My collection consist of EDC knives with blades under 3 inches. I am mostly attracted to smaller gentleman's folder knives than fit great in the pocket. I usually will bring my CRKT Carbon Squid when I go camping for outdoor use but aside from that, the rest are mostly for urban carry. Benchmade's Axis-Lock has always been my favorite locking mechanism because I can use it with both hands (I'm left-handed)................until I received the CRK Inkosi yesterday. I think I'm in trouble.....lol.

It's my first new Chris Reeves Knife. It's a #13 of 15 BHQ Small Inkosi with Carbon Inlays. It is hands down the smoothest action knife I own. I can't believe the quality. No blade play, no adjusting, no flaws. It's just perfect out of the box. I like it so much I just submitted a request to order a left hand small Inkosi with Micarta Inlays from CRK when they become available.


I am considering selling one from my collection to make room for a new left-handed Inkosi. If you had to sell only ONE, which one would you sell?

1. Mini Doug Ritter M390 with Natural Titanium Wilkins Grip
2. Mini Doug Ritter M390 with Matt Grey Titanium Wilkins Grip
3. Benchmade M390 485 Valet Shinola Edition
























 
Nice looking new knife! I think you should let one of the Wilkins grips go since you have two. Welcome to the CRK club!!
 
I gotta ask...if your left handed why order a RH inkosi? Also why not flip all your BM clips to the other side for LH carry?

I agree, sell one of the mini grips.
 
I wondered why all the knives are set up for right hand as well...
 
I'm just used to using right handed knives. With the Benchmades, I can operate it in my left hand without the clip bothering me. Never owned a left handed version before so I'm excited for the new LH Inkosi.
 
Great looking Inkosi! I'm new to the CRK world as well but they are absolutely amazing. Wish I would have just bought one a long time ago instead of countless other lower quality blades. I agree with the overall sentiment here sell one of the Benchmades. As to which one that's tough. If that is the choice you make which do you value least?

That's a beautiful knife. I love their carbon fiber inlays.

I like the look of the Matte Grey better so I would sell the Natural Titanium BM. Congrats on the BHQ Inkosi. IMO that's one of the best looking small CR's ever produced.
 
If you ever get rid of that inkosi please let me know. I have #13 large

I'd sell the Valet, but that's just because I'm not a fan. Nice Inkosi, btw!

I cannot emphasize this enough. Please stop soliciting sales here. You will get infracted..If not by me, then by one of the several Super mods that like CRK knives.. There are a few as I see who visits pages in the history at the bottom.
Personally, I would rather give out verbal warnings than to resort to this, but the Super mods are another story.
The "want to buy" is in the exchange. Then there is private messages.

This goes out to everyone offering to buy here..Not just Cjwknives.

Please don't do this..This isn't meant to be harsh, it's my way of stating that I like youse guys. :)
 
The small Inkosi is a very good knife but I am not getting into it
The ergonomics are just
Not for
Me
I really prefer my delica and my mini grip to it
 
I've got my small blade hq cf inlay in my hand right now.

Super good looking inkosi you've got!
