The Inkosi, or “Chief” is an Integral locking knife with amazing features. It’s large pivot provides extra strength, and a two-finger foregrip gives exceptional control on the handle.  Twin oversized Phosphor-bronze washers ensure that there will never be blade play issues. The blade material is Crucible CPM S35VN steel, with a hardness of 59-60 HRC, complimented by a sandblasted 6AI4V Titanium frame, pocket clip and anodized blue thumbstud and lanyard pin.

The Inkosi is a family of folding knives that will claim the position of Chief alongside the iconic Sebenza. This design continues to push the characteristics of the Integral Lock, blade strength, pivot and lock tolerances as well as overall ergonomics. This model features the Insingo blade, meaning “razor” in Zulu, and is a Chris Reeve adaptation of the traditional Wharncliffe blade, a utility blade with excellent slicing capabilities

A carefully developed hollow grind, strengthened pivot, and sturdy lockup were the starting points for this family of Inkosi folding knives. While challenging the standards of the Integral Lock, the Inkosi is the most overbuilt knife of its kind, a true testament of strength. Using a ceramic ball as an interface for the lock bar to the blade tang, it ensures a lifetime of consistent lock up.

This is the first time Chris Reeve has been able to use twin, over-sized washers with an Integral lock. The washer diameter is wider than the blade securing zero sideways play. With larger lubrication holes there is even less surface area of friction. With the Large Hollow Grind technology, they use a shallow radius to add more strength to the blade, making it halfway between a flat grind and a standard hollow grind.

Features :

At 97HRC, the strength of the ceramic ball end lock provides a lifetime of consistent lock up
Mounted Pocket Clip rests on the back face, eliminating the possibility of pressure on the lock bar and provides a more ergonomic grip
Large Hollow Grind, a more shallow radiused grind, provides a combination of strength from a flat grind with proven sharpening longevity from a hollow grind
Twin over-sized Phosphor-bronze washers
Slip Through Stop Pin
Large Pivot
