Re: Lil Chokwe
I think it's safe to say we won't be getting much info about upcoming models anymore.
Unless it's word of mouth from people who have seen the prototypes or casual bombshells from Sal, it seems like we won't get much more info until it's officially shown in the reveal catalogs.
Right now we know the Lil Chokwe is -
• about 3.25" blade
• compression lock
• carbon fiber scales
• wire clip
• a stainless, easy to sharpen, good edge holding steel

Re: Lil Chokwe
The Chokwe might just be my favorite knife in the whole collection. The lil' will be a day-one pickup for me.

Re: Lil Chokwe
Agreed - I ended up trading away my existing Chokwe knowing a comp lock version is coming soon. CQI!

I'm biased - I like the comp lock so much that I think it's CQI on liner and frame locks :DMushroom wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:46 amThis isn't a result of CQI, its a completely new design.curlyhairedboy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:43 amAgreed - I ended up trading away my existing Chokwe knowing a comp lock version is coming soon.

Re: Lil Chokwe
It's an interesting design that had been refined for hundreds of years in Zambia. It's a simple "stick" handle, but it works very well and it's not as simple as it looks to be.

Re: Lil Chokwe
Hey Sal
Just curious but when I read up on the description of the Chokwe it mentioned a charity. Is this something we can expect for this new model?

Re: Lil Chokwe
Kristi is working on that. We used to use a charity for aids in Africa.

Re: Lil Chokwe
That's great news. If that's the case I may have to trim my collection to get one when it comes out.

Re: Lil Chokwe
Wow that's fantastic! If you're supporting a charitable cause that definitely takes this one from a maybe to a must buy, for me at least. Thanks for all the good work y'all do, Sal.
