Hey guys, so generally speaking I'm a lurker, I just really love to read through threads in my spare time, but I rarely post. However, today I think I have something worth posting over. I've been into knives for a while, but only joined the forums early this year. I remember the first time I was flipping through edc threads and saw a Sebenza I kinda perked up and looked a little closer. I was really intrigued by the smooth, mostly unadorned titanium and the clean lines. I also have to admit, I also love the blue anodized parts contrasted against the gray titanium. Anyway, I'm pretty fresh out of school and about to get married, so money is pretty tight, but I decided to pinch my pennies for the past few months, and after some frugal waiting, bought myself a little something for Christmas. I got the large 21 Insingo. I also figured hell, if the Mayans say the world is gonna end tomorrow anyway, at least I'll get something fun before I die.
Anyway, package came in today, and after a couple hours of handling, I'm crazy about it. After reading all the threads about people being underwhelmed, I expected to have the same experience; but honestly I'm floored by this knife. It's the sharpest knife I've ever had straight from the factory, slips great in the pocket and seems just about the right size. Lockup is solid and I can't get any blade play no matter how hard I try. Plus, the simplicity of the titanium is just sexy. I love this knife, I think I've finally figured out what all the fuss is about. So, I just had to share some excitement since none of my friends are knife folks. I'll try to throw in some poorly taken photos just for kicks, because if I was reading the thread, I'd want to see some photos!

I'm up to a Zann, two large Sebenzas, two small Sebenzas, and now saving for a 25. But wait..... I think I may need a large and small in micarta too!!
