New Small Sebenza 'Glorious' Insingo

Everything is perfect as far as lockup. I double checked with Heather at CRK and made sure that the front scale of the knives can be interchanged. As I figured the rear scale with the lockbar is married to the blade and the front scales are interchangeable.
 
Looks Awesome.........Nice to CRK is incorporating the popular Insingo with some CGG designs rather than just the plain blade.

Actually, CRK is not...it's got to be done by the owner either by purchasing the CGG scale separately or swapping from another knife.
 
I know CRK would sell a 'few' Insingos, lg. & small, if they'd offer a cgg option.......

I really like my large Insingo a lot. It doesn't get the poc,ket time it deserves tho.
 
That looks great!
I called CRK 2 weeks ago to inquire about buying both a large and small Glorious scale for my set of Insingo's, they told me that they go for $200 a piece for either size. Seemed a little steep to me for a single side until I took a good look at that pattern and realized how much work goes into producing it.
I definitely plan on getting one for my large Insingo after seeing how great your knife looks, thanks for sharing.

$200 each for a cgg scale seems like a little pricey for a scales that's still being made.

I got a nib large Cross Hair scale for my large reg for a bit less than $100 This was an extra scale the buyer sold me with a Metor Shower scale on the knife.
 
Sometimes the high purchase price of parts is to discourage forgeries and scams. If they would sell you a spare slab for $50, you could buy one of them chinese fakes, and maybe put them together, resell, and maybe make a $150 in profit if you were a rotten scammer. At $200 bucks for the scales its not worth it.

I wasn't thinking, didn't realize you just swapped presentation side scales.
 
Although I agree that $200 a slab is expensive I'm not put off by it considering the amount of work that goes into this particular CGG.
I understand that most of the work is done by machine but those machines are VERY expensive to purchase and maintain, then there's the time spent by a CRK employee who I'm assuming is paid well to keep up such an eye for detail who has to mask the pattern and blast the low spots. It doesn't sound like much but I can see how it'd get expensive quick if you want it to show up at your door perfect everytime.
AND
If they were $40 all of us CRK collectors would have complete sets by the year ;D
