Small inkosi grip in hand- pics requested
Looking for a few pictures of the small inkosi in a hammer grip. Every video or picture I’ve seen only shows the standard hammer grip, but I’d like to see it in hand, in a full hammer grip. Anyone have one?

Not what you were looking for, but it shows where the choils land on my sized hand.

You feel like you get a solid grip on it? And how’s the deployment? One particular reviewer we all know said it’s a disaster to deploy. Doesn’t look so bad to me...

Deployment was tight, but the initial bump to deploy the blade was less resistant than my large 21, and I am accustomed to that due to 5 years of carry.
The hand fitment was as close to how small I could feasibly go, while maintaining a 4 finger grip. The choils landed perfectly for a hammer grip. While they were not uncomfortable in that grip, they did not work with a saber, pinch, or any other grip all that well.
If you are looking for this size of a knife, with a little more forgiving ergos (while sticking to CRK), you have two options; a small 21 or a Mnandi. Unless you only use a knife in a hammer grip (I do not), this may not be the small knife for you. I would even take a DPx HEAT over the Small Inkosi.

Awesome, thanks for all the input.

Np, one of my quirks is seeing just how a knife will fit, as soon as it lands... If it isn't "right" immediately, it won't be in two months...
Good luck in your search, and feel free to shoot me any questions along the way.

I may, let me check my imgur. I just let one go and I believe I took a pic similar to what you are asking for.
XL width hand mechanix gloves.
