Product Description

The Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 L31-1690-73 Forever Flag CGG is a tribute to American heritage and a personal statement from Chris and Anne Reeve — naturalized citizens who have carried the Forever Flag on their knives since 2002 as a symbol of pride, unity, and freedom. This Computer Generated Graphic edition depicts the American flag in motion — stars and flowing stripes rendered as a precise outline graphic on glass blasted 6AL4V titanium — on the platform that has defined precision production folding knives for over three decades. Drop point blade. Stonewashed CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC. Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic ball interface. Tip-down right carry. Made in the USA.

The blade is ground from CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC — Crucible's particle metallurgy stainless steel engineered by Dr. Larrin Thomas to simultaneously deliver edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance at levels that previous stainless grades could not achieve together. The drop point profile is the versatile workhorse of the Sebenza lineup: a controlled tip that handles everyday EDC tasks from food preparation to package opening, a generous belly for slicing, and a full-length primary edge that performs across the complete range of daily cutting tasks. The hollow grind at 0.12" thin optimizes the geometry for a refined cutting feel behind the edge. The stonewashed finish provides a field-appropriate surface that hides wear and carries beautifully in daily use.

The handle is precision-machined from 6AL4V titanium with a glass blasted finish — smoother and more refined than standard sandblasting, with increased scratch resistance and a premium matte surface that showcases the Forever Flag CGG graphic. Stars and flowing stripes rendered in precise outline etching on the titanium create a graphic that is patriotic without being loud — distinctly American, distinctly refined. The Reeve Integral Lock is machined directly from the titanium handle frame as an integral component; the ceramic ball interface between the lock bar and blade tang provides wear-free, consistent lockup over a lifetime of use. The offset pocket clip design reduces pressure on the lock bar during carry. DOB March 31, 2026. Made in Boise, Idaho, USA.

Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 L31-1690-73: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Forever Flag CGG Drop Point, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What is the story behind the Forever Flag CGG on Chris Reeve Knives?

The Forever Flag has appeared on Chris Reeve knives since 2002 — a personal tribute by Chris and Anne Reeve, who became naturalized American citizens and have carried the flag on their knives as a symbol of pride, unity, and freedom ever since. The CGG (Computer Generated Graphic) edition depicts the American flag in motion: stars and flowing stripes rendered as a precise outline graphic on the glass blasted titanium handle scales, representing a nation flying prominently through both triumph and tragedy. The L31-1690-73 carries this graphic on the most precise American-made production folding knife in the world — manufactured in Boise, Idaho by the Chris Reeve Knives team.

How does the drop point Sebenza 31 (L31-1690-73) compare to the Tanto (L31-1510) and Insingo (L31-1685-65)?

All three share the same Large Sebenza 31 platform: CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC, 3.61” blade, hollow grind, stonewashed finish, glass blasted 6AL4V titanium handle, Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic ball interface, 4.7 oz. The differences are blade profile and hardware. The drop point (L31-1690-73) is the most versatile profile — controlled tip, generous belly, full-length edge for all everyday tasks. The tanto (L31-1510) has a reinforced angular tip for penetration with silver hardware and tip-down. The Insingo (L31-1685-65) has a curved spine for slicing-optimized performance with blue hardware and tip-up. The drop point is the daily driver; the tanto is for hard use; the Insingo is for cutting performance.

What is CPM MagnaCut, and why does Chris Reeve Knives use it in the Sebenza 31?

CPM MagnaCut is Crucible Industries’ particle metallurgy stainless steel engineered by Dr. Larrin Thomas to simultaneously achieve the three properties that had previously required tradeoffs: edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. CPM MagnaCut was specifically designed to close the gap between high-carbide wear-resistant steels (great edge retention, poor toughness) and traditional stainless steels (good corrosion resistance, modest edge retention). At 63-64 HRC on the Sebenza 31, CPM MagnaCut delivers the hardness and edge life that CRK buyers expect from the platform, with corrosion resistance and toughness that match the Sebenza’s intended use as a daily carry tool backed by a lifetime guarantee.

What is the Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic ball interface on the Sebenza 31?

The Reeve Integral Lock (RIL) is machined directly from the 6AL4V titanium handle frame as an integral component — not a separate liner inserted into the handle. This has been the standard for precision titanium frame locks in production folding knives since the original Sebenza in 1987. The ceramic ball interface is a CRK refinement where a ceramic ball is seated between the titanium lock bar and the steel blade tang at the lockup contact point. Ceramic is significantly harder and smoother than titanium, so the ceramic ball creates wear-free contact between lock bar and tang over a lifetime of use — preventing the metal-on-metal wear that degrades conventional lock bars over time. Zero blade play in any direction is the result.

What does the offset pocket clip design on the Sebenza 31 do?

The offset pocket clip on the Large Sebenza 31 is geometrically positioned so its attachment points do not sit directly above the Reeve Integral Lock bar on the handle frame. When a conventional clip mounts directly over the lock bar, the spring pressure of the clip bearing against the inside of a pocket can transfer lateral force to the lock bar, potentially affecting lock engagement over time. The offset design routes clip forces away from the lock bar, protecting the precision lockup geometry that CRK machines into every Sebenza. On the L31-1690-73, the stamped clip mounts tip-down for right carry with this protective geometry.
