I like the Sebenza Insingo better. Has a great height and I think better lines.Makes me wish that I 1) had heard of CRK earlier, or 2) had a time machine!
I have a question for the CRK hive here, maybe it warrants a new thread:
Those of us who have come to love the insingo blade shape; do you prefer the Inkosi or the Sebenza - and yes they are slightly different.
I’ve been trying out Cherry Balmz gun grease in knives as I go. I like it so far, but I still keep some tubes of fluro grease on hand just in case.When you disassemble, clean and lube your CRK’s, do you go back together with the factory lube or do you find another product preferable?
Thats pretty neat. I didn’t realize that tanto Sebenzas existed back then. Then again, I was in my early teens.Here’s a few more that I missed- each from March 2000 issue. View attachment 2342478

(Only have had a large 31 Insingo and small 21 Insingo...so cannot vote based upon having not owned each model Insingo.)
I gave up such idealism following a career in public service. I'm happy to be disabused of my notions.Well it certainly wasn't meant to be popcorn worthy, just a random CRK musing for us die hards. I would hope we tend to be more civilized than others ... hope.

I completely agree.I like the Sebenza Insingo better. Has a great height and I think better lines.
All factory all the time for me.When you disassemble, clean and lube your CRK’s, do you go back together with the factory lube or do you find another product preferable?
This is like being held in the Lubyanka and being forced to confess to everything being your favorite.I completely agree.
So I'm fickle, is that what you’re saying?This is like being held in the Lubyanka and being forced to confess to everything being your favorite.
"So, Inkosi is your favorite, da?"
"Yes."
"Insingo is your favorite, da?"
"Yes"
"But Inkosi Insingo is not favorite, da?"
"Yes"
"So, they are all favorite, no?"
"Yes"
"Wha is this Umnumazaan you speak of? Some sort of disinformation program from the west?"
"Yes"
"We are done with this Amerikanski. I think thirty years of beets will soften him up."
"Yes."
Ain’t we all!!So I'm fickle, is that what you’re saying?![]()
That's not the first word that came to mind.So I'm fickle, is that what you’re saying?![]()
Not the knives...Does that mean you still hate them all Blues?
Guilty as charged. I had everything as far as my knife needs more than covered with my Bucks. Of my three favorites, one is a collectible, one is irreplaceable, so only one gets carried regularly. Even so, they were all I needed, in spite of my Kershaws and a bunch of cheapies and other not-so-cheapies. I was content, I had nothing more on my list, except for maybe a nice gentleman knife in titanium and wood grain inlays. And now here I am, about to become three deep in CRKs. Will this madness never end.Ain’t we all!!
