Ok guys.......I just reluctantly sold my Large Plain Inisingo, and Small Inkosi to downsize and try out the One knife lifestyle. I was dead set on testing the waters with the large Inkosi.
Some of you know that I had and LOVED my small Inkosi, and desperately wanted to try out the larger version.
Fast forward to Yesterday..............
I ordered one Brand new from KA and it showed up in my mail box arounf 12 noon yesterday.
I was instantly excited about the knife and it feels amazing in the hand. It was actually made 10 days from the day it arrived at my door step. Freshout of the oven!! 1-11-17.
I was woried about handle because they can only design the handle to fit so many sizes and shapes of hands. But this one feels as though it was made for xl-xxl hands and feels better than any other knife I have ever owned.
The action, just like my small, is smooth as silk. Smoothest CRK I have owned to date. Solid build like all crk's and immediately put it in my pocket.
I had a busy day yesterday. My sons had Ice Hockey, took them to a movie, and then went to dinner with some friends. Still at this point, I really have not looked over the knife with a fine tooth comb. But I also have not even cut anything with it at all.
Heres where I need some advice/opinions/help......... Last night I looked over the blade with a closer eye, and it has one of the worst blade grinds I have ever had on a knife. One side is perfectly ground, and its like they forgot to make another pass on the other to even it out.
So I slept on it, not sure what to do. I certainly cannot return it to KA after being in my pocket for 5-6 hours. Although it has not been used for a single thing, to me this thing is considered used because the pocket clip now has a noticable sign of being in my pocket.
So this morning, I went outside to get in some better lighting and look over the blade. I was able to take some pictures, while not the best quality, you can clearly see what I have here.
And I did not notice this until now, but you can actually see some heat discoloration on the tip of the blade in person and in the one photo.
Not sure what to do at this point. Im guessing that most of you will tell me to contact CRK and/or send it in to them.
Im just really really bummed and dont want to be without it for a month, and now thinking that I may have made a mistake getting rid of two perfect examples of CRK's for this.
Here are the photos. Please let me know what you think. As of right now, I am not carrying it. Its sitting in the box.
