Real. You're good to go on that one.

Thank you both very much.

A great knife. Enjoy it!

 

[HWF]

No worries! The small inkosi is a wonderful blade. Enjoy it!

You're good to go. I got my small Inkosi to try out thinking it would be a catch and release. Wrong! It's one of my go-to knives now...

btw - Welcome to Blade Forums!

Nice Inkosi!

i suppose that since the BD card says "Inkosi" without the Small or Large clarifier, this will be a collector's item 7 or 8 years from now???? (Along with my 25.)

To those more knowledgeable on this than I...The Inkosi has similar date stamps, as the Sebenza, inside the frame?

Yes, they do.

Example: D15 where Letter = calendar quarter (A, B, C, or D), Numbers = year. So D15 = Oct/Nov/Dec 2015

Externally looks good.
Are you able to handle it before purchase?
