Inkosi vs. the 25

[Lyall29]

I'm guessing I have a rare 25, I have had absolutely no lock stick on it. It is probably one of the smoothest opening and closing knives I own. I have a small 21 that gets a very tiny amount of lock stick, nothing major at all.

My 25 is the same, smooth as silk.

This is an old thread but I figured I'd add to it my 25 & Inkosi experience. Ive got two 25s and they are extremely smooth opening and closing with no lock stick. I recently acquired a small Inkosi with the tang groove and experience no lock stick or lock up issues with it. The Inkosi is the least smooth CRK I own while opening and closing but I bought it used and really need to take it down for a cleaning and lube.

I have 8 or 9 Sebenza 25's and recently picked up two large Inkosi's with micarta inlays. I've been carrying the natural micarta Inkosi for about a month now. For me, there's not a lot of difference between the two. The clip on the 25 has not bothered me at all, so the angled clip on the Inkosi has no real effect on my daily use.
The biggest difference between the two for me is that because the clip on the Inkosi doesn't ride on the lock bar, it has less tension on it,making it easier to open and it doesn't have that distinct "thunk" that the 25 has. Haven't taken the Inkosi down yet, so I really don't how much easier it will be to completely tear down and put back.
