Inkosi challenge

It’s the only 25 I’ve experienced but that one is the smoothest CRKs out there. Now why can’t they make the 31 this smooth? 🤣

Because Chris retired before the 31 was developed. I don't believe the ceramic ball/ tang lock interface is compatible with the pivot bushing if you want true Sebenza smoothness.
Im not calling the 31 a bad knife in anyway. It’s just not a Chris Reeve Sebenza. The original Sebenza died/evolved at the 21 when he followed his design to the next level and created the 25 and than finished it with the Inkosi.

The 31 is the company trying to stay relevant with new models/features, showing they are fine after Chris, but it will always be the Sebenza PC ( post Chris) to me. Ive own/owned several and will own more, its a great knife in its own right and you all know I am a CRK fan thru and thru but this is my honest opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it.

I think you nailed it there. I do enjoy the 31 but it’s more of a cousin than an older brother, to me anyway.
