Insingo Micarta anyone?

Thank you, Wallace. I am patiently waiting for my Small Insingo Micarta. I think it will be perfect for the right-front pocket EDC, don't you? I was truly surprised to discover how much grip Micarta added to the Large Sebenza. As gripness goes, none of my CRKs can compete with some of my Benchmades in a tactical folder sense. But as an EDC tool, a Sebenza with Micarta is full of win.

Is gripness a word? It should be.
 
I've been carrying my new Lg Insingo Micarta (KnifeArt) for about 4 days now and it's so much fun to use.
The Insingo blade seems to scream "SHARP".
The micarta is also ergonomically and aesthetically pleasing.
Now I want a small!
 
I cant say enough about this knife. Spent the weekend cutting up cardboard at a sport show. Best knife Iv ever owned.

I see a pattern in The Force and today's EDC set.

The 915 Triage (orange one) with its blunt nose, emergency cutter and carbide glass breaker pretty much always goes in whatever vehicle I am driving. And there is almost always a SAK Classic in my left, front pocket.
 
The Triage may be the one knife I cannot imagine not having now that I do. I may get more just to keep one in every vehicle we have instead of counting on having it on my person when I am out and about.

To expand on that: I have an uncanny history of emergencies erupting around me. I have lost track of how many accidents, crimes and such that have happened right in front of me. This is probably why I feel naked without a knife (and a gun). I have watched tornados go by. I have cut seat belts with a SAK Classic while gasoline ran on the roadway. I have looked around for a rock big enough to smash a car window. I have even witnessed more than one airplane crash. I still have nightmares about Southern Airways Flight 242, which missed hitting my car by about thirty seconds. The cosmos is telling me to carry a knife. As knives go, Goldilocks would like the Triage.

I do not want to do without a Sebenza either. But it is not exactly a "rescue" knife. However, as tools go in a time of need, it certainly would beat a small rock and a plastic, picnic knife. If I had nothing else at hand, I would have a go at a car window with a Sebenza, but its light weight makes it suboptimal for that task.

True story - I saw an accident involving an 18 wheeler, a few cars and pickup trucks, a sailboat and an airplane. This was in I-285 a couple of decades ago. The sailboat and airplane were on trailers. Rush hour traffic in Atlanta is really bad.

That was probably more than you wanted to know. :D
 
Old thread but nice photos, and the Insingo, great blade shape too, checking youtube you don't see a lot of action vid's there, but I can imagine the blade shape lends itself to a ton of various chores with great ease!

The Small Micarta Insingo is what got me back to CRK. I'd owned three slab sided Sebs previously.
The comfort level on this knife hits right between the eyes. Glad I got it.

Good luck with yours.
 
The blade shape seems a bit more people friendly to my eye as well. A little less like a weapon and a little more like a tool to the non knife person. I'm not sure that others see it that way but there is certainly some advantage to the blade shape if that is true.
