Since the day I unboxed my first CRK I've wanted to unite these three, but I kept pushing it off for other purchases. Finally realized the dream yesterday. Had to share a couple photos. 😀





Despite my love for the large 21s, the small is still one of my favorites.

 
Nice! Congratulations on finally getting all three!
Curious about the lanyard pins on the large ones...is it just the pics or are they flat?

Nice! How do you like the CF?

I love it. It's hard to pick a favorite of the three, but if I could only keep one I think the CF would be it. I had a small CF Insingo and it was too light for my taste, but the reduced weight is absolutely perfect on the large.

They are flat! Each large has a custom titanium lanyard pin from MXG. I really like them. They fit perfectly, don't rattle, and look really nice between the slabs.

I've owned several knives over the years with carbon fiber scales, and none of them compared to CRK's CF. It's gorgeous, perfectly smooth, and insanely durable. You'd never know that knife has seen pocket time.
 
Very nice! I was on the "alert" list for blade hq for the c.f. inlay standard blade... when the knife was shipped to me and I opened the package it was the c.f. insingo blade.

I could not bring myself to send it back. Ended up getting the standard version slightly used on our exchange here (Carrying it now).

Don't know where I was going with that story, nice knives and have a good weekend

Nice! I've been mulling over getting a Large Insingo w/ CF inlays. They're beautiful, and the only Insingo I'm missing now. Perhaps after I pick up a couple Damascus CRKs. ;)

Thanks! I've been carrying the Large Micarta Insingo for 48 hours now, and I love it. It's quite the bulge in-pocket compared to the other two, but it's a dream in use. The smoothest 21 I've ever had out of the box.
 
Very nice trio indeed !!!!!!
Before long the large will melt in your pocket and you won't even notice it.
I really don't know what it is about the Insingo, I've currently got one large and had two others ( large and small ) and both of those were NIB and the smoothest out of the box of all the new CRK's I have.

It definitely seems to be a trend. All 4 of my Insingos were ridiculously smooth (and sharp) out of the box. The Large Micarta is just especially so.
 
That's a nice trio. I've thought about getting a large CF for the office/dress. I had a small CF and agree completely on the weight it was just too light.
 
Very nice - Congrats!

I have the same trio for both the small and large Insingo's - you're just missing two small ones to complete that collection :cool:

I like the small carbon for things like weddings or formal events. It just disappears in your pocket.
 
Three great looking knives, congrats !

I need to try one of the CF's one day. Thanks for the pics !

Thanks!

I actually had a Small CF Insingo, but found it too small / light for me, so I sold it to fund the large. The Small Micarta is probably the only small I'll ever have, as it fills my (rather large) hand enough to make it really comfortable in use.

Oddly, I find the Small Inkosi more usable than the non-inlay Small Sebenza for some reason. Despite its smaller size, it just fits the contours of my hand better. It's awesome that you have all three in both sizes, though. That's some serious and well deserved dedication to the Insingo blade shape. 😀

Thanks! You owe it to yourself to try CRK's carbon fiber. It's the best of the best when it comes to CF.

I strongly recommend the large, regardless of blade shape.
