The Inkosi Appreciation Thread

It's official. I like the inkosi more than the sebenza, not that I dislike the sebenza at all. I wish I could get the deeper hollow ground blade of a sebenza while keeping the stock thickness of the inkosi😍

It's a bit hard to describe to someone that hasn't handled one. It has a different , heft, action, feel... Its smoother then the most broken in 21 and feels even more robust then the zaan. The knife inspires confidence in use. Yes, you would be hard pressed to break a Sebenza without abusing it but once you use an Inkosi the Sebenza feels like a weekend knife not a work knife.
I understand that that is just subjective opinion, and I am of course not bad mouthing the Sebenza. However the Inkosi is the culmination of the evolution of the Sebenza. In my opinion it's Chris Reeve's finest folder design and while I love the 31, the Sebenza Line didn't need to go any farther then the 25.

thats true, come to think of it, i dont think ive ever seen one in person. the smooth design lines of the 21 has always been the pinnacle to me
