I see the knife art guys have a large Inkosi listed... surprised it's not gone already.
 
It's even more surprising considering someone flipped 2 of them in the Exchange a couple days ago listed at $600 each and sold them quickly.
 
I will have mine tomorrow (not from KnifeArt) but that is crazy one is still available.
 
I just spent all my knife money on a different knife. Doh! :(

They still have some in stock at this time. I can only think most people don't know they have any.
 
I looked at it after seeing your post, about two minutes after you left it. Thanks. I can wait for a slightly used one for less $$$.
 
Just pulled the trigger, wanted a first batch Large! Now I have a companion to the super rare , highly sought after, fantasticaly adorned, limited Blade Shoe Edition Small 1 OF 25 !!
 
This is regular production, why should this be out of stock?
The transition was well planed and executed - so why are you surprised?
no offense here.

Umm, a thing called supply & demand. I can't recall ever seeing the distribution pipeline filled before or at introduction of new models at Blade.
 
I got one from a authorized dealer. It came in the original small box. No tools, though the cards said tools would be provided. (The dealer is calling CRK to check on this as all 10 of the ones they received from Blade did not come with tools). Came with the new darker cloth. Birthdate was 06/01/2016.... Needless to say after less than an hour of handling it, I returned it. The angled clip works so well on my beloved small Inkosi and actually creates a huge hotspot in my hand on the Large Inkosi. Like a ridiculous hotspot. I never had a problem with the 25 clip placement. So looks like I will be sticking to my Large 21, Umnumzaan and the best model ever (IMO) the SMALL Inkosi
 
While I understand supply and demand, this has been planned thoroughly in advance.
It looks like the company is faster than the market.
So my guess is, the production started well before the announcement, as this is not a completely new knife.
I my be wrong, but beside the "pull-strategy" there is a "push-strategy".
Please take this with a grain of salt, as I have no evidence.
