Crazy to actually use an $800 knife?

I EDC my Inkosi and love it. I'm outside of Los Angeles and its very liberal here so the small blade doesn't scare people too much.

That alone is why I'll probably continue to use it most the time.

Its like these people want to call the police and put on a helmet if they see someone eating a steak.

Am I correct -Morse Code? If so what is the translation?
For all I have heard of them, I actually have never seen one.
 
I think the reason most of us buy sebenza's is because of that, it is a sebenza. Pretty but when it comes time to work, it will get the job done.

unfortunately, there is a "spelling error" on that knife.

It says, "Think tuice cut once".

I was a code copier in the navy for 9 years.

The edit:
Just followed the above posted link... reading about it now

2nd edit:
pretty cool about the "tuice" on the knife. Not a CRK guy so I never saw the story before.

Use them. They are tools. The beauty is in their function and utility. Take a picture of it and then abandon the investment mentality. Think twice, cut once. It will last longer than you.

THIS THIS THIS. It makes me nuts to see so many safe queen or shadow box knives. I personally think it's a total waste to NOT carry and use something you clearly value highly.
 
I'm with NOZYK, having recently lost a very hard to replace classic folder. Made me a little shy for a while about pocket-carrying expensive knives. But I'm back up on the horse...
 
My knives don't see much use, but I have a mammoth bark Damascus that I carry often in my back pocket and a box elder burl Damascus Mnandi I carry daily in a pouch. That is the joy of owning them. The only thing is when riding my motorcycle I check my back pocket about every three minutes!
 
Even a Masamune or Muramasa were used without exception by their owners, stacking & cutting human body's to test the blade prior to blessing it to the owner or in battle. Today their national treasures but usage 600 years ago didn't destroy these blades. My feelings are if you use a knife it becomes more valuable not less.
 
I say carry it on special occasions, in a pouch if you want it to stay pristine. I think there is no need to just let it sit and go unused!
