This is great to hear. I has assumed as much with what I’ve seen so far and I do have my eye on aInsingo bladed Large Inkosi that I’m hoping opinions here will drive me to pull the trigger. Would make my 4th CRK next to two Tanto and a DP ‘Zaan.Imo the insingo will outperform the dp in nearly every application. That’s not to say the dp is bad. It’s just the insingo especially in large sebenza is the most ideal shape and grind I’ve seen in any knife at any price. If you happen not to like it the resale is outstanding on all the chris reeve fb groups. It is more challenging to sharpen if you have any issues let me know I can hook you up
Yeah, I mean it works fine it just seems like you would always be dragging the tip. I'd rather have a knife with more belly.MrStabby7 my general at home use is cutting up boxes, opening mail and packages and food prep. I did see a video of someone using an Insingo blade for food prep and it looked like it worked wonderfully for cutting up vegetables and fruits.
push-cut! push-cut!Yeah I mean it works fine it just seems like you would always be dragging the tip. Id rather have a knife with more belly.
The Inkosi is fine I have a couple of them in insingo. But it’s a much different grind on the insingo blade. The hollow grind stops at the thumb studs where the Sebenza goes well past the studs. This amounts to a much longer sharpening choil. In other wordsThis is great to hear.

That’s a great choice can’t go wrong if you already like the Umnumzaan. I have two inkosi insingos but if I was forced to choose I’d go with the Sebenza insingo. 31 or 21 is the same. With the Inkosi you end up with a thicker stronger blade but less sharpening choil. I don’t like the trade off personally. But I guess there’s a reason I have all of themThis is great to hear.

I own two large Inkosi's one with black micarda inlays the other is the plane jain model, and both will do most any job in the house or in the yard, its a work knife and will not disappoint I would say there are no cons.Hey all,
Curious on everyone’s opinion on Chris Reeve’s Insingo blade shape. How does it stand up to every day around the house tasks compared to a drop point? Pros/Cons?
