Tanto Inkosi Question

[MrStabby7]

Is the blade on a tanto Inkosi just a bit shorter than a drop point or insingo?

The tanto on the small inkosi is about 5mm shorter than the drop point

Perspective and alignment isn't perfect, but this should illustrate in a non-exact way. These are LARGE. Note that the top is S45 and the bottom S35 if you think that makes any difference...

Woah. Is this true for the 21/31 as well?

OK so I looked it up and I could not find different specifications on the CRK website for different blade shapes on the Inkosi, they only have one product page for the Inkosi, kind of weird honestly. However, they do list different overall length specs for the Sebenza on the separate product pages for each blade profile. I put together this table:

	Drop	Tanto	Insingo
Large 31	213.36mm	212.01mm	213.20mm
Small 31	177.29mm	174.27mm	177.29mm

So to answer my own question, yes, the Tanto blade is shorter and it is shorter by a different ratio on the large than the small: 3.02mm shorter on a small Sebenza and 1.35mm shorter on the large.

Another notable curiosity: the small Insingo is apparently the same length as the small drop point but the large Insingo is a fraction of a millimeter shorter?

It is a little shorter but yeah it doesn't matter to me just curious if my mind was playing tricks on me.

Really like that drop point in natural micarta I'm gonna have to get one but I think I'll wait for a magnacut one.
