- Small Inkosi with new S45VN steel
- Compact EDC Knife .
Inkosi
The classic from Chris Reeve is clearly the Sebenza - but with the Inkosi the manufacturer takes the next logical step. May these knives at first glance still look quite similar, so the Inkosi turns out on closer inspection as an independent and advanced knife, which needs to shy away from the comparison before the Sebenza 21 in no way.
.The most striking innovation can be found on the handle. Here are two pronounced finger recesses, which give your hand when working with the knife a safer grip and give you more control in the cutting movement. The lock is still the Chris Reeve invented Integral Lock, but in the Inkosi it has been improved by a crucial detail. To prevent the softer titanium from coming into direct contact with the hardened CMP S45VN steel of the blade, the detent ball (which is made of an extremely hard ceramic ) was placed in such a way that it also serves as the contact point of the lock technology. In this way, wear of the titanium can be ruled out.
Another innovation is the sharpening of the blade. Where Reeve so far almost always relied on a hollow grind, you will find the Inkosi now a mixture of hollow and flat grind to use, which the manufacturer "Large Hollow Grind" calls and which is intended to provide more stability of the edge. Together with the oversized blade axis and the giant bronze washers, the Inkosi turns out to be an incredibly sturdily constructed knife that you can also use for really tough cutting tasks at times.
Small
Small hands? Little space in your pocket? Not in the mood for a big titanium folder? Then the Small version of the Inkosi is the solution for you. Just like the Sebenza, the Inkosi is available in two different sizes and, again, the small version is a full-featured and highly functional pocket knife that doesn't have to hide from the large version in the slightest.
.Quite the opposite: especially in urban everyday life, many prefer a somewhat more compact knife for everyday cutting tasks. Only with very large hands (glove size 10 upwards), perhaps rather the large version of the Inkosis is recommended. In direct comparison with the Sebenza 31 Small, the Inkosi Small is about 1cm shorter.
