Combining precision machining, proven engineering, and refined materials, the Sebenza 31 delivers exceptional reliability and performance in a timeless everyday carry design.

This configuration features a CPM MagnaCut Insingo blade with a stonewashed finish. The Insingo blade shape provides a strong, low-profile cutting edge optimized for controlled slicing, push cuts, and everyday utility while maintaining excellent durability and edge performance.

Proudly made in the USA, the Large Sebenza 31 reflects Chris Reeve Knives' commitment to tight tolerances, functional design, and long-term durability. Built for users who value consistency and craftsmanship, it remains a benchmark for high-end EDC folding knives.

Design & Materials

The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel hardened to 63–64 HRC, offering an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The Insingo profile provides a practical cutting geometry with a durable point and excellent slicing capability.

The titanium handle is precision machined from 6Al-4V grade 5 titanium and finished with a glass blast treatment, creating a uniform matte texture that improves grip while reducing reflectivity. Natural canvas micarta inlays add additional traction and provide a refined contrast against the titanium frame.

Silver hardware complements the clean, understated appearance of the Sebenza 31 while maintaining the functional simplicity and durability expected from Chris Reeve Knives.
