Going with a large was an easy choice for me - I prefer knives with blades in the 3.5-3.75" range. I've purchased a few with 3-3.25" blades because I've liked the way they look; but those knives never seem to get carried because they don't fit/feel right to me. I may, at some point, buy a small 21 with snakewood inlays; but it will be with no expectation of carrying/using it.

I've been struggling with the same question!!
A large seems much more comfortable to me but living in a metro area just seems to get too much scrutiny. I'm ok with the small now. Having decided to carry it mainly due to versatility and ease where I work.
But around the house, it's a large for me!!
In proper BF fashion, buy both!!

It's such a classy looking knife I wouldn't foresee an issue with the sheeple...has anyone ever said anything?

yeah, I've taken my large into the office a few times and every time I take it out to use it. I definitely get some looks from staff and patients.
However, I do work in a Physical Therapy office.... HaHa.
I'm sure the patients are like "What is he planning on doing with that!?!?!?"

It being a knife is enough to scare some "sheeple". They can't tell the difference between a CRK and a Dark Ops or a Gerber.
I'm trying to get myself to rotate my small Insingo back into my EDC rotation, but I like the large Insingo so much it's really difficult to do it. I like them both, and I can see where I would pick the small over the large, such as in a formal setting. At my workplace, nobody cares about my knives, whether large or small, so it's not an issue.

Same here, though I don't own a small, I could see a small carbon fiber drop point being just about the best formal setting knife imaginable. For EDC at work where nobody would even think twice about it I don't think there's a chance it would replace my large insingo.
