This Blade HQ Exclusive Large Inkosi folding knife offers a new design from Chris Reeve that builds on the inherent strengths of the Integral Lock. The Inkosi is a compact and comfortable everyday folder with Chris Reeve Knives' award-winning manufacturing excellence. Inkosi is the Zulu word for Chief and this knife certainly commands respect. This model features carbon fiber inlays and a stonewashed blade. Chris Reeve Knives is continually improving their knives and the Inkosi features a number of refinements: Thicker blade design that utilizes CRK's Large Hollow Grind technology. Oversized phosphor bronze washers with extra-large grease pockets reduce friction and blade play. Ceramic ball lock bar interface adds strength and stability to the locking mechanism Pocket clip rests on the spine rather than contacting the lock bar to avoid undue pressure on the lock. Larger, sturdier stop pin provides a lifetime of secure blade lockup. Standard double thumb lugs for ambidextrous opening.
