Chris Reeve Inkosi - thoughts and where to buy?

I love my Inkosi! The 25 was my favorite handle shape and the Insingo was my favorite blade shape. I had been screaming for years to make a 25 with an Insingo blade. Well, they finally release the Inkosi Insingo. It checked all the boxes for me as a perfect CRK!

My 2 favorite CRKs are my large 21 Insingo and my small drop point Inkosi (both plain jane). The small Inkosi is my favorite 3" and under bladed, one-handed folder. I have medium-sized hands, and it feels like it locks in when I hold it. It feels better in my hand than my small 21 Insingo, even though the Inkosi it smaller. The Inkosi feels more ergonomic to me.

Thanks all again for the feedback, it’s been a huge help. I actually have a folder that’s pretty close in size to the Inkosi small and it fits well, both in pocket and hand.

Went ahead and ordered from KSF; I purchased a pocket slip a while ago from them, just needed confirmation they sold authentic CRK. Hopefully I get a good one!
 
Look forward to hearing your thoughts when it arrives mate. I love my inkosi. It is a home run.

You really can't compare different steels like that. The AEB-L at 62 may be equivalent to S35VN at 59-60.
Now, if you see S35VN at 61-62, now you're comparing apples to apples.
I've never had a CRK blade to chip at their current HT. I've flattened and rolled the edge but have yet to see a chip. I really don't have a clue at what HT it would start chipping out. It's just gonna depend on your daily chores whether the edge is going to hold up.

You can’t compare how the steels will perform at a given hardness but the Rockwell scale is the same hardness across the board.

So 60 rockwell in s35vn will be the same hardness as 60 rockwell in AEB-L
