The real question is, can I stop myself from doing it anyway?

Small Inkosi Insingo in tumbled S45VN, sandblasted handle, and a 2023 Blade Show bead & lanyard. SIN-1022, born May 18 2023.

Found it still new in box from Tactical Elements, how it never sold is beyond me. Wasn’t sure about them at first, never seen them mentioned here and their site looks a bit sketchy, so had to do some googling to check if they were legit. Shoutout their customer service though, smooth anti fraud verification since it was my first purchase, friendly rep, and even put some stickers, mints and band aids(lmao) in the box.

Compared to my Civivi Vision FG and WE Roxi 3, the fit on this is insane, people really aren’t exaggerating their tight tolerances. Such a lovely piece of craftsmanship. I was even impressed with the attention to detail of the packaging, from the nice branded microfiber cloth to the fancy paper stock the info package is printed on lol.

I think my only critiques will end up being the pocket clip, and the tease of a front flipper tab. The clip far thinner than I would prefer, so I can feel it digging into my middle finger when opening/closing mainly. The blade is clearly not designed to be a front flipper, but the little tab at the end of the jimping is just enough for me to want to use it 😭. Also I don’t understand the hate on the thumb studs, but granted, I’ve only been playing with it for an hour.

This knife makes my OCD very pleased all in all. Id put it at a 9/10, and i’m not sure it’s even fair to deduct that point for the pocket clip and front flipper qualm, especially since they’re completely personal preference, and the clip can easily be swapped.

Anybody know? It’s always been my favorite track of his, but in dozens of shows since 2012 I have never heard it live. I need it in a CTGH set please 😩

New album from Ekforce is gas! First ever vinyl pressing from him, and reasonably priced compared to most releases these days. Highly recommend for any fans of Tippers downtempo style.
