If you tried to put a picture in here, Craig, it came out as a program of some kind. Better safe than sorry, the program has been deleted in case of an accidental virus. Please try to repost the photo, and we'll see what we can do to help you out! If you need a hand posting photos, feel free to ask for a bit of help.

Info borrowed from True North Knives...

The Chris Reeve frame-lock folding knife that has become the yardstick against which others are compared, the Chris Reeve SEBENZA , has earned a worldwide reputation for rock solid performance and a "bank vault" feel.
The Regular model Sebenza knife was introduced in 1996, replaced the first or original Sebenza profile that had been introduced in 1990. In 2000, because so many customers had asked for the original profile, Chris Reeve introduced the original design as the Classic Sebenza.
In 2008, the Regular Sebenza was discontinued and the SEBENZA 21 is now the standard Sebenza in the CRK lineup.

Whether 21, Regular or Classic versions - tumbled or "stonewashed" S30V blades with bead blasted or decorated handles - to those with Damascus blades and lavish graphics, each Chris Reeve Sebenza knife is individually fitted to the closest tolerances. Available in large or small, 21, Classic (left) or Regular (right), and dedicated right or left handed. A Chris Reeve SEBENZA is guaranteed by the company for life, under proper use. Not only are you buying an award winning cutting tool, you also become a part of the Chris Reeve family.

Specifications
Blade Length: 3 5/8"
Cutting edge: 3 1/2"
Overall Length: 8 3/8"
Closed Length: 4 3/4"
Blade Steel: CPM S35VN Stonewash finish
Handle Material: Blast Titanium
Weight: 4.7 ounces / 131 grams

The knife is indeed a Chris Reeve Sebenza 21. You can find out all about it by contacting Chris Reeve Knives, sharing a picture of the knife, and giving them specifics like overall length, etc. Chris Reeve Knives are very customer oriented and will be glad to help. Check out the Chris Reeves Knives website for contact information and send an email with photo in care of Heather. She will take care of you. Your knife is a Limited Edition which is why a photo along with your inquiry will be helpful.

There are two editions of the Sebenza 21, the Large Sebenza and the Small Sebenza. The latest model of the Large Sebenza is the 25.

If I can be of further help in this please let me know.
