I'm going to wait until an insingo blade is available, but do plan on getting the large most likely a plain Jane, unless its wide availability causes the inlay 21s insingo's to drop below 300. It'd be a tough call if that happens which to choose would be a toss up.
And the large is only bc I have an Inkosi Insingo small. Absolutely infatuated with the Insingo blade shape!Exactly the same here, only I prefer the small one.
My small 21 dp has served me soooooo well for the 5+ years I've owned it and this gives me the chance to try the canted clip, ceramic interface and the insingo blade style all at once!
Hope we see some insingo 31 action in 2020!

I think, originally ats34, then bg42CRK originally used CPM S30V, then moved to CPM 35VN.
I dunno yet. A Sebenza is going to be my next major knife purchase. If I have the funds, I plan on stopping by Spark's shop in a couple weeks when I'm in Louisville and buying whatever basic model he has in stock. If I miss out over that weekend then it will most likely be well into the summer months before I can get back that direction with time to shop. By then the 31 might be in full swing and the 21 sold out. I'd be happy with either.
My guess is that if I snag a 21 now, then I'll probably be in the market for a 31 by the end of next year. Currently I buy about 3 ZTs a year, so that would work out to two Sebenzas instead![]()
What is this shop? I'm an hour away in Lexington and would love to check it out sometime.
I got the flipper covered by a copper Natrix. Not the same quality but the blade shape is insingoey for sure.Would love one in Damascus with CF scale and maybe, maybe someday a flipper or spydiehole.![]()
