Chris Reeve Knives Large Sebenza 31 Plain Drop Point – CPM S35VN, Titanium, (June 2021) (L31-1000)

Description

The Chris Reeve Knives Large Sebenza 31 stands as the pinnacle of folding knife design – a true icon among collectors and discerning users worldwide. This particular example, model L31-1000, features the classic plain drop point blade in premium CPM S35VN stainless steel, heat-treated to 59-60 HRC for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness that has defined CRK’s reputation for decades.

Handcrafted in the USA, the blade showcases a stonewashed finish that enhances durability while maintaining that signature CRK aesthetic. The handle is constructed from lightweight yet incredibly strong 6Al4V titanium, delivering flawless ergonomics, the legendary Reeve Integral Lock (with ceramic ball interface for smooth, reliable operation), and precise tolerances that make every deployment feel buttery smooth.

This Sebenza 31 dates to June 22, 2021 – an appealing birthdate for collectors seeking earlier S35VN specimens from the Sebenza 31 production run (prior to the later adoption of MagnaCut steel). It arrives complete with the original Chris Reeve Knives presentation box, assembly diagram card, embroidered cloth pouch, lanyard, and factory maintenance lubricants – everything as it left the Boise facility.

Whether you’re adding to a serious CRK collection, seeking a heirloom-quality everyday carry, or investing in one of the most respected production folders ever made, this Large Sebenza 31 delivers unmatched performance, resale value, and pride of ownership. A timeless piece from the masters of the integral frame lock.
