Do I recall correctly that you've bought and sold a few Umnumzaans? I like what you said about keeping that one. For me it's not about hoarding an expensive collection for Instagram. I just want the right tools for the journey of life. If I can have a few high quality items, I consider myself blessed.Ive never had a rotation before, I’ll admit to enjoying it! I wont go much further but adding a large 21 is not out of the question.
And of course the Mighty Mnandi is always with me.

Good memory. Yes Ive bought and sold 6 Zaan before this one. 3 of them Wilson’s. I really have an issue with this knife. It’s not my favorite but it’s so much fun to own and use! I really prefer the Inkosi and I really think its the better knife but one cannot argue that the Zaan is just so sexy.Do I recall correctly that you've bought and sold a fee Umnumzaans?

The drop point also has utility of its own. I've never owned a Zaan but from what I understand it's thinner behind the edge than the inkosi. Those two make a fine pair! Having the mnandi along gives a non threatening option when you are around people who are afraid of the universe.Good memory. Yes Ive bought and sold 6 Zaan before this one. 3 of them Wilson’s.

I think I have always let them go because I have alway been a one knife kinda guy and the Zaan always left me wanting more, Ive decided to expand my carry and now have the Inkosi and Zaan and they make a great team. Inkosi Insingo is pure utility and the Umnumzaan adds a bit of excitement.
The Zaan does slice nice!The drop point also has utility of its own. I've never owned a Zaan but from what I understand it's thinner behind the edge than the inkosi. Those two make a fine pair!
