Oh NO - I am not in stock right now! 😞
The Umnumzaan is “The Boss”. The name comes from the Zulu language, and that is exactly how this knife is meant to be.
In the left-hand version, you can clearly see how consistently Chris Reeve works. The knife is fully mirrored: lock, thumb stud, and overall operation are designed from the ground up for left-handed use. Nothing feels adapted or improvised – everything is exactly where it should be.
The glass blasted titanium handle is functional and understated. The matte surface offers secure grip, feels comfortable in hand, and is extremely well suited for everyday carry. Signs of use are barely noticeable and simply become part of the knife.
The blade made from CPM MagnaCut delivers a very balanced mix of edge retention, toughness, and high corrosion resistance. Exactly what you want from a modern steel when a knife is meant to be used regularly, not kept pristine in a pouch.
As is typical for Chris Reeve, the blade runs on precision-tuned washers rather than ball bearings. The action is controlled, smooth, and completely free of play. This is complemented by the proven Reeve Integral Lock, known for its strength and reliability.
The Umnumzaan stands for a well-thought-out design that has proven itself for years and has deliberately remained unchanged – because it works exactly as it should.

Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
