Fresh from the sharpening bench. Sharpened this one yesterday on the Wicked Edge. It was a struggle to get the tanto tip right. But it worked out great in the end! You have to put the knife in diagonally to sharpen the tip in the right angle. No convex edge though

Does someone know when they stopped with putting the ball bearing groove on the lock face of the large Inkosi? I’m waiting a march 2018 Inkosi. Getting hopefully next week
This one is in my pocket today. Don’t know the exact birthdate but the date code on the handle is A-17. It doesn’t have the ball grooveThanks! my first Inkosi had it and I encountered no disadvantages. Why did they stop making the groove?

Just from what I recall I think Chris deemed it unnecessary

A few years ago I wanted this model with the insingo blade and natural Micarta scales.
I'm reaching a new milestone my career on Friday so I just purchased one as a gift to myself.
I'm pumped.

Congrats. That one would definitely be in the running to keep if I had to let a bunch of them go. Insingo is such a useful shape for me

I was hesitant to commit to the Inkosi because of the finger cutouts and lack of pivot bushing, but now I'm so impressed with this design. Just got this in today:
What do you think about it now? I'm excited to receive mine.

Always a heartbreaker. One good thing about Usps is that they’ll deliver on Saturday
