The Chris Reeve Knives Large Sebenza 31 is a benchmark in precision-built folding knives, combining decades of Chris Reeve engineering with refined materials, exceptional machining tolerances, and a timeless design philosophy. The Sebenza 31 represents the continued evolution of one of the most respected premium everyday carry platforms in the world.

This configuration features a 3.61-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel with a stonewashed finish. MagnaCut provides an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, while the drop point profile delivers a versatile cutting edge designed for controlled slicing and everyday utility.

The handle is precision machined from 6Al-4V titanium with a glass blasted finish and features elegant box elder burl inlays for a refined appearance and enhanced visual contrast. Manufactured in the USA, the Large Sebenza 31 showcases Chris Reeve Knives' commitment to precision, reliability, and long-term performance.

The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel hardened to 63–64 HRC, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This advanced blade steel provides the performance required for demanding everyday carry while maintaining excellent durability and ease of maintenance.

The drop point blade shape offers a strong tip, efficient cutting geometry, and a balanced profile ideal for general utility tasks. The stonewashed blade finish provides a durable appearance while helping conceal normal wear from everyday use.

The handle is constructed from grade 5 6Al-4V titanium and finished with Chris Reeve’s glass blasting process, creating a smooth matte texture with improved grip and reduced reflectivity. Box elder burl inlays add a distinctive premium appearance while maintaining the lightweight strength and durability of titanium construction.
