This animal holds a special place in Chris Reeve's heart, particularly in the Mkuze Game Reserve located in the northern KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa. The name "Nyala" (pronounced Nn-yaal-a) originates from Zulu and Swahili languages, referring to the antelope's striking spiral horns and vertical striped body. The grooves on the knife's handle pay homage to these distinctive features, hence the decision to adopt the name!
