Product Description

The Chris Reeve Large Inkosi LIN-1118-006 is the most technically advanced folding knife Chris Reeve Knives produces — and this configuration pairs the Large Inkosi's titanium chassis with a natural canvas micarta inlay that makes every single knife unique. No two handle patterns are identical. If you carry a CRK, you carry something nobody else has.

The blade is ground from CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC — Crucible's particle metallurgy stainless steel engineered to outperform in edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance simultaneously. At 63-64 HRC, this is among the hardest CPM MagnaCut production blades available, delivering edge retention that outlasts virtually every other folding knife steel at this hardness. The 3.60" drop point runs a 20° hollow grind — a geometry that blends the slicing efficiency of a hollow grind with the spine strength of a flat grind, giving you a blade that excels at precision cutting tasks without sacrificing the durability that defines CRK's reputation. The stonewashed finish is low-maintenance and resistant to showing field wear.

The handle is machined from 6AL4V titanium — aircraft-grade, glass blasted to a consistent matte finish — with natural canvas micarta inlay panels that grip in wet conditions and develop character with carry. A 97 RC ceramic ball interface sits between the Reeve Integral Lock bar and the blade tang, preventing metal-on-metal wear and ensuring the lock maintains accuracy for the lifetime of the knife. The off-set clip design carries tip-up right-hand, and an integrated lanyard hole accepts paracord — visible in the photo.
