I know that the Zulu words for Sebenza and Umnumzaan mean worker and boss respectively but does anyone know the definition of Insingo? I don't know if its Zulu or not but was just curious. Thank you,

GOOGLE says from the Latin, meaning "to engrave" (verb) but not sure that makes much sense in the context of a blade shape.
 
It is Zulu, but is spelled insingo, and translates to razor according to google. Haven't owned one yet, but that blade style is next on the list!
 
Well, I guess it pays to look around the CRK site too. I just found this ...

Insingo Blade:
A Chris Reeve adaptation of the traditional Wharncliffe blade, the Insingo offers a strong and functional alternative to the utility blade of the Sebenza 21. Insingo is the Zulu word for razor – an inference to the straight cutting edge emulating a straight edge razor. Available as Large or Small Sebenza, left or right handed, the Insingo blade is available only with the plain and Micarta inlay handle and only with a tumble finish.
 
Thank you all - I should have picked up the Zulu definition of razor from the CRK website.
