Carboquartz Inkosi announced

I like the look of it! What is the feeling of carboquartz like? A light metal or carbon fiber or other?
 
I lucked out as well :).

roadracer46 is right....pictures do not do this knife any justice!

Very nice Dan- Despite telling you this elsewhere.
Someone above asked what the Carboquartz felt like..Good question

can you tell us that?
 
The look of it reminds me of the crystallization of iron in meteorites in zero gravity! Will it become a kind of material like Damascus with different random crystalization patterns to be had?!
 
It's a lot like a carbon fiber feel... with a shimmering pattern. Really does save quite a bit of weight. And the polished blade is just amazing to stare at as well.
 
Is the entire show scale carboquarts or just top layer?

Also how durable is it compared to the regular Ti or CF?

The feel was a little surprising as I was expecting something with a little more texture after seeing some pics on Instagram. But surprising in a good way. The flat surface is as smooth as a baby's butt. The edges do, however, have a bit of grip.

I'm just amazed at how beautiful this thing is in person!

The entire scale is Carboquartz.

I don't know about the durability of the material. Maybe someone with more scientific expertise can answer that question. I'm not too concerned, however, because it is covered under one of the best warranties in the business. I also don't really plan on putting it to super hard use ;)

The umnumzaan was $1500, would suspect the Inkosi to be about the same.

Did they make a Carboquartz version of the Umnumzaan?
I was in the mountains when all this was released with almost zero internet so I don't really know.
The polished Umnumzaans were around $600..but I missed out if they released a carboquartz version :(

I didn't see any carboQuartz Umnumzaans but If there are some, they'd be amazing as well. Would love to see that

I did get the polished Umnumzaan- but that was $600.
That's the only reason I was thinking there was a carboquartz version of the Umnumzaan was the figure nyefmaker nyefmaker put on it.
Probably a mistake, but I wanted to know for my own sanity!

Agreed 100%. I need to know if there are any out there as well. Thin Slice, nothing other than what you mentioned. The polished blade is a nice touch. Also, it's limited to 5 drop points and 5 tantos. The California Custom Knife show is coming up and I know CRK is there every year as well. If you're reading this guys, CarboQuartz Umnumzaan is a must ;)

When is that show?
CRK doesn't really read the forum unless there is an issue..but I see them frequently enough..Should be over there in the next week or so to pick up an OP Umnumzaan and goodies for one of the regs here.
 
The only reason i asked was because nyefmaker nyefmaker mentioned they were $1500 and i was wonderings what was in it that was that much. Figured the polished ones werent that pricey.

Can he chime in and clarify what zaan was $1500? Please the suspense is killing me as well

October 21st and 22nd. Excited to see to see what they bring
 
bhyde, it was mentioned the other day on a FB page that the carboquartz was $1500. I thought it was the Inkosi, but seen where somebody mentioned an umnumzaan and they only made 2. I still think it was the Inkosi though. I am looking for the conversation now. We all know limited CRK can go that high.
