I'm going to buy another sebenza. I've owned a 21 and an umnumzaan. And I currently own a regular large bg 42 sebenza. Been thinking about making my next one an insingo. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts and experiences with the insingo blade. This knife will be used for anything and everything. I appreciate any input or pictures.
 
They are just different blades.
I like more belly and a pointier tip. So I got the standard 21. If you already own a Lrg Regular, you have a good idea of how the 21 will perform.
Someone else will say why they like the Insignio.
Think of what and how you cut. You know best.
 
I've never owned a CRK, not because I don't want to. If I were to drop the cash right this moment, I'd go for the Insingo. I love the look of the whole knife and that is a great blade shape.
 
I own a 25, Lg 21, Lg Insingo, Sm 21, and Sm Insingo. Out of all of those knives, the Sm Insingo always finds its way into my pocket. Perfect size and it's a great utility blade shape
 
The Insingo really surprised me at how much and how fast I grew to love it…. either way, I'd give the Insingo a shot. If you don't just love it, I'm sure some BF member will take it off your hands!
 
Insingo fan here. I like the non sharpened part of the tip. It is very usefull in many EDC tasks, as spreading cheese on a piece of bread.
While I think the tip is realy strong it doesn't look intimidating.
hope this helps.

If you've already owned a 21 clip point and Umnum and now have a Regular then definitely the Insingo is a must. I actually chose the Insingo over the standard clip point 21 when I got my first CRK... zero regrets. I love that blade!!! Get an Insingo! :)
 
My vote goes to the small 21 Insingo--best overall EDC blade for me. I prefer the plain Jane version, but your tastes may vary.

Agreed! Can't be beat in my view! I've owned quite a few knives and I can't imagine a better EDC/utility blade!

+1 the Insingo blade shape is great and often very useful in daily tasks without looking intimidating. Given you have a regular I would go Insingo. I have a large Insingo and a 25. I find them to be a great match. Also, I have found that the Insingo is easy to sharpen on a SharpMaker or a Wicked Edge. Super sharp at all points along the edge.

Bottom line, you will get a great knife either way you choose.
 
Another vote for the Insingo blade shape. I don't like the Classic/21 profile very much at.

^Exactly. Blade is perfect for edc. Preferences will differ, but I've yet to find a task that I wouldn't choose the Insingo over the regular blade. Nice stout tip, great profile for all types of edc tasks and as some mentioned, if you can find a use for the swedge, you have that too. Can't go wrong either way, but the Insingo is where its at. Good luck
 
if you haven't experienced the wharncliff blade go for it!! its amazing
 
I've had a small insingo for a month. I find the shape more appealing than the standard, and the cutting edge profile to be very usefull for EDC and food prep.
 
I'm also looking to get an insingo. The blade shape resembles my chef knives so I'm wondering during If it's an easy shape to use.
