That is kind of why I started getting rid of my production knives and started ordering customs. Lovin' the knife I am EDCing now. Sure the price was a little on the high side but it is exactly what I wanted, built like a tank and a true lefty.

Yeah if you're a lefty it is awfully hard to get a quality knife. The Sebenza is a good slicer, the knife lock up is amongst the best I've seen. The opening is pretty damn smooth but I expected better on that. Yeah the handle on the Umumzaan or whatever it's called turned me off.
Unfortunately the price tag on the CRK's is definitely way overpriced. The Sebenza would be a great knife at ~$300, at $410 it's just another good knife. I was underwhelmed, same with the Strider. They are REALLY simple knives, I can't see the justification for their price tags at all. I've owned 2/3 and held all 3....the XM-18 is the only one worth it's price tag. Even then I find that there is no perfect knife no matter how much you spend or what you buy.
