Very nice! I think that's a Harpoon Spanto, right?

Finally finished up with reprofiling the Inkosi, and wow...what a difference!! :D
Nothing fancy, just ground away the convex grind, gave it an even 17dps per side and finished as I have with the other knives I've worked on lately with the Work Sharp Precision Adjust to really dial it in at the end. It slices like a dream with a 600 grit finish and a few passes on the fine and ultra fine rods at 20dps for a nice and sticky sharp edge. Cuts like a Spyderco now

Glad to hear. Looking forward to hear how it holds up in use compared to before.

Yeah, Hinderer has a fantastic action for a flipper. They really do.

Awesome, Rick. I'm planning to do the same to mine, hopefully this week.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:11 pmFinally finished up with reprofiling the Inkosi, and wow...what a difference!! :D

What Herman do you have? I'd love to own one!

Same here! I'll likely throw it in the pocket for a few days this week and see how it does and report back for anybody that would be interested.

I don’t like to own “safe queens”, but the Herman is too nice to use. The Hinderer, on the other hand, just screams hard use to me.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Awesome! That's the way they should come from factory. I don't understand why they would pay such amazing attention to detail to everything else only to put a half-baked edge on it. :confused:TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:11 pmFinally finished up with reprofiling the Inkosi, and wow...what a difference!! :D

Every CRK knife should come hair-whittling sharp, from factory. That would be more in keeping with their company image of flawless perfection and utility.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
I agree 100%!! For the price of these knives, perfection is expected. I do like this knife enough that hogging off all that steel on my own was worth it though. That grind was the only thing I disliked. Can't wait to see how it performs now!The Meat man wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:51 pmAwesome! That's the way they should come from factory.

This came in today, and bought a new gun safe today also.
