Haha. Yes I do. I don't really have a preference one way or the other. I seem to carry what feels good at any given time. Today I opted to carry my large insingo instead of the Inkosi. Only because it was calling my name from the safe. We will see how it goes. I have gotten so used to the Inkosi, and love it.
 
Now that you have gotten the large back in your hands for a little bit, how do they compare now?
 
Good stuff. Had mine for four days and it hasn't left my side since.

Well........I currently have the Inkosi in my Pocket if that tells you anything. I cant explain it!! its just a GREAT Big Little knife. It excels so well at so much. And to top if off...It still feels great in the hand. I absolutely am not nice to this thing and it keeps coming back for more. I use it for literally everything.

Great knife!!
 
Thanks for the great review and most of all, the great pictures. I have a large hand, but it looks like a great fit for a small knife. I bought and sold my Sebenza 25 because the thing was gigantic and looked like a sword when I pulled it out in public. To be honest with you, I took it apart and couldn't get it to go back together again and bent the washers in the process. Had to send it back to CRK for repair and reassembly. I just ordered the Inkosi because the size and beefiness looks right. I wish someone would do a complete disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly video and post it on YouTube for people like me. My experience with the 25 pushed me away from CRK and straight to Hinderer. But I'm willing to give the Inkosi a go!
 
I couldn't agree more with Gizler00 the Inkosi is the best knife be it production, custom or mid-tech that I have ever used. It literally has kicked EVERYTHING out of my pocket, including all other CRKs. To me it is the pinnacle of greatness and king off all CRKs. I went from having owned well over 575 knives to just owning an Inkosi and a Cold Steel Recon 1 (The Recon is only for when I need a longer blade or feeling like doing REALLY stupid stuff to a knife).

Thanks !!! I really love this knife. I also have a Large Insingo in my Collection, and sometimes I pull it out to use for a few days, but I can never make it more and just a few before I go back to the Inkosi. I think you will find that the Dis-assembly/reassembly of this knife is fairly easy and straight forward. I will say, I feel the 21 is the easiest at this, but the Inkosi is next in Line.
You will have to post up some pictures when yours comes in.

I hear you. Like I said Above ^^ It really it just a Great knife for everything. I have a very very hard time not carrying it.
 
Nice review and follow-ups. How is it for left handed (weak hand) opening? One thing I love about my 25 is the ability to open it easily with my right or left hand.
 
I have the left hand version. At first I planned on babying my Inkosi to keep it in pristine condition. It is now in my pocket probably 80% of the time with my 25 at 20% pocket time. I use it for most everything that needs cutting. The latest being used to cut out old caulking around the toilet base. Blade is a bit scratched but what a knife.
The seven month wait was well worth it.

Thanks. It's pretty easy to open with my non dominant left hand.

Definitely agree with this! I beat the heck out of mine daily.
 
Just gave it a bath today. Gets dirty quick working in the shop everyday.







 
You know......this little big knife keeps ending up in my pocket. Seriously.

My current CRK collection consists of a Umnumzaan, Large 21 Insingo, Small 21 Insingo w/Micarta, Large 21 with Raindrop Damascus, Small 21 plain, Small 21 with CF inlays and Damascus blade, and a Sebenza 25.

I keep saying I'm going to carry one of the others and I do try but the Inkosi ends up back in place. I carry one of the others for part of the day and find myself wishing I had my Inkosi with me. It's "enough" 99% of the time.

I think they hit a home run with this one.

I could not agree more. I have a large 21 insingo and I LOVE that knife. But I cannot seem to get this Inkosi out of my pocket. It truly does everything I need it to. Love it
