The large Inkosi. This one came with aluminum bronze inlays. \u00a0One of only 10 available, all for the nominal price of $2,000 each!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Chris Reeve Sebenza 21 is widely considered the perfect folding knife. \u00a0But it’s more than two-decade reign at the head of the folding-knife pack may be over.<\/p>\n

That’s right. \u00a0Well, that’s right because Chris Reeve has launched the large and small Inkosi, which they’ve branded as a “new family of folding knives.” And these new knives may just knock their older brother out of the lead spot.<\/p>\n

One can make an argument that the Inkosi (Zulu word for “chief”) is the Sebenza (Zulu word for “work”) version 3.0. \u00a0I say, “3.0” because the Sebenza 25 is technically the 2.0 version. \u00a0And it’s worth noting that in the wake of the launch of the Inkosi, the Sebenza 25 will be discontinued (better gobble up those S25s now, fanboys!). \u00a0Also, just to clarify, the Sebenza 21 will still be offered. \u00a0It’s a classic. \u00a0It’s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Now, Chris Reeve has offered the small Inkosi for some time now, which compared to the small Sebenza has oversized phosphor bronze washers, an angled pocket clip for more accurate lock bar tension, a larger pivot, double thumb lugs, an 8 percent thicker blade, and a\u00a0ceramic ball end lock heat treated to 97 RC! \u00a0Yup, this new system ceramic ball system will give the blade added strength and a lifetime of consistent lock up.<\/p>\n
