Finally pulled the trigger on my first Sebenza. I decided on the 21 small insingo, mainly because of blade length being just under 3". I thought the money I spent on my Emersons were as high as I would go on a knife. My Insingo arrived an hour ago and I can't put it down. Like the dealer I bought it from it truly is "KnifeArt". Feels too nice to EDC...i'll have to get over that quick. IMAG1279.jpg
 
Congrats! A sweet knife for sure. I too just got my first CRK last week so I know exactly how you feel! :thumbup:
 
Small 21 Insingo is my EDC as well. I absolutely love the shape, it is my favorite Sebenza blade bar none. Don't be afraid to use it, that thing is an absolute beast especially for its size. Congrats on the new addition!
 
Great choice for a first sebenza. I had like 15 OPR CRK before i broke down and got a sebenza. It was a large regular which turned out to have a BG-42 blade. I still have it and would never part with it. I love the look of the insingo and will get one eventually.

I have some new lanyards en route. Waiting patiently.......
 
I find that I am overly cautious with this knife. To the point that I cup my hand over the pocket clip when the possibility of something scratching it comes near my pocket. I really need to accept the fact that it will be scratched and nicked eventually. Seriously loving this knife!

I wouldn't worry about the scratches too much, they will give the knife character over time IMHO. CRK can bring the scales and clip right back to new if you ever want to send it in as well. If I had to recommend a first Sebenza to anybody this would be the one, I think you made a great choice.
 
Well now that I have my small classic in mircarta, and finally got my Buck/Mayo TNT I think this will be my next purchase. I had one, and I want another.

You will get over that. I have some marks on the pocket clip of mine too. Just know that those marks only add character and after a few years of use and scratches, send it it to CRK for the spa treatment to make it new again. The real question is: Did you order a large yet? That is where it's at:)
 
The knife looks great, congrats. Sebenza means work, so get that bad boy out in the field and use it. It's begging you to.
