Details

The Chris Reeve Inkosi (Zulu for “chief”) lives up to that name with several advancements from development during the last 30 years of Chris Reeve production. CRK's Large Hollow Grind technology enhances strength while retaining sharpening longevity and cutting performance, while a stouter pivot, stop pin and oversized phosphor bronze washers deliver zero play and flawless operation. Additional upgrades include a ceramic ball lock face and offset pocket clip. This version comes with blue dual thumb lugs standard.

Brand new, direct from Chris Reeve Knives.

Blade: The drop point blade comes equipped with a large hollow grind for exceptional slicing performance and extended blade life, with a heavy stonewashed finish to hide wear from use. Jimping on the thumb ramp offers traction up to the stylish crowned and polished spine. Dual titanium thumb lugs allows for ambidextrous operation on oversize bronze washers with grease-filled pockets for a smooth, hydraulic operation.

Handle: The dual slabs of 6AL4V titanium have a tactile sandblasted finish that will develop a unique patina with wear over time and milled finger grooves for a secure grip. The Reeve Integral Lock utilizes the titanium frame to deliver “bank vault” lockup with a Ceramic Ball Interface for increased reliability, longevity and smooth operation. Titanium hardware includes a blue anodized spacer and lanyard pin with installed black nylon lanyard. Includes a tube of fluorinated grease, microfiber cloth and information packet.

Carries via a right-hand titanium pocket clip.

CPM S45VN: An evolution in the S30-series of steels from Crucible, S45VN shows improved edge retention and corrosion resistance relative to S35VN a slight reduction in toughness. Also considered an upgrade to Elmax with similar edge retention but better hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, and a finer carbide structure (better sharpness).
