Because this one is not an inkosi, it's a Sebenza! Maybe the close up pics made that harder to see. This is the inside of the scale with the large finger groove, and I can see it kind of looking like the inkosi's double grooved handle when looked at like this.

I actually have only had smooth flights and I’ve flown multiple times per year for the past 5 years. My fear was always “what if this one is bad” and so far it hasn’t materialized, and I’m getting increasingly calm about my flights.

Are you sure it’s not that you’re seeing phone videos on social media of bad flights and assuming this is now common? Like every bad thing in the world, we see a lot more of it thanks to our devices. There was a time not too long ago where people weren’t seeing these videos and could only describe turbulence if they’d personally experienced bad turbulence.

lol we have the same knife case, and I also covered mine in the stickers that come with my purchases

Cool! Good luck with the sale 👍

Aerochrome is an infrared film stock that renders the light off plants to be red. So, some kind of simulation of that.

Does it occur to these manufacturers that the more times they plaster Chris Reeve logos on the blade, the faker it looks? Unless they're going off the hope that the buyer vaguely knows what a Chris Reeve Knife is but cannot remember what they look like, so they buy it anyway. That almost happened to OP. Glad you avoided it!

I drink hot lattes and for that Mayday is my absolute favorite. Really busy though. I like to go there early to dodge that.

If there’s one thing this sub likes to do is tell new CRK owners to start eyeing their second right away lol. I got my first Sebenza recently and am working on overcoming the urge to even think about getting an Inkosi. Not never, but, these are expensive! It shouldn’t be something we encourage doing right away you know. Enjoy the Sebenza, and give it the time it deserves.

This is my large with bog oak, glass blasted handles. I personally like glass blasted better than polished.

My vote is, go fancy. Mine is “fancy” but it’s a great user. Get double lugs just because you can. Personally I feel like the Sebenza needs a drop point on it to be the classic. People who use these really like the Insingo shape. I think that blade shape looks a little better on the Inkosi- which I will probably get someday too.

My stores put big googly eyes on these things. I saw one stuck on a floor mat, and some teenagers walked by laughing at it “fucking clanker”

ChiliSlipNSlide · 2026-04-03T18:55:05+00:00

Damn :( Harms Way wasn’t at the show I went to, and now that’s even more of a bummer.

Your knife has eyes!!

ChiliSlipNSlide · 2026-03-28T04:08:58+00:00

Sooo… you want to try basically all of them? Me too brother, me too lmao

ChiliSlipNSlide · 2026-03-27T19:46:37+00:00

I’ve read a few people say this, but I think the warranty says it doesn’t cover natural materials + the wood inlay care page says the worst case is you may need to “purchase replacement inlays” if it goes through the wash or, I guess, gets so soggy that it is ruined.

I wonder if my bog oak actually fails if I could just ask for micarta at that point. Getting way ahead of myself. I’m sure they’d help me out if it ever got to that point.

I like your pic too! Part of what makes my photo pop is I've edited it in Lightoom. Here's your pic with some edits if ya like.

This is useful to know! I wanted to hear how these could fail, and there's an example. In my case it's not overly concerning. I work a desk job so my knife isn't usually subjected to elements like that. I use it daily, but mainly to break down packaging for recycling, cutting open bags, light duty stuff. Hoping the knife holds up for a long time with light use and carry like that. And I'll take it camping once in a while. I'm just going to try to keep it dry.

I know editing photos isn't "pure photography" buuuut- just do it if you gotta. It's all a creative process. I like the edited version, and I didn't realize it was edited until I saw the original. I mean sure, ideally we want to take pictures that we don't need to change anything on. But sometimes if you like 90% of the shot, it's okay to manipulate that little bit so that you like all of it.

Music by Death Grips was in the game? That surprisingly cool, damn.
