Product Overview
The Chris Reeve Knives Large Inkosi LIN-1108 is a premium American-made folding knife built around the rugged and refined Inkosi design. Combining a robust titanium construction with a versatile drop point blade, the Large Inkosi is designed for demanding everyday carry and general utility applications.
This configuration features a 3.60-inch CPM MagnaCut drop point blade with a durable stonewashed finish. Hardened to 63–64 HRC, CPM MagnaCut offers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.
The Large Inkosi pairs its blade with glass-blasted 6Al-4V titanium handles, blue hardware, and dual blue thumb lugs for a distinctive premium appearance. The dual thumb lugs provide ambidextrous manual opening.
Design & Materials
The blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel hardened to 63–64 HRC. Its versatile drop point profile provides a practical cutting shape for everyday utility, slicing, and general cutting tasks, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged and understated appearance.
The handle is precision machined from 6Al-4V titanium and features a glass-blasted finish. This construction provides a strong and durable platform while giving the handle a premium matte texture and refined appearance.
