Hello everyone. My birthday is June 1st yup (43)so I have a great reason to buy myself a great knife.

I've noticed over the years, the knives I like and use the most are ones with acute tips, (tanto) thin blades hollow grind, or flat. Good slicers.

I've owned a 25, 21 large and small & umnumzaan. Was wondering how the tanto crk is? Or the insingo?
Or maybe just another 21 will suit me perfectly?

I'm in the 400ish $$$ range.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you for looking.
 
I am a 10 years and 4 days older then you... (June 5th will be 54)
Not sure what I want for my birthday. Maybe there will be a good announcement at the Blade Show that will help me out on that.

The insingo is a great blade shape I like it better then the standard blade. I expect you would like it . Can't help on the tanto.
 
I am a big fan of the insingo blade - it's a great slicer, and the shape is great for general utility. You can let your past experience guide you; but I felt the micarta inlays were a huge improvement over the plain ti scales.

Since I'm sure I'll forget by then - happy birthday.
 
Another vote for the Insingo. Especially with micarta inlays. Best slicer and blade design ever. :thumbup:

Well the obvious answer is both. ;)

A small plain Jane Insingo and a small micarta tanto are currently the only two CRKs I have. Probably my two most carried blades as of late. (that'll happen when you work in an office)

The Insingo is better as a worker and the tanto is better as a looker. Or was it the other way around?

Go different for the next one, whether that be the Tanto, Insingo, damascus, or maybe a Mnandi? Enjoy and happy early birthday!
 
I vote for insingo.
more particularly, a small insingo with a carbon fiber scale.

I tried the micarta and it is really nice, but for me, the small 21 felt so much nicer with the ultra-light CF scale.

Just today I received a small micarta Insingo, I love this knife. To me it looks a little more streamlined than a large Insingo. The Insingo just seems so versatile. It's good to have choices, no?!
 
I would go for the insingo too:thumbup: However...for something different why not call CRK on your birthday to see what you can buy with that date?
 
Ordered a small insingo micarta the other day, will post pictures when it arrives. Big thanks to everyone.👍
