So I finally broke down and pulled the trigger on a sebenza. I have a small insingo arriving today. I'm going out of my skin waiting for it to get here, I'm so excited. This knife has been a grail knife for a while now, and I finally had enough to afford it. Can't wait to get this knife in my hands!
 
USPS traking is not so good. This morning my package was listed as being in Salt Lake City. Just checked again and it is, "out for delivery." I live in Michigan...
 
Congrats the wait is a killer but once you get it you will want another and the wait starts again. :D
 
I hear you. As it happens, I have two small starbenzas in the mail to me, expecting delivery today. Haha, as I was typing this, there was a knock on the door, they're here!

Small Insingo, excellent choice! :thumbup: :thumbup:
You're really gonna like it...
 
It came! I was preparing myself for the underwhelming feeling that people sometimes report, and was ready to carry for a couple weeks before making a judgment, but damn if that underwhelming feeling never came! Everything about it just seems so solid, but in a slim, light package. I'm glad that I went with the small rather than the large (I have smaller hands). This is definitely going to push my Ritter Mini-Grip out of my pocket for a while.

I'm not super wild about the lanyard and want to remove it, but I hear that the tie bar rattles without it. How hard is it to disassemble the knife and put it back together? I'm relatively good at that sort of thing, but am certainly no expert and I don't want to mess anything up.

I also wouldn't mind running some paracord through there and making a simpler, basic loop lanyard if that would stop the rattling. Is it possible to pull the lanyard out and run a new one through without taking the knife apart?

In any case, I am loving this knife on first blush. I am really looking forward to carrying it.
 
Take the lanyard and the pin out, then run your own lanyard through the hole in the scales. There's a bit of a learning curve to disassembly/reassembly, just be systematic about it and you will be fine.

Congrats on your insingo. Truly my favorite edc. But I still give my custom scaled Ritter a little pocket time.
 
I'd recommend not untying the lanyard, but taking the knife apart and taking the pin and lanyard out intact.
I tie a paracord lanyard around the spacer right behind where the pin was. It's far enough away from the tip that it won't fray like the lanyard it came with.
It's a breeze to take it apart, just be careful to remember which bronze washer goes on which side if you remove them. That shouldn't be necessary if you're just removing the lanyard, though.
 
Phew... Knife disassembled, tie taken out, knife put back together. It wasn't too bad. Getting it back together was a little hairy at the end, but all good now.

I see the logic in leaving the lanyard in the tie, it'll help with not losing the damn tiny little thing.
 
I have a small 21 showing up tomorrow, my grail knife as well. Been high on the wish list for over a year! Very excite. Now I want an Insingo! Baaaaaaaaah...

...and yeah, usps tracking is notoriously poor!
