The Chris Reeve Inkosi is the New Flagship Folder

Perfectly balanced and absolutely beautiful! The Chris Reeve Inkosi folder has claimed the position of Chief alongside the iconic Sebenza. The Inkosi pushes the characteristics of the Integral Lock, blade strength, pivot and lock tolerances as well as overall ergonomics.

The Inkosi folder is available in a large and small version, just like the Sebenza. It boasts a carefully developed hollow grind, strengthened pivot and sturdy lock up. While challenging the standards of the Integral Lock, the Inkosi is the most over built knife of its kind, a true testament of strength. Using a ceramic ball as an interface for the lock bar to the blade tang, it ensures a lifetime of consistent lock up.

This is the first time Chris Reeve has been able to use twin, over sized washers with an Integral lock. The washer diameter is wider than the blade securing zero sideways play. With larger lubrication holes there is even less surface area of friction.

With Chris Reeve's Large Hollow Grind technology, they use a shallow radius to add more strength to the blade, making it half way between a flat grind and their standard hollow grind. The Inkosi features the sandblasted matte gray handles. Comes with the Chris Reeve microfiber cloth. See it at OsoGrandeKnives.

LionSteel SR-1 Aluminum Folders with RotoBlock

The NEW LionSteel SR-1 manual opening folders are made from a single-piece of Ergal Aluminium. The SR-1's fit and finish is superb. The wide profile drop point blade is made of D2 tool steel with a hardness of more or less 60 HRC and with a thumb stud opener.

Blade finishes are available in your choice of satin or Black MilSpec finish.

The anodized aluminium handles are currently available in Black, Green, Red and Orange.

The SR-1's feature a monolithic knife and frame-lock system, designed by Molletta. The aluminium handled model is a lighter knife than the Titanium model, weighing in at only 5.57 oz. (158 g).

The SR1 features a solid frame lock with a patented mechanism called the RotoBlock system. With a simple rotation of the Rotoblock you will fix the blade in open position, basically converting the knife to a fixed blade. The Monoblock Frame is made from a single piece of aluminum!

The aluminum toolbar has been reinforced with a hardened steel insert which prevents the hard steel blade from wearing out the framelock. 

A special tool is included for adjusting the tension on the blade pivot screw. With the same tool you can move the pocket clip from one side of the knife to the other. The screw clip is equipped with a glass-breaker.

The LionSteel SR1 Molletta series is one of our favorite choices for an Every-Day-Carry (EDC) knife and it's sure to be yours too! Read more about these hot new knives right here at www.OsoGrandeKnives.com.

Quartermaster QTR-4F Hannibal Framelock Knife

The QTR-4F Hannibal from QTRM5TR is an epic mega folder! It's large and stylish with a modified reverse tanto style blade that sports triple thumb studs and a flipper opener. 

Perhaps the meanest knife to hit the market in at least, 5 years. The lock-up is tremendous. The blade has been carefully ground to keep much of its mass toward its tip. This results in the smoothest operation imaginable when coupled with the ORB® pivot system and tri-spoke pivot assembly. 

The finger guard plays double-duty as a flipper device in the closed position. The cubist appearance of the QTR4F Hannibal knife is where it's charm lies. Though the knife does not look comfortable at a glance, its looks are quite deceiving. 

The knife has amazing balance and it's design characteristics will inspire conversation whenever it's removed from the pocket for use. Grab one of these limited editions today at OsoGrandeKnives.

Killer Knife of the Week: Cold Steel Voyager Vaquero XL 5.5 Inch 29TXVS

OsoGrandeKnives has long considered the Vaquero Knife series of folders by Cold Steel to be among the best knives manufactured over the past 20 years. So you shouldn’t be surprised that the Voyager Vaquero XL is this week’s Killer Knife of the Week.

As a tool, the 5.5 Inch XL Voyager Vaquero is a lightweight, super sharp knife that is appropriate in almost any environment from hunting and camping to hiking and general utility chores. They can also readily fill specialty functions such as a boat or river knife, chute knife or police/military and survival/rescue applications.

The Voyager series are well designed and very well made and any Voyager knife will serve the user well for many years. Materials are all very good and the action and lockups are fast and solid. With it's reverse S cutting edge, the Extra-Large Vaquero Knife is fantastic for quick slicing or tearing. The serrations are very aggressive and wicked sharp!

In Cold Steel's words: "The Vaquero Voyager Series folders all feature our distinctive "S-Curve" clip point blade style. They are precision flat ground to form a long, shallow "V" shaped cross section. This is ideal for shearing through thick, fibrous materials such as manila rope, cable, hose, belts, etc. The serrated edges form a sinuous double curve. This means that whatever material is struck with the inward curving portion of the edge (near the hand) will automatically force the remaining curved edge entirely through.

These strong, handsome folders deliver an unequaled fit and finish. They are carefully machined and hand fitted by master craftsmen who take great pride in their work. Feel the power of the massively strong locking mechanisms as you thumb one of these blades open. The deeply checkered, and ergonomically designed Zytel® handles are cleverly reinforced with enough rigidity, strength, and toughness to virtually last a lifetime. Double thumb studs on each side of the razor sharp blade allow you to open these folders with either hand in the blink of an eye.

For convenience, a black stainless steel pocket clip is included. This allows for safe and secure carry in any environment."
