Bravo Mr. Peña, Bravo!

Just arrived today and getting a feel for it. The knife is quite a bit thicker in hand then I was expecting but feels very solid and capable. The knife is quite slim in the pocket due to the profile. Action is very smooth and fidgety. Looking forward to spending some time with this one.

Also I hardly notice it in the thinnest of gym shorts. That's actually a bit surprising...

THAT'S an Insigo? I always just kind of wrote CRK off, like "Yep... that's Titanium, alright... sure looks well made... look at that frame...lock.... there's a Sebenza 31...meh" but this one is actually really beautiful and the blade profile speaks to me. Pretty swood, I must say myself.

You seemed so taken with the Insingo that I figured I'd carry my other one for Ti Tuesday, to give you another look. This one is an Inkosi--think Inkosingo, a term that may have been coined by our friend Dcdavis Dcdavis . I had to spend the morning on a job site and while my Plain Jane is an EDC and already showing a few snail trails, it's not yet been fully committed to being a work user, so I stuck with yesterday's large 21 to start and switched to the PJ once home.

Here's the two together over in the wood shop after lunch...

...and a couple shots of the Inkosi by itself a bit later.

I’m not real sure if I should get the credit for that. I think I got it from someone else here

My Rebar is getting really nasty (you can't tell from the picture). What is the best way to clean a multutool? There is gunk in nooks and crannies. Hot vinegar bath???

Hey my friend you could use WD40 or really even better would be any gun cleaner/lubricant.
I highly recommend Ballistol.

There are cases to be made for vinegar but I avoid it, especially on tools with nooks and crannies. I also avoid WD40 because it's slightly toxic. Understanding long-term health and probability, I've come down firmly on not leaning into the punch on stuff like that. EDC objects should get non-toxic lubrication at the very least.

Ballistol is a better choice than WD40. It's generally regarded as non-toxic. It's mostly oil and solvent. The solvent smells funky but then it evaporates away. This product actually has a rich history. While this write-up is probably biased, some of you might find it interesting:

The Ballistol Story

The Ballistol-Story contents all important information oft the history, the development and above all of the properties and effects of Ballistol universal oil.

For cleaning multi-tools, I use a firm toothbrush, hot water, and dish soap. A can of Dust-off with the straw attachment can be a big help in drying. I'll usually follow up with concentrated alcohol and more brushing if needed. That can help with more stubborn gunk and also get rid of any leftover water. (It is quick and easy to dry concentrated alcohol with Dust-off but be wary of temperature and please use eye protection.) You can then follow up with Ballistol or your favorite lubricant in a dropper bottle. I use non-toxic Lubriplate FMO 350-AW, which can be purchased directly from Lubriplate as "FMO Gun Oil".

Like wise my brother !!
I think you will be very Happy it really is amazing . It kind of smells like licorice to me anyway lol but then it does have a undertone of a not so pleasant smell lol but it dissipates quickly. Well respected Hickok45 on YouTube swears by it and has used it for many years. It’s my go to for around 5 or 6 years now and although mostly on guns I also use it on some knives to.
