Respectfully, you missed one detail since the lanyards are removed. On both large and small Inkosi, the lanyard position at the upper portion of the handle in effect lengthens the handle length, and prevents the slight discomfort of the angular rear portion of the Seb handle because of the way the handle basically rolls into the lanyard. It's very innovative, and not discussed. It's less of an issue on the large Inkosi, major difference on the small, but make both sizes of the Inkosi more comfortable in the heel of the hand than the Seb.
What's your favorite ever EDC knife? I had Hinderer but flipper is a huge hot spot, hence why I went The Ranch this time. But my gal is a Holt but I think closest it seems I can get is a CRK. My EDC now is ZT 0308
@@toddconrad9302The hole in the 31 is because the lanyard pin is removed. The Inkosi doesn’t have a lanyard pin. Sebenza and Umnumzaan both have the removable lanyard pin.
Great video. I have to ask though, your thoughts on the insingo blade shape? Do u like it less than the tanto for a specific utilitarian reason or simply aesthetics?
With the pivot screws being much bigger in the Inkosi, would it create hotspots? I use pinch grip a lot, and the size of the pivot screw is the major reason why I haven't gotten an Inkosi
I have both. The Inkosi pivot and washers are better by a decent amount. It’s just more stout all around. The 31’s are very fine knives but they’re no Inkosi.
Great video! Looking heavily into an inkosi tanto. The only thing I'd like to have kept on it would have been the bushing, pivot style spacer and the lockbar face to be taller like the sebbie. But man I'm still getting it. Lol.
Excellent presentation my friend, as always. In one old man's opinion, I believe the 31's internal workings to still be head and shoulders superior to the Inkosi. Both are still fine examples of one of the greatest knife makers in the current world today. I have appreciated his work since he was still living in South Africa and have enjoyed watching him grow bigger and better as the years have gone by. Chris's designs have all been great, as you know, but I think his model 31 is his best to date. Keep up the good work with your reviews and opinions. They are very much enjoyed and appreciated in this world of bombastic noises from many others.
Still think the 31 in a tanto will be the best for my taste..... arriving in 2021 according to CRK !
Omg I might hold off for that..!
This was the greatest knife review ever

Bizarre - the show side still has that "hole", but hidden behind the micarta. But the plain Jane model doesn't.
They always have a hole behind an inlay. I don't know if it's to help remove it if needed or something with installation.

Come on lol a hotspot from a pivot? Wtf. It's all nice and round.
I couldn’t decide between them, so I got a ebony inlayed sebenza 31 and a natural micarta inkosi tanto!
The titanium on the handles is the same thickness for both knives.
I’m an inkosi fan myself. May get the tanto reblade for my current inkosi
I have both. The Inkosi pivot and washers are better by a decent amount. It’s just more stout all around. The 31’s are very fine knives but they’re no Inkosi.
I haven’t been able to decide wich to get you would go inkosi it’s my first crk

Thanks Kevin!
Nice vid! They’re hardened 59-60 and the primary bevel is convex:)
The Plain Jane Sebenza 31 is heavier than the micarta, not lighter.
That’s interesting. Does anyone know how deep the inlay goes into the ti?

Chris has had nothing to do with the company for years.
Prefer the Inkosi!
The Sebenza 31 looks better than the Inkosi
