Which Small Carbon Fiber Inkosi do you prefer?

I really wish CRK would bring back the one piece inlays like on the annuals. This new inlay design just doesn't agree with me, for many reasons.

I vote the first one,, the solid CF scale on the presentation side looks great. Of course, this is pure opinion. Can't go wrong with either!

 

I prefer the full carbon fiber scale as well.

I don't like the polished slab between the inlays.

 

I prefer the CF inlay, I have the knife art small 21, I like it but I wish I had bought the BHQ CF inlay. It makes the handle feel rounder and more substantial in hand

I prefer the CF Inlay. Looks nicer and you get that third CF inlay on the lock side.









Versus:

 

Inlay for me.

 

Inlay because I prefer a Ti slab over CF.

 

Stop the tease lol!

I like the inlaid models, although they ALL look good. Can't go wrong with any of these.

 

Inlay hands down. Beautiful knives wavicle

 

I much prefer the full scale version:thumbup:

 

I like the inlays much better. No contest imo.

 

Wavicle , is that a Sebenza25 or Inkosi in your pics with the CF inlays second to last pics from bottom ?

 

It's a 25. I grabbed one late last fall knowing they are no longer produced and needed one to complete my collection of 25's.

Very nice. It looks like on the lock side of the handle on the Inkosis it's all bead blasted as opposed to being partially polished and partially bead blasted like on the Sebenza21 and 25.

 

I prefer the inlay.

 

It depends on the type of inlay and the "exclusive" order details. The exclusive carbon fiber inlay versions (from a particular dealer) have polished titanium the same as the inlay Sebenza 21- everything but the lock bar and pocket clip are polished. For the micarta inlay versions, both standard and the exclusive colors, are bead blasted over the entire knife.

 

There are benefits to both but I really like the look of the inlays. Actually If I don't stop looking at this thread I'm gonna have to buy one.

I really like the inlays the best. The small is a light weight knife anyway so to me it is nice to have a little extra heft from the titanium scale, I also like the traction they provide and the width they add to the handle. Also they look cool.
