## Description

Okapi is a pocket knife and hand-tools manufacturing company based on the north-east Coast of South Africa. The okapi knife is a working knife designed to be highly robust, practical and equally affordable all the while remaining faithful to its rich 112-year-old heritage. Whether an okapi knife is needed for everyday tasks or to clean wild game, the 1055 high carbon steel blades are up to the challenge from one end the continent to the other. The stabilized cherry handle, stainless steel stirrup and back-strap, and sloping shape give the okapi knives their distinctive look, recognizable by collectors around the world. Truly the leader of the pack, the okapi locking folder (KO9070) is renowned with its crescent moons and three star inlays and ring. The distinct ratcheting sound when opening and closing is as much its trademark as its signature look. So Notorious is this knife, that it has found its way in songs found in reggae music. The 3 3/4" 1055 carbon steel blade features a unique drop point shape. The okapi locking folder secured its place in knife history not only as a great EDC knife but as a bad boy blade. Also available in a black plastic handle version (KO9071). overall: 9" blade length: 3 3/4" handle length: 5 1/2" weight: 2.4 oz blade steel: 1055 handle material: cherry.

Review: MUCH better than I'd expected! - I'd read some negative reviews that worried me when I initially purchased the Okapi, but now that I have it, I love it. It's definitely not a Chinese knockoff, real cherry wood, carbon steel, very sharp out of the box, polished finish, tight blade joint, and the ratcheting mechanism feels stronger than I'd anticipated. It even came with oil in the blade joint! Great quality and a lot of care for such a cheap knife!
Review: Love it - Got mine from CAS Iberia. Not a sharp knife but when you sharpen them they do OK at edge retention for1055. I am more about the novelty and fun with this knife. Has a great history too from South Africa to Jamaica, to a famous rock star who carried one. I won't get into all that but research it. Its all interesting stuff. Fun to fidget with too.
