The **Chris Reeve Inkosi Large** is a high-end pocket knife, designed by knifemaker Chris Reeve. Inkosi means *Chief* in Zulu. The Inkosi is the newer incarnation of the famous Sebenza 25 model, but still has its own features. It features the same oversized pivot as well as the extra finger cut-out in the handle. Like with the Sebenza 25, the stand-off and the lanyard pin function as one at the back of the handle. The thumb stud on both sides of the blade is also a common feature. The blade is 8% thicker than that of the Sebenza 25 and has a *large hollow grind*. This means the blade will last even longer after sharpening, without sacrificing strength. As we commonly see in high-end pocket knives, Chris Reeve has enhanced the Inkosi with a ceramic detent ball.


The real differences, however, can be found in the gigantic oversized washers. They only just fit inside the handle, that's how big they are. This, combined with the thick pivot, ensures that the blade moves smoothly. The washer on the lockside has an angular cut-out to make sure the lockbar can pass it. There is a protrusion on the washers towards the stop pin so that they cannot rotate. This stop pin is even stronger than the one on the Sebenza 25. The pocket clip is also turned a couple of degrees so that it falls on the frame and not on the lockbar. The jimping has been milled in a beautiful alternating pattern. Like all Chris Reeve knives, the Chris Reeve Inkosi is razor-sharp upon delivery.


The Chris Reeve Inkosi comes with a set of Allen keys, fluorinated grease and loctite 222MS.



The Chris Reeve Inkosi is simply one of the best pocket knives in the world. Dozens of years of technical development and pioneering work has led to this masterpiece.

Mooi mes en zeer goed afgewerkt. Ook na 2 weken regelmatig gebruik is het bij tijd en wijle lastig het mes soepel te openen met de duim-stud. Ik had verwacht dat dit soepeler zou gaan, zeker nadat het muis uit elkaar gehaald is, schoongemaakt en in elkaar gezet is.
Ik heb er wel vertrouwen in, dat met de tijd het allemaal wat gemakkelijker zal gaan. 
De nieuwe afwerking voelt overigens super goed aan.

Thé holy grail under all knives voor de echte verzamelaar een must to have!

Na veel recensies over de vermeende 'lock-rock' van de Sebenza 31 besloten 'voor de zekerheid' voor een Inkosi te gaan. Dit is in ieder geval niet het geval bij deze Inkosi. Lock voelt extreem solide, geeft veel vertrouwen. Nergens speling en perfect gecentreerd. Het is geen mes dat zich makkelijk laat open 'flippen', maar zo is hij ook niet ontwikkelt. Dat gezegd hebbende blijkt het prima mogelijk als je nano oil als smeermiddel gebruikt ipv. het middel dat Chris Reeve zelf mee levert. Tot slot, het mes is redelijk scherp, maar voor de puristen zal het wat werk nodig hebben. Voor alledaags gebruik echter meer dan voldoende.

Dit is mijn tweede CRK. Dit is echt een geweldig mes die voor mij alles heeft. 
Hij is mooi, degelijk en vlijmscherp. 

De algehele beleven van de unboxing is uitstekend. Ze worden geleverd in een mooie witte doos. In de doos zit een onderhoudsset en zelfs een geboortekaartje. 

Al met al één van de fijnste EDC messen voor mij.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
