The XM-18 3" No Choil Slicer is probably one of my favorite 3" knives, it's near perfection. However, it's pretty rare that I reach for it over a 3.5". I keep hoping for a proper 3" Sheepsfoot framelock XM from RHK.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 12:54 pmHA! I've been on the hunt the past few weeks for Hinderer XM-3, but also been looking at XM-3.5's as they seem to be a bit easier to find. I'm feeling pretty picky about what I want though (Non flipper, slicer style blade, bronze or black, preferably a black or stonewashed blade) I've found a few on ebay, but I'm not paying those prices!
I must be an odd ball with the CRK's. Something about the Large 31 I don't love, not sure what it is! I had a PJ and also the one with the Box Elder inlays (so I guess I lied in the post above, I've sold two!) I absolutely love the Large Inkosi, so I can't see a 31 even with the Insingo blade taking it's spot. The collection really would look more well rounded with a Large 31 though
Yes, very grateful to have the polished Small 31!! That was the first CRK I bought after PM'ing with you back and forth a few years ago. That $500 price tag back then doesn't feel so bad now, seeing what they go for these days

The Large Inkosi Insingo is here ! Brand new for what I think is a good price, at least in Europe. It's everything I hoped it'd be.
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Thanks ! I love it, I kinda like the drop point too though. I think they'll both get used almost as much :)
I got it from a french knife nut, he owns many high end knives he never even get out of the box. Got the Seb from Maison Berthier though, steep prices but every CRK dealer in Europe has to sell at these prices

Well, that's a knife for someone nicknamed MacLaren ! It must be such an experience to manipulate.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
True, The Impinda will certainly not get in my home, but the Mnandi is most definitely next on the list :) maybe the Zaan afterwards, but I don't know how thick the grind is on that thing ! The Inkosi is as far as I'd like to go, BTE thickness-wise (in folders, of course )

One of their sweetest fixed blade designs in my opinion.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Nice ! I like the look but I rarely use "thicker" fixed blades, even if it's not that thick compared to some. It's an epic and classic look though.
I love the lines of their Inyony design, but in Europe they rarely import their fixed blades. Everyone is fighting over the folders here.
Last arrival at Knives&Tools was ONE LG 31 w/ micarta inlays
