Are Chris Reeve Knives Worth It?

Controversy regarding the brand Chris Reeve Knives began stirring on BladeForums and Reddit as many fans of the brand began to question why Chris Reeve Knives had not begun switching to the latest and greatest technologies when they were the original innovators of design and function. I urge you to see for yourself the many opinions that are splitting the community  BladeForums:  https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/any-talk-of-a-steel-change.1534174/ and Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/knives/comments/8706i4/why_the_sebenza_fanboys_drive_me_crazy/ . Undoubtedly, the creator, Chris Reeve, a South African tool maker, has brought a lot of influence and innovation in the world of pocketknives since his debut in 1984 with the invention of the integral lock, better known as the “frame lock” and the focus on tolerances to create a premium product. As the name “frame lock” implies, that is where the frame acts as a locking mechanism due to a cutout which wedges itself under the blade for a secure lockup that minimizes the possibly of the knife closing on your fingers when in use. Unlike the “old timer” knives that your grandpa may have carried which have no lock at all (think swiss army knife), this lock helps the user feel a sense of security. This invention lead to a revolution of locking knives which only became better, easier to use, and increased the vast world of pocket knife design. Not only did Chris Reeve lead this revolution, he further expanded it by teaming up with the steel company Crucible and help invent S30V, S35VN, and the recent S45VN which are all steels with the purpose of being used in folding knives as mentioned on their website https://chrisreeve.com/pages/our-story where one can learn the history of their company, their work, and many of their services. However, many fans feel that the expensive price of anywhere from $375, to more than $600 depending on the model, can no longer be justified because many companies are able to make knives cheaper, with modern fancy steels, and with similar quality. Although Chris Reeve Knives may seem outdated by today’s modern standards of “super steels” and high tolerances, I believe the brand remains popular for the classic feel and design of the Iconic Sebenza model along with newer models of knives which have slowly become classics themselves considering that their “new models” have been around for many years without change. As mentioned on KnifeInformer, a website dedicated to informing knife collectors, users, and enthusiasts, with just about anything related to knives, much of the influence and continued love for the brand comes from it’s long history and influence on the modern era and innovation which can be seen here https://knifeinformer.com/chris-reeve-knives/. Also mentioned in BladeMagazine, they give a history of Chris Reeve and his journey to becoming a massive influence, winning many awards for their work and innovation in the industry https://blademag.com/blade-magazine-cutlery-hall-of-fame#reeve. It is my belief that Chris Reeve sticks to it’s roots because it focuses on being a company for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the brand for the impact it has created in their hobbies. Their influence has led to constant innovation and a desire for companies to do more, and to do it better. In my opinion, the company exist for the sake of reminder much like multiple examples of companies who are around because of their influence. Think of companies like Rolex, Omega, Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini, Ford, Honda etc. who are around (and popular) and hold onto their roots because of their histories and innovation. They become more so symbols to enthusiasts of watches, cars, clothes, design, etc. who appreciate where the modern came and what is is compared to. There will always be modern substitutes that will be cheaper, similar, and deemed better for the money, but they do not always replace the influence of classics. This is not to say that those who question their worth are in the wrong. A person cannot say that a modern home is better than an old fashioned home and vice versa because it comes down to preference.
