Description
The Chris Reeve Large Inkosi Plain Insingo (LIN-1022) represents the pinnacle of folding knife design. Named after the Zulu word for “Chief,” the Inkosi builds on Chris Reeve’s legendary Integral Lock platform with meaningful refinements for superior performance and durability.
This specific example, manufactured on 21 February 2019, features:
- Blade: 3.6″ (91 mm) CPM S35VN stainless steel in a Plain Edge Insingo profile with stonewashed finish. The Insingo shape (a refined Wharncliffe/sheepfoot hybrid) offers outstanding slicing geometry, a strong tip for piercing, and excellent belly for everyday cutting tasks. Hollow ground for strength and effortless cutting.
- Handle: 6Al4V titanium scales with a sandblasted/tactile finish for secure grip. Open-frame construction keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity.
- Lock: Chris Reeve’s acclaimed Reeve Integral Lock (RIL) with ceramic ball interface for ultra-smooth, bombproof lock-up and easy maintenance.
- Deployment: Dual titanium thumb studs for fast, ambidextrous opening. Oversized phosphor bronze washers ensure silky action.
- Carry: Removable titanium pocket clip (tip-up, right-hand orientation on this model).
