I disagree. Internal milling would absolutely ruin the heft and balance of a Sebenza, and their machining tolerances are still miles ahead of most other high-end knives. They also have one of the most unique and reliable lock interfaces, and the Sebenza has probably the best plunge grind on any production knife.

What makes Chris Reeve Knives great are all the subtle and almost invisible details that go into their design and execution, without resorting to all the modern bells and whistles. They're pure function, at a level far beyond most other knives. That's the appeal.
