CRKSIN1116: Small Inkosi, Glass Blasted, Black Canvas Micarta

Chris Reeve Knives

The Inkosi is a family of folding knives that will claim the position of Chief alongside the iconic Sebenza. This Inkosi features glass blasted handles, a tumbled finish drop point blade, titanium hardware and double lugs in gorgeous silver. Build with handcrafted care at a production level, the Inkosi continues to push the characteristics of the Integral Lock, blade strength, pivot and lock tolerances as well as overall ergonomics.

A carefully developed hollow grind, strengthened pivot and sturdy lock up were the starting points for the family of Inkosi folding knives. While challenging the standards of the Integral Lock, the Inkosi is the most overbuilt knife of its kind, a true testament of strength. Using a ceramic ball as an interface for the lock bar to the blade tang, it ensures a lifetime of consistent lock up.

This is the first time Chris Reeve Knives has been able to use twin, oversized washers with an Integral Lock. The washer diameter is wider than the blade securing zero sideways play. With larger lubrication holes there is even less surface area of friction.

With their Large Hollow Grind technology, they use a shallow radius to add more strength to the blade, making it halfway between a flat grind and their standard hollow grind.

Features

  • At 97HRC, the strength of the ceramic ball end lock provides a lifetime of consistent lock up
  • Mounted Pocket Clip rests on the back face, eliminating the possibility of pressure on the lockbar and provides a more ergonomic grip
  • Large Hollow Grind, a more shallow radiused grind, provides a combination of strength from a flat grind with proven sharpening longevity from a hollow grind
  • Twin over-sized Phosphor-bronze washers
  • Slip Through Stop Pin
  • Large Pivot

Cons: Ease of Opening
Impressive build quality
Very pleased with this knife. Everything I've read about the precision manufacturing of CRK is evident. Feels very substantial. I am looking forward to the post-break-in period when the blade will be loose enough to open with one hand using the thumb stud. I called CRK to ask about this, and they recommended loosening the hinge. I'll be patient and give it more time to break in first, and then either follow their guidance or just use two hands to open it. I don't really want to mess with their build process.
