Chris Reeve NYALA Nyala Classic Skinner, Brown Micarta Scales, Leather Sheath. In the Chris Reeve Knives tradition of simple, elegant and functional, the Nyala is a modern version of a classic skinner. Featuring the utility of a drop point and enough belly for skinning, this all purpose knife will prove useful in a multitude of applications. The integral handle and blade of CPM S35VN is sturdy and practical - spiral and lineal grooves in the micarta handle provide positive grip - good knife control is provided by serrations on the spine. The high quality sheath is made of leather treated to be water resistant.

The Nyala is a Southern African antelope found in dense forested areas, and is one of Chris's favorite African animals. They are prevalent in Mkuze Game Reserve in the northern KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa - one of Chris's favorite areas. Nyala (pronounced Nn-yaal-a) is the Zulu and Swahili name for this handsome antelope. Male Nyala are most easily recognized by their distinctive spiral horns and vertical striped bodies. The grooves on the handles of knife Nyala, are reminiscent of those distinctive spiral horns, hence the decision to borrow the name!

What a great blade! The fit and finish is immaculate. It is hard to believe that its not a completely custom knife. Wicked sharp out of the box, grooved handle slabs work to help any grip, and it is simply the best knife I have ever bought, and I have bought quite a few. At this price point its the best deal out there as well. Don't keep sitting on the fence on this blade, get it you will not be disappointed. I did a lot of research before I pulled the trigger, and I have to say that every good thing I read about CRK is borne out by this knife. This dog hunts! Great service from Oso Grande as well. Don't wait, get one!

The Nyala is simply awesome. I like EVERYTHING about it. Shape, size, handle, steel, sheath. It's probably the ultimate fixed EDC knife on the market.

This is my first Chris Reeve knife and I'm really impressed with the quality. The sheath is is absolutely top notch made from very thick cowhide and the knife fits snuggly so you don't have to worry about it falling out. The CPM-S35VN blade steel is a great performer. It is tough and has excellent edge-holding characteristics. I use this as both a hunting and camp knife and highly recommend it for these tasks.
