Chris Reeve Large Inkosi - Overview and Review

[@kashman2426]

I have been through my knife stages. From 50 bucks to now 1200 buck knives. The Chris Reeves Large Inkosi is now my favorite knife of all time. So much so that as of now it is hard to justify adding anything else to my collection.

[@clo2715]

I never thought I would spend this much on a knife but I'm glad I did and got to experience the craftsmanship that goes into a high end knife.

[@joshuabriggs7114]

I have a brown micarta large Inkosi which is probably my most carried large folder. It would be my end of the world only one folder knife for sure. So strong, so capable, just awesome!

[@fischeswa-9]

I have the exact same one, totally agree my one knife and have several hundred knives (which my wife hates). Cheers!

[@tonymaciel7687]

Love my Large Inkosi! Favorite knife of all time. I got a tanto version in magnacut. My next knife will be a Large Inkosi with a drop point blade. 🤙🏼

[@Buzzby4020]

I want one. Expensive is very relative. My BIL has an $80,000 car that costs him $3,500/yr to keep on the road. Next to that, a $550 knife that is the ultimate in its world and will never cost another nickel is a cheap mid-life crisis obsession. See how easy it is to rationalize?

[@pkbaker100]

What kind of car? lol

[@drinkwater1776]

I like how the captions say its large and cozy. Just ordered a plain ti one of these. Looks nice

[@DavidM-lj5yv]

The first higher end folder I ever bought was a large Sebenza 25. Still have it and love it. I've been eyeing a large Inkosi online for the past week-- I think you just convinced me to pull the trigger. This knife addiction is expensive !!

[@matthewhill3996]

Nice review! I just ordered this (left handed) direct from Chris reeve. Looking forward to getting it...even if it’s not for 6-12 months 😋

[@renechavez870]

I love your reviews.. trust me try the Sebenza and you might change your mind. I personally love the fact you can crank down the pivot and the action will be “Sebenza Smooth”. It’s really real- “nothing is as smooth as a Sebenza” I love my large 21 Sebenza with silver lug from True North Knives... try a sebenza and I promise you will think twice! I’m watching this video because I’m wanting a large Inkosi, I owned a 25 and it wasn’t what I expected so I’m hoping the Inkosi is! I love your videos keep up the great work!

[@Damen0530]

Rene Chavez just curious what didn’t you like about the 25 model?

[@TZOID08]

I'm an owner of some Hinderer knives and I know a CRK is in my future. I do find it funny when people refer to these as "Hard Use " knives and I'm positive they are but I bet they get next to zero hard use at over $ 400 bucks.

[@iansharpe8420]

TZOID08 I won’t “hard use” mine at all

[@PenjaminFranklinn]

Ill be buying an inkosi, ill definitely put it to work (I work construction), and ill use my para 3 for times like fishing/ outdoors stuff etc.

[@jessefleming1421]

I got one, will be using the breaks off of mine. To each their own.

[@willywinket]

Bloody hell mate I just bought the lefty version of this thanks to you and Nick Shabazz. And yes I was at that breathtaking stepping off point of getting a holy trinity knife. Thanks!

[@Hazmat0357]

I don’t look at other knives anymore. 3 CRKs now and counting. Inkosi is my favorite for sure. However there’s something about the Sebenza that I can’t shake which is why I have both

[@Lemonhoko]

Intro was nice and clean, not too long...really liked it

[@RickyHuse]

That intro is AWESOME!

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

I just ordered an Umnamzaan from CRK Direct and it looks to be sometime in June when it should be ready.......Tanto Blade on that one.

[@bladecentered2264]

Really want a large inkosi beautiful knife. Yeah the big three isn't really three anymore, strider really needs to be taken off, they don't really produce that many knife anymore.

[@Eeklectic]

This is a blast from the past!

[@Mcfly0856]

CRK has spoiled me to the point where I really don't want any other brand, I know there's so many new options out there and custom's with just as much precision but these knives just check all the boxes for me.

[@brentlakin]

I was on the fence.... Thanks for the push!

[@alastairwhigham9283]

I have the exact same but with the insingo blade which i find a little mire useful in terms of utility use

[@MegaFrank1960]

Couldn’t decide so I got both, the large Sebenza and large Inkosi. The “Zan” is next on the hit list. I definitely think the Demko AD20 should be added , then renaming the group the “holy quad”…..lol

[@jedimasterg5308]

AWESOME INTRO! AWESOME VIDEO! AWESOME KNIFE!

[@phantastic_carriers]

Hey MC, I really enjoy your videos and this video swayed me to buy one today.

[@brdllc]

Great review! I’m looking to enter the high end knife world with one knife that’s overall perfect as can be and last me forever, and stay in check easily. I’m stuck between a large 21 and 31, and now the inkosi. Leaning more toward the insingo but drop point looks so good too 😭

[@dmartinez1993]

You pushed me over the edge lol, it’ll be my next knife. I recently went with the Socom Elite (manual version) as my duty knife, maybe this will be my grail knife for off duty that I won’t worry about using.

[@jessefleming1421]

I’m watching this years later - inlay vs no inlay was dilemma. No inlay on the way! I think I made a little jingle up there…

[@kevink.2719]

Nice intro 👍 great knife

[@tankcrowe5417]

Always go to your old videos when I've narrowed down my next purchase to two. Large inkosi or umnumzon which did you like most?

[@tomwebster6747]

Have both. Keeping both. If I had to choose, I would say the Inkosi is slightly better overall.

[@sigberetta72]

I’m also thinking one of those two. Seems the Sabenza gets most attention, but I’m always different!

[@michaelmoravec8206]

Im in that weird world with you buddy:) I have this exact knife paid for , just waiting for it to be shipped from knife center:) Mine has a tanto blade though....Looks highly dope ...

[@doofy28]

I ordered the large Subenza directly from Chris Reeves. 6-9 months wait time!

[@edcko10]

Have you gotten it yet?

[@jessefleming1421]

I think he means years hahah

[@ArkansasPublicHunts]

Your intro is sick btw

[@tonywestin9018]

Good intro.

[@dcuttingedge5422]

Great review. Good to hear Metal Complex so enthusiastic about a Chris Reeve to accompany his XM-18's. I wonder if he still has this high of an opinion in 2021??

[@I_Might_B_Wrong]

About time!

[@brose04008]

The intro was pretty tight.

[@Dillaaz8]

Would you choose the large inkosi over the umnumzaan?

[@Jasonfisherman81]

yessss definitely because the inkosi is smooth easier to open, I just bought another inkosi have 1 with insert and one plain both large...I would even get a sebenza over umnumzaan because so hard to open, this was my opinion goodluck.

[@johnwest4492]

I love it it's Amazing, I find just one thing wrong with it, I cant afford it Lol.

[@jaypowell0185]

I haven't tried the inkosi but I love my small 21 insingo blade

[@813johnnfla]

I just came to say the days of people only spending 40$ on a knife are long long gone… that’s a shot a Johnny blue lol

[@markisbear]

My holly grail knife a chris revees and nice intro keep it up

[@johnwest6414]

Hey MC, where does Ernie Emerson fit into the trinity? Or does he at all? Thanks

[@coblan86]

Of Chris Reeve, Rick Hinderer and Mick Strider I would say that Ernie Emerson isnt quite in the same league. Emerson's are pretty okay knives.. I've heard a lot of people complain about the fit and finish on Emerson knives. For the price of one you would think that they would spend a little bit more attention to detail. The holy Trinity on the other hand, flawless works of art and function. I'm not a professional by any means so just take my opinion with a grain of salt. This is just my two cents lol

[@DVD323]

Ooh vintage mc

[@misterbaker9728]

Cool review as always but this is way out of my price range... I would love one but right now not gonna happen

[@geraldocesar2009]

Inkose large or BENCHMADE 781?

[@metal_complex]

Inkosi

[@raulbanegas1982]

Why everybody treat those piece of shit knives like it is made of glass, so expensive and you can not Open those shit normaly ?

[@metal_complex]

What?

[@brandonc223]

Be more original with your reviews. I like them, but dont be sumthinfancy.

[@metal_complex]

Na, I'm good.

[@MegaFrank1960]

Couldn’t decide so I got both, the large Sebenza and large Inkosi. The “Zan” is next on the hit list. I definitely think the Demko AD20 should be added , then renaming the group the “holy quad”…..lol
