Chris Reeve Large Inkosi Insingo Crosshatch Glass Blasted Titanium Magnacut Folding Knife (3.52") LIN-1154-064

The Chris Reeve Large Inkosi Insingo in Crosshatch titanium grips back. A grid machined into both glass blasted handles bites into your palm, and the stonewashed Magnacut blade locks open with zero play.

• Stonewashed Magnacut Insingo Blade - Magnacut resists rust better than almost any knife steel and stays tough under hard use. At 63-64 HRC it holds an edge for a long stretch, and a diamond stone is recommended to make resharpening easier. The sheepsfoot-style Insingo gets a large-wheel hollow grind.
• Crosshatch Glass Blasted Titanium - A milled crosshatch pattern is cut into both 6Al4V titanium handle slabs. Your palm finds instant traction the moment the knife settles in your grip. The glass blasted finish gives the frame a soft, even satin look.
• Reeve Integral Lock - The titanium frame itself forms the lock bar, and a 97 RC ceramic ball sits where it meets the blade tang. That hard ball resists wear for consistent engagement over years of use. Opened, the blade sits dead still in the frame.

The Chris Reeve Inkosi

Inkosi means “Chief” in Zulu, and Chris Reeve Knives built this folder as its most technologically advanced model. It takes the Integral Lock the brand is known for and tightens everything around it, from blade strength to pivot and lock tolerances to overall ergonomics. The Large Inkosi is the full-size version of the platform, a stout titanium folder with finger recesses shaped into the handle. Every blade gets a hollow grind from an oversized wheel, which leaves more steel behind the edge than a typical hollow grind for strength close to a flat grind.
