade.
From the moment you flick open the satin-finished CPM S35VN drop-point blade, you’ll notice the smooth, satisfying lockup of the Reeve Integral Lock with a ceramic ball interface. Clocking in at 59–60 RC, this hollow-ground steel blade strikes the perfect balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening—so it stays razor-sharp through daily tasks and outdoor adventures alike.
The handles are sculpted from 6Al4V titanium, delivering feather-light strength and corrosion resistance. Our artisans in Boise, Idaho hand-polish each frame to a flawless finish and inlay rare Macassar Ebony wood, whose bold stripes and deep browns ensure no two knives look exactly alike. These stabilized wood scales are milled to nestle seamlessly into the titanium liners, offering ergonomic curves that fit your hand like a glove.
Whether you’re slicing rope, opening boxes, or tackling precision work, the offset clip provides secure, low-profile carry—sharpen your readiness without adding bulk. Left-handed users will appreciate the dedicated orientation, while everyone can admire the clean lines, unparalleled fit and finish, and legendary durability that have made the Sebenza a perennial best seller.
For those seeking a touch of artistry, optional Chad Nichols Damascus blades (Boomerang, Ladder, or Raindrop patterns) are available, each showcasing unique, eye-catching waves of steel. Elevate your knife collection with a tool that blends everyday utility, heirloom-quality build, and bespoke aesthetics.
