Product Overview

The Chris Reeve Knives Large Sebenza 31 (L31-1224) is a premium everyday carry folding knife recognized for its precision engineering, exceptional reliability, and timeless functional design. Built in the USA, the Sebenza 31 represents the standard for high-end folding knives with a focus on durability, consistency, and long-term performance.

This configuration features a CPM MagnaCut Insingo blade with a stonewashed finish. The Insingo blade shape is optimized for controlled slicing, push cuts, and everyday utility, offering an excellent balance of cutting performance, durability, and versatility.

Designed for collectors and serious EDC users, the Large Sebenza 31 combines premium materials, refined ergonomics, and Chris Reeve Knives' legendary attention to detail into a knife built for decades of dependable service.

Design & Materials

The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel hardened to 63–64 HRC, providing an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The Insingo profile offers a strong, practical cutting edge designed for real-world utility.

The handle is precision machined from 6Al-4V Grade 5 titanium and finished with a glass blast treatment. This creates a uniform matte texture that reduces reflectivity while improving grip and maintaining the refined appearance associated with the Sebenza platform.

Black canvas micarta inlays provide additional traction and comfort while adding a subtle contrast against the titanium frame. Silver hardware completes the design with a clean, traditional finish.

Performance & Use Case

The Large Sebenza 31 is engineered as a premium everyday carry knife for users who demand dependable performance, precision machining, and long-term durability. The Insingo blade excels in controlled cutting tasks while the titanium frame provides strength and confidence during daily use.
