I've owned a Large Insingo briefly but Large isn't very large to me. Does anybody else feel the same way? I'm thinking it needs to be proportionally thicker as well... maybe .160" Ti and a .140 blade.
 
Though I don't see it happening, I'll put in a vote for a larger Large Sebenza. I recently acquired a Large Insingo, and while it is a phenomenal knife that hasn't left my pocket, I wouldn't call it a large knife. Even a 4" blade would be quite nice and reasonable.
 
My sweet spot is 5" but I EDC a 5.5" DDR.

 
Id already have one if it was 4". 4" to me is regular. Anything under is small.
 
A 5" Sebenza does sound quite appealing to me.

You have some of the sweetest knives! I usually settle close to 3.5-4", but that's purely on availability. A 5" blade would give me a much better handle with which to work.

Off topic, but thank you for saying this properly. I thought I was the only one who said it that way, but I guess not. :thumbup:

You're a strange one, CM:p

Here we all are, asking for a "medium" sebenza, and youre over there contemplating an XL:D
 
I agree that the "large Sebenza" isn't a particularly large knife but I can't say I have found it lacking. It does carry well and handles everything I need it to do. That said I would be interested in and would get use from a "big Sebenza" with a blade about 5" in size, infact that would make more sense to me than the medium Sebenza idea. :):thumbup:
 
I could do a 4" or maybe 4 1/2" sebenza, but anything after that would just be too impractical for my needs.
 
5" Sebenza? Probably not for me....but an Umnumzaan or variant thereof..That would be pretty cool :)
 
Interesting idea, but too large of a folder for me. All of my blades over 3.5" are fixed blades.
 
I was talking to a few friends at my local knife shop lastnight and we agree fully that there needs to be a 4.5 inch Umnumzaan in 3v. :D:thumbup:

Another +1..... That would be a BEAST. I'd also like to see the knife blasted as usual (fasteners /pivot too) and put the coating on that they're using on the smaller fixed blades. Also, pull down the criss cross lines pattern and stamp it "3V".
