That’s exactly how they explained the reason to me. They make more DP blades. Just saying it leaves me an option to have 2 different blades for the future if I get bored.

Or if you're really bored, get a stunning Damascus blade :p, you'll have to wait about a year for the Damascus, so you better order early and anticipate the boredom :oops:

Love that doppler pattern. I didn't know they did the starbenza in the insingo blade. My next failed attempt to like a Sebenza will probably be a Wilson Combat insingo . . . thanks for that. My favorite of the sebbies I've tried was a CF insingo, and it still baffles me that they don't do CGG handles or damascus blades in the insingo blade shape.

The only thing about the insingo blade that took me by surprise was the swedge near the tip. At first touch I thought it was going to cut my finger but a moment later it felt the like the awl ona Swiss army pioneer X. I’m guessing it’s there to help with piercing cuts.

I sharpened that swedge on mine and use it as a scraper.

I do a lot of draw and trace cutting so I vote insingo.
 
I bought two small 21s, one of each. Sold the drop point and went on to misplace the insingo (I hope it shows up in the house some day no idea where I saw it last). Bought a inkosi insingo small to replace.

Drop point for me.

EDIT: I plan to try the insingo in the 31 if that ever happens. I also hope they re-design the insingo blade for the 31 more like the inkosi insingo blade; more pointy tip and more belly.

I originally voted DP, but I just got my early christmas present in, a small PJ insingo.

This is day one of the honeymoon , but let's see how this fare. I allways had an issue with the looks of the insingo blade vs the DP cause the DP is so damn sexy. Backspacer is moved on to the insingo as you can see(@TTTis you REALLY need to make some more for us.. :D)

I'll give it some time and I might change my vote on this one.

Have a nice evening folks.

I imagine we all prefer one shape over the other and have our justifications. Like most I find the small to small and thought the large was to big. Turns out the large is just right. They should call it standard, it’s just the right size in the hand and I have medium sized hands. I went with Insingo Micarta.
 
DP for small.
Insingo for large.

The DP is so well done. It just looks and feels right in the small.
