Have had it for four days now, and am I glad I got this knife(small). I almost decided not to get it because I already have a large and small Regular and reasoned (What do I need another "work" knife for?). However my liking for Wharncliffe won out. :D

Glad #1. The handle shape of the Classic, I really like, plain and simple, but feels great in hand.
Glad #2. The Wharncliffe blade is beautifully done, it's different than any I've seen. The swedge just pulls it together, it's perfectly ground. That swedge lets the skill of the makers show.:)

Yes, it cuts well, the edge is ground to the same thickness from the start to
tip. One thing I require with my small knives, that they are good apple slicers, and the Insingo is. I cut with it till it started dulling a little then polished the edge on my cardboard wheel and it's right back.

The finish on my Insingo shines more than my others, darn if they may bring the finish to a near polish before they stonewash.

Very little break in involved here, came out of the box smooth and low drag.
The perforeted washers I wonder, do this? It was easy to open and unlock. I recall more work with my others.

Look at the attention to detail at the screw heads.

Yeah I agree the Insingo is a beautiful thing.its all the little details that make it shine.
 
You know, I like this other blade shape thing. I'm thinking a Spear Point with a small tasteful swedge would be nice.
 
Congrats on a fine knife!

That Small Regular has had some serious work done on the blade. Could you tell any more?
 
My favorite Sebenza is the Large Insingo. Mine now has double thumb lugs and silver furniture (as opposed to blue anodized), which were done at the factory after receiving the knife from Knife Art.

Me too, it's my fav and it looks awesome.

Not a big fan of the blue anno myself.
