Posts are going to be a bit repetitive for a while with this new Inkosi, so apologies for that.
Thanks. It will be hard to not carry it, so I’ll probably just have to pair it up with others from time to time.Congrats on the new acquisition !
No apologies needed keep the pics of that beauty rolling![]()
That’s exactly what I do with my favs just to mix it upThanks. It will be hard to not carry it, so I’ll probably just have to pair it up with others from time to time.
Beautiful Knives!
Yes, a comparison shot would be very helpful. I've been very tempted by Le Pocket but concerned that the size might be a little small for my med/large hands. I don't want to be gripping onto the lock release portion that the blade closes into...
I started the day giving the newly acquired Viper Turn its due turn in the rotation:

As it turned out, I arrived home just in time to meet my friendly FedEx delivery guy on his way up my driveway. It seems I’ve grown quite fond of these Le Thiers, so I thought I’d try out a “Gentleman” model to see how it compares to my “Pocket” version.
I opted for the stabilized burled beech end-grain handle for this one. My hasty pics don’t do it justice, but the wood is absolutely beautiful and has a lot of character. Very pleased with the decision:

For anyone familiar or interested in these knives, the additional 2cm the “Gentleman” boasts over the “Pocket” version (12cm vs 10cm) makes a world of difference. This is a big-ass knife, although I realize size is relative and very subjective. If anyone’s interested, I’ll post a comparison shot when I have a bit more time.
Anyway, apologies for the long-winded post. The bottom line is I’m making a late afternoon swap to the new arrival, hopefully with some better pics down the road.
