Description
The Chris Reeve Knives Small Inkosi Plain Insingo (SIN-1022) brings the renowned Inkosi platform into a smaller, highly usable size while retaining all the strength and refinement that Chris Reeve knives are famous for.
This specific example was hand-assembled on 23 January 2019 and is in mint condition, complete with all original packaging and accessories.
Key Features:
- Blade: 3.0″ (76 mm) CPM S35VN stainless steel in a Plain Edge Insingo profile with a stonewashed finish. The Insingo shape (a refined Wharncliffe/sheepfoot hybrid) delivers excellent slicing geometry, a strong reinforced tip, and outstanding cutting performance for everyday tasks.
- Handle: 6Al4V titanium scales with a sandblasted/tactile finish for secure grip and lightweight strength. Open-frame design reduces weight while maintaining rigidity.
- Lock: Chris Reeve’s patented Reeve Integral Lock (RIL) with ceramic ball interface — one of the strongest and most reliable frame locks ever created.
- Deployment: Dual titanium thumb studs for fast, ambidextrous opening. Large phosphor bronze washers ensure the signature silky-smooth Chris Reeve action.
