Insingo advantage?

[chili77]

Hi guys

I am thinking about what the advantage of the Insingo Blade is.
Please help me out.

Other than the point beeing in a different place there is really not much that one could call an advantage over any other blade style. The low and less acute point can be an advantage when piercing something you don't want to pierce is an issue. That blade style has been used around live stock for a long time and has been used by sailors for a good while too. I personally like a bit of belly on my knives and I'm not a big fan of the sheep's foot or wharncliffe blades my self. That said it does work well on larger knives in the kitchen but that is a rather specific use and not what most of use use a pocket knife for of course.

The shape has much the same characteristics of the sheepsfoot blade style:

I like the look of it better.

I find the regular blade shape looks more aggressive.

One of the things I use a pocket knife for is to prepare my lunch at work.
The Insingo is great for this.
