I didn't think it was "similar" enough. It's much closer to an actual sheepsfoot than the ones I put in the image. Plus, poor Mitch... 🤣

Blues is there a difference between Inkosi Insingo and Sebenza Insingo blade?

The Insingo is a tad shorter and not as tall. A little flatter in the hollow grind as well. Love 'em both.
Quiet said:
That there is a Sebenza "Glorious", and the obscene level of jealousy I have for Blues Blues for having one would make the Sun blush! 🤬🤬🤣

Those are absolutely unobtainium, and that's no mistake.

Got that through a member here years ago. I love it for all the obvious reasons.

I said it before, if you have ever had a ZT0640, the MK3 is somehow even smoother on washers. And if you have an MK3, the ZT0640 is definitely worth picking up, the action is almost identically on par with the MK3.

Agreed that the ZT 640 is smooth, I’ve had 2 and yes the MK3 is even smoother, by A LOT!! The 640 is one of the best ZT ever made. I will say that my 620 is the smoothest ZT though, hard to believe they made an absolute TANK so smooth with perfect lockup, perfect centering and zero lock stick. I know it’s a LG thread but since you mentioned ZT, here’s the 620, 630, 640 and 850 for the hell of it.

I'll give you that that first run of satin finish fuller handles is exceptionally smooth. I foolishly let mine go, but the gap between my various 06xx ZTs and the MK3s is not that much.
Edit to add: congrats on that 0640! Not many of those out there! Took me a minute to find one. It is one of my grail ZTs as I'm a blackwash junkie!
 
Ended up trading my PJ VECP for a full size SHF with the Octaburst pattern. Never had a Spartan and this has been one of my favorite configurations of them since I discovered it so when a LNIB one was offered up for trade I couldn't resist. Supposed to be here Friday. I fondled one briefly in a retail store one time and liked it enough to want to spend more time with one.
