Hey all, just got my Large Insingo in and it is gorgeous! It currently has a single blue lug on it and the ano seems to be wearing off. I'm planning on sending the knife in anyway to have a "Glorious" graphic added and was thinking that while it was there I would do something with the lugs. I'm leaning towards double lugs for the sole reason that I usually open my knives with my middle finger. Debating on whether to go double blue or double silver. The graphic has no color so I think the silver may look best, especially if the blue has a habit of wearing off.. Appreciate the feedback as always!
 
I've always liked the silver studs and often times find myself opening with my left hand...so I voted dual silver studs. However, I do think a red, while and blue glorious design would look sweet and blue (or red) studs would fit nicely.
 
I have a large Insingo. It came with a single silver lug. If I needed to sent it in for a new lug I would do the double silver lugs.

Will they add a graphic on a Insingo. I was under the impression from what I read that they would not add graphics to an Insingo.
 
I am a fan myself of the silver lugs since the color does wear off. I like the look of the double because of the symmetry it gives:)
 
Im not a Big Fan of the Double just because its hard as hell to deploy it left handed, do to it not having the cut out. Did however vote for the Double silver, as you stated you can open it with your middle finger. Might have to give that a try with my Starbenza!
 
I had a double lug once. Could never do the middle finger flick with it. But I voted for the double silver just for the aesthetics.
 
I used to be solidly in the double silver camp, but have gradually moved toward the single-just easier entering and exiting p0cket, and I never have need for the 2nd lug.

I tried holding it in my left hand and opening with my middle finger. It flew open :)

I'm pretty sure the glorious is colorless. I attached a photo, looks pretty good with the silver stud pictured.

Never knew you could send one in for a graphic. For a Glorious I'd probably go single silver. IMO Sebenzas are as much a joy to open and feel the hydraulicky goodness as they are to use so I'm not really a flicker on these. I've tried opening a Zaan and 25 with my left hand before with not much luck so I have no use for them, and the symmetry doesn't bother me.

Double silver I could go for, but double blue I could see having a very worn lug on one side with a much bluer lug on the other side over a long period of time. I also like the little blue dot accent on the back side of the blade with a single lug. Double lugs great for sharpening consistency with the Edge Pro though. Can't go wrong whatever you choose.
 
I've never understood why anyone would want a single lug, but I've never had a double lug catch on a pocket and I routinely have to open a knife with either hand, so that's probably it. If I had it catch on a pocket now and then that would be a different story.....

Now on a handgun I'm the opposite I don't like the double sided safeties that are all the tactical rage these days, unless you are a lefty. I've seen more than one double sided safety disengaged because something bumped/caught the exposed side, especially since most hostlers do not cover that outside safety.
 
I'm going to hold off on voting because I seem to change my mind on this one.

I did like silver the best, and have three with it, but I also like the blue and will no longer send an older model in for a change.

What are these "safeties" you speak of? :)
