I'm definitely going to get an Inkosi because I think my L-21 is too big for EDC. I wear a lot of light clothing and it's just too big to put in gym shorts.

But I don't want a standard, plain jane Inkosi. Sorry, if I'm going to drop $400 plus on a blade, I want to go all the way. I want one that's blinged out, with eye-catching handle graphics and a swirly Damascus blade. How long do we have to wait until we can snag one that is appropriately jazzed-up?

I'm guessing Blade 2016. And I'll be there, in attendance. But I'm hoping it's sooner.

Anyone have the inside track on this?
 
I think it took a couple years til we saw a Micarta 25, another for a Damascus 25, and we still have no UG or wood inlayed 25s, so for your sake I hope the process is faster with the Inkosi. I'll probably grow old waiting for my wood inlayed Insingo version :).
 
I just want a silver lug version and CRK told me yesterday a custom order is 4-6 months out. Eh. She wouldn't spill any beans on new products and said I'd have to wait until BLADE.

She also said TrueNorthKnives doesn't have the exclusive on the silver Inkosi. However, Neil told me this month he expected some in. Who knows.
 
It seems like they are still trying to keep up with the orders of the plane Inkosi. I would think until they can get ahead on orders there will not be a need for other versions. I wonder if the large Inkosi will come out before a CF or inlayed version of the standard one.
 
Now that I am thinking about it with the angled clip not sure they would inlay the back side of an Inkosi. It may be that it only gets CCG/UG treatments....
