Product Overview

The Chris Reeve Knives Small Sebenza 31 S31-1124-002 is a premium American-made folding knife that combines precision engineering, high-performance materials, and distinctive natural detailing. Featuring a stonewashed CPM MagnaCut Insingo blade, glass-blasted titanium handles, and genuine Bog Oak inlays, this Sebenza 31 offers a refined balance of everyday functionality and timeless design.

The 2.99-inch Insingo blade features a distinctive, elongated cutting profile designed for efficient slicing and practical everyday use. Its stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued appearance, while the CPM MagnaCut steel provides an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

The 6AL-4V titanium handle combines a glass-blasted finish with natural Bog Oak inlays, creating a distinctive contrast between technical precision and organic character. Chris Reeve's Reeve Integral Lock, ceramic ball interface, and single thumb lug contribute to the precise operation and dependable construction expected from the Sebenza 31.

Design & Materials

The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, specified at 63–64 HRC. This premium steel offers an excellent combination of edge retention, toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it well suited to demanding everyday cutting applications.

The Insingo blade shape is distinguished by its sweeping cutting edge and broad, practical profile. Designed with slicing performance in mind, it provides useful cutting geometry for everyday utility tasks. The stonewashed finish creates a subdued appearance that complements the knife's functional design.

The handle is precision machined from 6AL-4V titanium and features glass-blasted surfaces with genuine Bog Oak inlays. The glass-blasted titanium provides a refined, matte texture, while the natural wood adds warmth, character, and individuality. Silver hardware completes the understated aesthetic.

The combination of premium stainless steel, titanium, and natural wood creates a sophisticated everyday-carry knife that balances practical durability with distinctive craftsmanship.

Action & Lock Performance

The Small Sebenza 31 uses Chris Reeve's Reeve Integral Lock, a frame-locking mechanism that incorporates a section of the titanium handle to secure the blade in its open position.

The ceramic ball interface is part of the knife's carefully engineered lock design, while the single thumb lug allows deliberate manual deployment. These features work together with the precision-machined titanium construction to support consistent operation and secure blade engagement.

As with any folding knife, ensure the blade is fully open and the lock is properly engaged before use. Keep fingers clear of the blade path during deployment and closing.

Care & Maintenance
  • Clean the blade after use and dry it before storage
  • Maintain the MagnaCut edge with suitable sharpening equipment
  • Wipe the glass-blasted titanium with a soft microfiber cloth
  • Avoid prolonged exposure of the Bog Oak inlays to moisture
  • Keep the handle inlays clean and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
  • Periodically inspect the pivot hardware and locking mechanism
  • Follow Chris Reeve Knives' recommended maintenance procedures when servicing the knife

Routine cleaning and careful maintenance will help preserve the Sebenza 31's cutting performance, titanium finish, natural Bog Oak inlays, and precise mechanical operation for years of dependable use.
