Hard use Inkosi

[gull wing]

I've had my Small Inkosi for several weeks now and was more or less pampering it. You know, don't let it get too dirty, don't cut things that are next to metal too avoid chips, no scraping, no snail trails.

Well, that ended this week. There is a saying that goes - The knife you use in an emergency is the one you have with you. or something like that I tackled an underground water line to my garden (veg), with several breaks in it. I used the Inkosi to scrape the PVC pipe, ream out the "sawdust" from the cut area to make a good glue bond and other nasty jobs.

There, now it's passed muster. It is now a CHIEF.
I must take it down now to clean it up, then sharpen. Yes, it picked up some small chips on the cutting edge.

this is before:

Is this before using or after using before cleaning? Other than some lint in the belly button (aka Pivot), seems unused to me.

I have an unused Large Inkosi and the Before Using/After Using/After Cleaning pictures may finally get me to use it.

Oh oh, it's already cleaned.

Picture was before I roughed it up.

Very nice. That is what these knives are built for!

its just a knife... just use the darn thing and abuse it a little... who cares if it gets a little beat up

Good on ya. Sebbies are users. Every scratch or nick just makes it more mine.

My small Inkosi rides in my pocket every day to work as a Plumbing and Heating Contractor.
It's a workhorse and I love it. Use yours in good health.
