Is it true? if so and what is the reason? IMO Sebenza25 is one of the best design of CRK ever. I much prefer it over 21... Can't even think out a reason why its need to be quit..
 
Talking to Tim at Blade, they're discontinuing it to further quite confusion in their line. It's being upgraded pretty much and being called a Large Inkosi. The inkosi was a small 25 to some people and CRK made a large version and it's suppose to have some things the 25 should've had.
 
My opinion, the 25 was a complete fail. CRK added a few good features and renamed the knife. If I owned a 25, I would be mad also. The Inkosi is a better design. 😄

I disagree, and I will be keeping mine. Sure, the Inkosi has some tweaks, but there was only one thing that requires attention with the 25 - alignment of the stop pin during reassembly. Loctite easily solves this, and was part of the original design. I will not be getting the large Inkosi (I have the small, no issues with it). The large Inkosi needs to have the exposed pockets in the washers filled in. They will easily collect dirt, which will then be between the washers and the blade. Maybe CRK will tweak the design a little more and address this issue. I would rather have an easily solvable issue (by design) than one that will always be an issue that I cannot solve on my own.

Nope. I love my 25 Micarta, and won't replace it with the "better" Large Inkosi. And I'm not knocking what they've done. Just pointing out that the 25 is a good solid knife as is. What's this all prove? That not everybody likes the same thing. Terms like "complete fail", and "better" are pretty hard to state objectively.
