And hopefully the last 2 I will buy... I don't really "need" more than a large/small right?

Awesome knives! I limited myself to a Mnandi, a small Sebenza, and an Umnumzaan. I'm perfectly happy and they do everything I could need a knife to do.

I personally love larger folders, the large Insingo I bought first is really amazing, but kind of big for me to carry at work or when I go out to dinner etc.. The small will fill that role while the large will take care of tasks at home or if I am out fishing or hiking.

The small seems really small to me after having the large first, may take a little getting used to it
 
Congrats ! Two great knives you have there.

Yeah, thats what I said about 10 years ago, but my "wants" seems to be stronger than my "needs".
I am down to five though, and hope to get down to three one day.
 
The mnandis are very nice looking knives.. I have a big preference for knives with thumb studs though....
 
Very Nice 1st two sebenzas. My first was a plain large regular in BG-42. My first CGG/UG was either the large NICA or Large Moonsong, I can't remember. I have a fondness for the CGG/UG designs as I feel they are Works Of Art In Metal, just like the rest of the sebenza.

For me the simplicity of the knife makes it outstanding. Being able to take them apart and maintain myself was a huge selling factor for me... The fit in the hand is excellent (handling the small some more makes it feel more comfortable), both of the knives came in very sharp, although I reprofiled the insingo down to 30 inclusive, I plan on leaving the small as is and just stropping it until something "unfortunate" happens to the edge... I can say I am very happy with these 2 knives.. I may look into getting a small plain insingo when they are available again, seems like noone has them in stock
 
Just ordered a bacote inlaid mnandi.. Man these things are addictive...i hope my lust is taken care of for awhile

You are in trouble! I remember when I just needed one or two!



Since I took this picture, I've sold 3 and bought a 25, so I'm down to 10 CRKs.
 
Aaaaaaaandddd... Now I have a Small 21 Micarta Insingo coming my way...

Honestly, I can stop antime I want....:D
 
My first 2 were a large plain insingo and a large 21 micarta. I now have 6 total CRK's but the large plain insingo remains my favorite.
 
Very nice start to a larger collection, I am sure :-) I have only 2 now that I am keeping, Zaan and a Lg. Reg. looking for that small Reg. BG-42 to make me stop.
 
When I first got my large insingo I could not find a small one anywhere.. Looked like everyone was sold out... I spotted one online last night with the Micarta and I just decided I needed to jump on it... Anyone have good/bad to say about the Micarta? I love love love the insingo blade shape
