Chris Reeve Large Inkosi Knife S45VN Insingo w/Black Micarta Inlays, Sandblasted Handle

This Large Inkosi Knife, designed by Chris Reeve and manufactured by Chris Reeve Knives, features a 3.6" Crucible S45VN stainless steel Insingo blade, .1400" thick, with a Rockwell hardness of 59-60. The blade has a special large hollow grind for strength, a tumbled finish, a notched thumb rest for secure grip, and dual blue anodized titanium thumb studs for ambidextrous one hand opening. The sand blasted 6AL4V titanium handle, 4.8 inches closed, has attractive black canvas Micarta inlays, a sturdy pivot with large pivot screw and pin, oversized bronze phosphor washers to eliminate sideways blade play, and the innovative Reeve Ceramic Ball End Integral Lock that uses a ceramic ball as an interface for the lock bar to the blade tang for consistent solid lock up. (The ball also drops into a detent on the blade to ensure the blade does not open accidentally.) The handle has open frame construction, a lanyard post, and a removable pocket clip mounted at the butt end. The Large Inkosi has an overall open length of 8.4", and it weighs 4.96 ounces. Proudly made in the USA.
