I've heard that the insingo blades are ground thinner than the standard ones. Is this true? If so would anyone have a small sebenza in both blade shapes post pis? That would be greatly appreciated :P
 
by memory no
my small 21 with the clip point blade seemed with +- the same edge thickness, only the belly towards the tip is thicker but I've read it happens or can be encountered (thicker belly edge)
referring to the straight portion of the edge no, not much at least

maybe someone will be faster, can't post pics as the insingo is coming back from the spa...
 
You migh be right about the thinner blade!

I ordered a small insingo with polished blade straight from CR a while back. Two weeks ago they mailed me that Chris had decided not to polish the blade as this would thin it out to much!

This leaves open a few
Possibilities.
Either, the blade is thinner than the standard sebbie's! Or, due to the blade geometry the is a need for just that little bit of extra thickness!
As soon as I receive it, I'll try to make some decent shots!

Hope this helped

It's hard to tell from looking at them or feeling them. The grind-line on my Insingo does look like it could start a hair above the plain blade grind-line but that could just be my eyes tricking me.

I've taken a pic of the bottom of the blade shapes next to each other and they seem to have the same thicknesses at the edge. Even if the grind starts a hair higher on the Insingo blades, that difference in thickness overall would be negligible and impossible to notice in performance, in my opinion.

The plain is on the left and the Insingo is on the right:
