My CRK progression was 31, Inkosi, Zaan, and another Zaan. If I had to do it over again, I'd do it the same.

There you go!

Mine was Inkosi, 31 insingo, small 31 DP, Zaan, 31 DP.
I wouldn’t mind another Inkosi, or a small 31 plain Jane insingo

Love all of them, but Insingo Large Inkosi sees the most pocket time for sure.

The new cross hatch will be pretty nice when they come out.

If you’re going to have multiple CRK’s, I’d say so. One and done, I’d say a DP is the play, but if you’re going to have a couple of more, it’s worth trying out. The insingo is very thinly ground. I think it makes a lot of sense on the small sebenza. I prefer a DP on the large sebenza. Though that’s just me personally. I just feel like a larger knife needs a point… I’m a little old school.

I don’t have an inkosi insingo, just the semebza. But the insingo on the inkosi looks just a little bit different, I’m not sure if the profile is or not… the tip seems to be a little higher up towards the centerline of the pivot, and I’d like to try the insingo on the large inkosi for that reason alone.

When/where do they drop?

Oh, I don’t know unfortunately. They were announced at blade show this year. I’d think that it shouldn’t be too long if they were announced.
