New to CRK, so still trying to figure some stuff out.
Leather Sheath questions:
So, I got my wife a small Sebenza and it included a leather slip for the knife.

I got a small Inkosi and it did not. I got a PDW Large Sebenza and it did not.

What knives include the little slip sheath? I realize the PDW knife is a special build, so may not apply.

Handle Texture questions:
What is the default handle texture? My wife's small with graphics is smooth, my small Inkosi is kind of bead blasted/stonewashed, and my PDW Sebenza is rough.

Is the Inkosi I have the standard non-graphic handle texture?

Does the Wilson Combat Sebenza have a rough texture? What about the Umnumzaan?

Sebenza 25/Inkosi:
Do all Sebenza 25's have double lugs? And this design was kind of abandoned to go back to the 21 design, and was then reassigned/repurposed as the Inkosi? And all Inkosis are double lug?

Thanks BladeForums.
 
Leather slips provided for wood inlays and UG and CGG graphics I believe..maybe full CF show side scale from Knifeart.
Blasted scales do not get them.

Texture- You may be able to discern this from the comment above, but polished titanium will be different.
PDW is sandblasted..and the small Inkosi is sand blasted. What you may be experiencing with a difference would be or could be the difference in the media used to blast. One may have newer media than the other so the texture is coarser.

Not all 25's have double lugs- I have a single lug 25 blade on my Inkosi.
The 25 was the predecessor to the Inkosi. The Inkosi/25 is different than the 21 design in a few ways. Ceramic ball on the end of the lockbar for blade tang engagement. Adjustable pivot..The clip is angled on the Inkosi..No lanyard pin or lanyard pin hole on the Inkosi or 25.
No tooling hole on the Inkosi or 25...and no pivot bushing either.

hope that helps

Ok, the sheath thing makes total sense now.

And thanks on the texture thing too.

Gonna need to ask a few more things on the 25/Inkosi front.

So the Sebenza became the Sebenza 25 for a bit right? Then this overall design became rebranded as the Inkosi? And the Sebenza went back to the previous design? I have a small Inkosi that definitely has a lanyard - and the WC Starbenza 25 I have coming has a lanyard? And by tooling hole you mean the hole down the body, through both sides, at the base of the lockbar on the lock side?

The 25 was always a separate knife than the 21- Production on the 21 has remained largely the same since inception.
The lanyard on the Inkosi doesn't have a specific hole, it's tied around the backspacer.
And yes, the tooling hole is part of the lockbar design and is just a hole in the showside scale. Locating hole for the fixture for secondary operations.

Thanks again.

Starting to all make sense now. I had not paid attention to where the fob was attached on the Inkosi.
