Product Description

The Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Inlay L31-1130 is the boardroom Sebenza — the configuration that pairs ancient material with the most precise production folding knife made in the USA. Stabilized Bog Oak inlays, glass blasted 6AL4V titanium, gold-anodized thumb lug and backspacer, CPM MagnaCut tanto at 63-64 HRC, Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic ball interface. Built to work. Finished for any room you walk into. $650.00. DOB March 2, 2026. Made in Boise, Idaho.

The blade is ground from CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC — Crucible's particle metallurgy stainless steel engineered to simultaneously deliver edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that previous stainless grades could not achieve together. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip — primary and secondary edges meeting at a strong angle to create more tip cross-section and penetration strength than a drop point, backed by the daily cutting performance of the full primary edge. The stonewashed finish wears well in carry and use. On the L31-1130, the tanto is the right blade choice: this is the Sebenza configured for the buyer who wants capability and refinement in the same knife.

The handle is where the L31-1130 distinguishes itself from every other Sebenza 31. Stabilized Bog Oak — ancient oak preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years, naturally darkened to near-black by the tannin-rich bog environment, then stabilized with resin for dimensional stability. Bog Oak is one of the rarest natural handle materials used in fine production knives; the deep, dark character of each piece is unique, the result of its specific journey through centuries of preservation. No two L31-1130 inlays are identical. The glass blasted 6AL4V titanium handle frame provides the refined matte texture and precision chassis that the Sebenza platform is built on. Gold-anodized thumb lug and backspacer create a high-contrast accent against the dark Bog Oak and glass blasted titanium — a combination that is simultaneously elegant and understated. Reeve Integral Lock with ceramic ball interface; deep carry tip-up stamped clip; right carry. Made in Boise, Idaho, USA.

Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Inlay L31-1130: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 31 Bog Oak Inlay with CPM MagnaCut Tanto and gold hardware, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What is Bog Oak, and why is it used as a Sebenza 31 inlay material?

Bog Oak is ancient oak wood that has been preserved in peat bogs — sometimes for thousands of years — where the low-oxygen, high-tannin, acidic environment naturally darkens and hardens the wood over time. The result is a material with a distinctive near-black to deep brown character that no freshly cut wood replicates, because it comes from the wood’s own centuries-long interaction with its environment rather than any staining or treatment. Bog Oak is then stabilized with resin to ensure dimensional stability for use in knife handles — the resin penetrates the wood at the cellular level, preventing expansion or contraction from humidity changes. Because no two pieces of Bog Oak share exactly the same grain, figure, or depth of darkening, every L31-1130 Bog Oak inlay is unique. This material is used on the Sebenza 31 Inlay series because it represents the kind of natural rarity and historical depth that matches the precision and pedigree of the CRK platform.

Will my Bog Oak inlay match the product photography?

No — Bog Oak is a natural material and every piece expresses different grain, figure, and depth of darkening. The product photography represents the configuration and approximate character of the Bog Oak; the specific inlay on your knife will be unique to that piece. If the specific Bog Oak character matters to you before purchase, contact the Knifeworks team at Help@Knifeworks.com or call 888-225-9775 — our team can describe current stock and provide additional photography of the specific knife available.

What does the gold hardware on the L31-1130 consist of, and how does it complement the Bog Oak?

The gold hardware on the L31-1130 consists of a gold-anodized thumb lug and backspacer. Titanium anodization creates an oxide layer that refracts light at gold wavelengths — the color is inherent to the oxide layer on the titanium, not a paint or plating, which makes it significantly more durable than conventional gold-colored finishes. Against the deep, near-black Bog Oak inlays and the matte grey glass blasted titanium handle frame, the gold hardware creates a high-contrast accent that is warm and refined rather than aggressive — an elegant combination that gives the L31-1130 a character distinct from the silver and blue hardware Sebenza 31 variants.

How does the Tanto configuration on the L31-1130 compare to the drop point and Insingo Sebenza 31 variants?

The Large Sebenza 31 Inlay L31-1130 uses a tanto profile — the primary and secondary edges meet at a strong angle near the tip, creating a reinforced tip with more cross-section and penetration strength than a drop point. For collectors and buyers who carry the Sebenza as a hard-use tool, the tanto provides tip durability that a drop point cannot replicate. The drop point variants (L31-1690-73) offer the most versatile everyday geometry. The Insingo variants (L31-1685-65, L31-1008-43) offer slicing-optimized performance. The L31-1130 Tanto Inlay is the unique configuration that combines hard-use blade geometry with the most premium material and hardware combination in the Sebenza 31 lineup at Knifeworks.

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. It has been the standard for precision titanium frame locks in production folding knives since the original Sebenza in 1987. The ceramic ball interface seats between the titanium lock bar and blade tang at the lockup point — ceramic is harder and smoother than titanium, creating wear-free contact over a lifetime of use. Zero blade play in any direction is the result — the famous bank-vault lockup Sebenza users describe. On the L31-1130, the RIL is housed in the same glass blasted 6AL4V titanium frame as every other Sebenza 31, with the Bog Oak inlays sitting flush in precision-machined recesses in the frame.
