Hats off to anyone who saves up to buy a Chris Reeve knife to be their only edc knife. I have definitely been bitten by the hobby. I have 15 or 16 nice knives and am always looking for the next one.

I have a small sebenza 21. I had a cold steel for a few years and ended up upgrading. I only use the cold steel camping now because It’s so sturdy

I went through that phase for about a year. I now only carry a Giant Mouse fixed blade, a small Inkosi Tanto, a James Brand Ellis and an Opinel #6. I sold off EVERYTHING else.

@guysgear5996 2 жыл бұрын

I was the same way for a long time, I finally sold a few of my knives, saved up a bit, and bought a sebenza. Haven’t looked back since, I can’t imagine carrying anything else.

Great knife. Absolutely agree, this is a perfect balance of form and function. Thanks for sharing.👍😊

Just got mine about an hour ago and just love the heck out of it. I also purchase this model with the sheepfoot blade. It should be here Saturday. Awesome video.

Sold. Been considering this knife with the tanto for a long while. Thanks for the review

Great review. Enjoyed the cutting demos. I went with a PJ Inkosi small Tanto for my bday. Figured the thinner blade stock would benefit from the Tanto design. Extremely happy with my purchase. Perfect gentleman's edc that is high quality and will last me years. On a side note, I still love my Spyderco exclusives though. Sucker for colored G10 and super steels.

Agree with your assessment of the Inkosi. I have the Insingo blade, great tip for piercing and enough belly for slicing. Also, it feels so solid in hand, the pivot and stop pin are MASSIVE, and the huge washers make it so smooth; mine will drop shut.

Just ordered a small inkosi tango with natural micarta after watching your video. My large Sabenza 31 is my EDC. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻🇨🇦

Thanks Kevin! I think it looks awesome. I just acquired one for the collection.

I own the Sebenza 21 in a Tanto, it gets the most pocket time out of all my knives. I would give up the rest for this knife, it really is that good.

awesome review, Their tanto is the most utilitarian in my opinion.

@DavidV4444 4 жыл бұрын

Kevin, fantastic review, you captured the philosophy of Chris Reeve! S35VN sharpens easily, takes a wicked sharp edge, holds the edge very well, is corrosion resistant and is not prone to chipping - the best all around steel IMO. The large washers result in perfect fit, zero blade play and the knife is beautiful and simple.

I am back and forth on two available Large Inkosi Knives. One natural canvas micarta -Tanto - the other Black Micarta Drop Point. I am still stuck but leaning back toward Tanto.

@WColdblooded357W Жыл бұрын

I really like the tanto too. I think it's the best looking version and I feel like I could stick that tip though damn near anything without breaking it

@user-nd1ku3qi7e 4 жыл бұрын

I agree the tanto blade gets an undeserved bad rap. I got my Sebenza 31 in the clip point, but only because the tanto isn’t available at the moment. For those who are more patient than myself, CRK say the tanto Sebenza 31 should be available by year’s end.

He never does :p is it a compusion or prefrence. Some ppl theink the lock/clip side is ugly but on the same hand maybe reviewers feel theres a best side to the kife ( especially for video) i wonder if id buy a little rotating stand and just have it go round and round the whole time:p

I like the tanto blade that CRK does. I have the Umnumzaan in a tanto blade and would be curious on your thoughts on why the Inkosi over the Umnumzaan

@markw7303 4 жыл бұрын

In no way shape or form inkose over umnazan . Only way is if you had to have the small. The umnanzan is a special knife design the inkose is just market segment filler

Regarding "hard use" and "durability" how do you feel the Inkosi compares to the Umnumzaan?

@gentlemansgear5041 3 жыл бұрын

Inkosi is really the most hard use knife CRK offers. All of them can handle pretty much everything you will put them through everyday, but the Inkosi is the most durable. Umnumzaan is great, but the stop pins/thumb studs being only pressured in makes it slightly less durable. In any case you should be just fine because CRK warrenty is amazing and they will fix/replace pretty much everything.

How has it broken in? Is it flickable? Can you spydie flick it? I know it's not really a CRK thing but more just curious. Thanks

One word LOCK ROCK they made the ceramic berring larger and thereforer with out perfect geometry in every other part of the build it poses and issue. Also there just ugly now especially with inlays talk to me when the 41 comes out maybe ill apreciate it by then. Remeber chris reeve is no longer part of the company soooooo take that for what its worth hand feel is also just plain akward and they have gone farther towards mkeing it just another "highend" edc knife. The thrill is gone baby

Got the inkosi with the tanto blade with natural micarta inlays. Love it, those inlays really add to the gripability.
