Had no interest in the original, but after handling the Lil'Chokwe prototype I am looking forward to it.
Where did you see the prototype?

I love the original, but I don't carry it much because it's a little big for EDC, and the detent isn't very strong, so it once open in my pocket... hope they make the detent stronger on the Lil' model.

Totally going to dig my Chokwe out and carry it for a couple days now. :)


I also think a Lil Chokwe would be an awesome knife.

I like the Chokwe but don't carry it all that often.

If the upper rear of the handle was rounded, it would probably get more carry time. Unfortunately it gets in the way when trying to get in my pockets.

I really like the knife though.

Hopefully we get some pics sometime in the next few months.
