What kind of folder do you carry?

That's the one I'm referring to above and my only Military with carbon fiber and frame lock. I think it's the Knifeworks exclusive. Great knife.


(And I'm guessing here, but you're probably not older than I am. That said, I don't save my old stools.)

This is the large BG-42 Sebenza my wife bought me for my birthday in 1998:

That's awesome! Back in my early days I flipped a lot, there were a few pieces that passed my way and I really wish I had held onto them, young dumb.. you get it :D

BG42 was and still is an excellent steel, shame it doesn't get more favor these days.

Here's my only SA OTF and it's a beast, kicks like a mule, locks rock solid with no wiggle. The zombie green was a little garish for me, so I gave it some distressing and an acid wash. Most impractical knife that I carry a lot.
 
Snappy Sunday...grabbed the Hawk Knives designed "ZT0650ST" with their CrossFire lock, one of the few automatics produced by Zero Tolerance😎

I’ve got a small inkosi right now and I am pretty sure it’s just too small for me. My fat fingers don’t agree with opening it. But yes I’m on the lookout for a full size Inkosi or Zaan. Don’t care for a tanto blade in either though.

One of these two is what I’m thinking, or both I don’t know:)

The Zaan is built a little beefier than the 21/31, but I agree with Mendomen that of the different models available the Inkosi might be the one you want to look at.

The small Inkosi is a bit too small for me although a small micarta 21 is doable. But a large Inkosi feels good in my hand.
 
Recent post I saw has me wondering. Do any CPK’ers have a Spartan Harsey folder and CRK lrg 31, Zaan, or Inkosi?

Quality of each compared to each other, toughness?

ETA: let me explain. My large 31 fells like a solidly made knife and it’s the right size. Not too thick, just the right “thickness”.
