They really are great knives, I've been loving this thing the past few days, what a great cutter this blade is! Yep, scout carry. Too make it more concealed I do move my belt buckle more to the left on my torso instead of directly in the center.
That's a fantastic looking knife!!TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:36 amA little update on the Inkosi...I got to work on it last night for an hour before bed. I will say, I'm glad CRK uses a rather soft S35VN, because the steel is grinding away MUCH quicker than any of the Spyderco steels I've been working with recently. That 25-27 degree bevel is, as of now down to exactly 20 degrees after about a half hour on Wednesday night and the hour last night. I'm very happy with how quickly this is coming along! :D No burr yet, but I know I'm getting there soon enough!
Onto today's carry, I'm also very happy with how the DLC on this Bradford has held up. I gave it a cleaning last night, after a very busy couple of days at work this week. I expected maybe a couple fine scratches...nothing! Still looks brand new! My BHQ exclusive 940 with DLC has a few faint/fine scratches from just the first day I carried it, so I wasn't sure what to expect out of Bradford. So far so good! We'll see how it compares with Spyderco DLC over time.
As you can see, my greasy Italian skin is already starting to patina and wear in these scales a bit :D
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY! Great on both counts, Rick! I think I may reprofile my sebenza this weekend as well. I'm pretty curious to see where the bevels are at now.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:36 amA little update on the Inkosi...I got to work on it last night for an hour before bed.

Thank you sir! I have to agree. I'm very happy I pulled the trigger on buying this one, I initially wasn't looking at the Wharnie model because I told myself I wasn't going to spend over $200 on my first fixed folder...but I caved, and am glad I did!! This knife is perfect size for anybody with Medium/Large hands. Larger than Large size, it's likely a 3 finger grip knife. So much cutting power and a nice Kydex sheath included for scout carry. Only downfall is it doesn't come with a clip (thankfully I had an extra G-Clip) I'm liking this knife way more than I expected. The last time I felt this excited about a new model in hand was my first Shaman almost 2 years ago now, and I've had a lot of knives pass through these hands the past couple years :p (honorable mention surprisingly goes to the K390 Endela)benben wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 7:40 amThat's a fantastic looking knife!!TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:36 amA little update on the Inkosi...I got to work on it last night for an hour before bed.

I have not seen that mod in awhile. It was pretty popular back then and I think it inspired the line of (larger) multitools that Leatherman sells that have no pliers.
That White River Knives Caper looks sweet. I chose the thrifty route and got their Backpacker Pro.
Very cool, They make great knives. Very happy with this one. Nice looking ZT here!!
