Small Insingo or small Sebenza with a standard blade?

I've had an insingo for about a month now, and I'm absolutely in love with it. I can't really speak for the regular, never tried one. Really, in function there's probably no difference. It just comes down to which one you think looks better
 
Edge/blade geometry definitely affects the cutting performance between the two. Whether or not this performance difference is significant enough for you as aesthetics (and what catches your eye more)... that's up to you. I say go with what you like.
 
Once you buy wich ever one you chose and love it you'll also want the other!
Buy both:D
 
I have owned approx 14 Sebbies. Only one was an Insingo. Very nice but strange blade profile IMO.
 
I have both blade styles and carry/use my Insingo much more. The blade shape just seems to work better for what I use it for.
 
I don't like the looks of the Insingo as much as I like the looks of the standard, drop point Seb. However, from a functional perspective, I would probably choose the Insingo for the blade shape that I would get. It just seems to lend itself to more everyday cutting styles, rather than piercing cuts.
 
The Insingo blade definitely gets more points for its cool factor because there's nothing like it.
And as far as functionality, it performs just as well, if not better, than the standard blade shape.
 
I have been using my small Insingo daily since it arrived two weeks ago. For everyday random cutting tasks the blade is outstanding for anything short of field dressing an animal, where the regular blade would have the advantage.. which doesn't come up much at the office..
 
If I'm carrying something bigger than a Swiss Army Knife, it's guaranteed to be a small Insingo.

I went with the Insingo and I'm loving it. I like the stronger tip and enjoy the looks as well.
 
If the blade-shape doesn't already 'speak' to you, maybe just wait a bit longer until it does. It's a spendy knife; best to be sure. ;)

But for what my opinion's worth, I don't think you can go too far wrong with either. Pick the one you like best! :thumbup:
 
I picked up a small Wilson Combat Sebenza a couple of weeks ago to replace a custom in my pocket. I have grown to really like the Sebenza; it is a very solid knife that is very precisely constructed.

There are plenty of great knives out there but a sebenza is an excellent EDC especially if you are looking for a slicer instead of a sharpened prybar type of knife.

The nice thing is that you can get a Sebenza and if you don't like it you can generally sell them with little to no real money loss.
 
For a main EDC knife, I love an edge profile like the Insingo has, with an edge-forward tip and a slight curve. My favorite EDCs (past and present) were the Benchmade 940, Kershaw Leek, Microtech LCC, and Spyderco Caly 3. I don't want or need a lot of curve, and I especially don't like a big belly towards the tip. I don't own a Sebenza (I don't like frame locks, nor do I carry a "modern" folder much anymore), but if I did, it'd be an Insingo with micarta inserts. But if I were to spend that much, I'd probably get a ZT 777 instead - although I'd probably want to get an Insingo as well so I don't beat up the 777.
 
Standard Blade shape.
This is a good way to start your affiliation with CRK.
Insingo is advanced. ;)
