So those of you that own the Impinda, do you like it and would you recommend it? I have heard nothing but good things about it so far, but I figured this was the best place to get info on it.
I love mine. I had someone proxy it for me from the show when it came out and never regretted the extra price for a second. I have carried it quite a bit and it has some scuffs. Currently it has some paint on it that I need to clean off. I have never disassembled it as there is no need to. It was even advised against it when it came out. But you know how people have to tinker. It’s a great mid sized knife that fills the gap between the small and large sebenza. It snaps open positively and stays open until it’s time to close. I haven’t had as many slipjoints as some others, but have had quite a few and it’s hands down the safest slipjoint I have ever used. It’s a slip joint with CRK quality and Harsey design. Two perfect world in one blade. What more could you ask for. I will buy another eventually just to have a backup, that’s how much I like it. I am hoping to see some CGG/UG versions in the future as I would definitely jump on those.

Thank you so much for the input, I have recently been flip-flopping between the CRK Impinda and a new ADV Pocket Butcher. I have wanted to get more into the traditional side of folding knives for a while now but I was having trouble finding a good starting point. The only traditional folder I currently own is a Benchmade Proper and I have never been a Benchmade fan but thought it would be a good introduction into traditional folders. I know the Impinda is not a necessarily a more modernized traditional folder but I am a pretty big fan of CRK so I defiantly do not mind the price tag. I just cannot seem to decide between the Pocket Butcher or the Impinda
