Thanks. It was difficult to get a sense of size and scale from the angle. As it looks very similar in design to the Sebenza, is the Inkosi basically a large Sebenza, if we re-named the large to medium (and the small would of course stay small)? Or does the tanto blade get its own name? What's the blade length? Sorry if I sound like I'm cross-examining you, but I'm really interested in the Inkosi, since it didn't even exist back when I got all of my CRKs 10 years ago-ish.

But the glass blast is VERY nice. I thought that knife would have looked expensive but "plain" back then, but was pretty, and I couldn't account for it. Well done.

Size wise, the Sebenza and Inkosi both come in a Small and Large variant, both available with drop point, Tanto, or Insingo blade. Both come in plain, Micarta, and various wood inlays.

The main differences between the models are the pivot type (sebenza has a bushing pivot, Inkosi has a free floating pivot), blade thickness (Inkosi is .02" thicker), scale shape (Inkosi has the finger cutaways on the show side), and the Sebenza has a dedicated lanyard pin while the Inkosi lanyard wraps around the rear standoff.

Haha- very similar indeed. If you can handle them side by side though, the differences become more obvious.
The CRK website has great pics of each with plenty of detail.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2002 Reiner Long Golden Flake in a smooth dark brown quarter bend 1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 187 yachtsman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Currently, I'm not far from finishing this bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem.

That’s a handsome prototype of the bulldog shape, is it not?

Thanks. I get a lot of compliments on that particular bulldog; most of whom say exactly what you did. And, I agree.

Used my Savinelli Siena 673KS to smoke Mac Baren Mixture: Scottish Blend for the first time. What a fabulous smoke! Gave it a 5/5 to start.

Then smoked Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake for the second time in my Peterson Dublin Bulldog. Enjoyed it even more than the first time. These are some quality blends.
