2020(ish) Inkosi Lockup

[JustinMFrost]

Hey guys,

Relative noob here, and I KNOW this conversation has been beaten to death, but.... How far is too far? Lockup on my Large Inkosi has been inching its way over since I picked it up roughly a couple of years ago, and am wondering if this is a point of concern yet.

Hi Justin.

Didnt we discuss this via IG recently? huehuehuehue

Perfectly acceptable, both of my Inkosi's wear marks are in the same spot as your blade tang, right in the 60-65% area.

Just a hair farther over than my two but nothing to worry about. If it moves all the way over I'm sure CRK will take care of it.

Put it in your pocket and cut stuff with it, don't worry

That looks like about 50% lock up according to the mark on the blade. Don’t be concerned about the distance between the lock bar and presentation side.

Looks good to me.

It looks good, dude. Remember, the blade tang is a ramp where it meets the lock face. Sisyphus will finish rolling the boulder up the hill before that thing wears out.

HAH, well played, and appreciate the feedback.

Got it! Just seems like it's a million miles over when compared to most other things I own, and feels odd in-hand on account of it. Will ignore, thanks!

Snarky snark? Yeah yeah I know I know mister "I buy all the versions of all the CRK and almost nothing else"

Certainly have been doing that, in rotation with others.

Fair enough — just feels weird compared to my other knives, but appreciate all the reassurance here
