Alright my fellow CRK fans, here is my new Mnandi.

This baby took 1.5 years to finish, but she's more than worth it. For those who are interested, the scrimshander was Lori Ristinen.
She did a superb job of interpreting my scribbles and turning them into something truly awe inspiring. I would highly recommend her!

Many thanks to Heather and the folks at CRK for putting up with me and searching for the "perfect piece of ivory."
All in all, it was a very cool project!

That definitely ranks as #1 for the best Mnandi I've ever seen. What a great idea and the execution is perfect. The way the damascus strips flow into the Zebra scrimshaw was a great idea.

that is definitely one of the most beautiful knives i have ever seen. congratulations!

with that be your new edc? hehe, j/k. :)
 
That is THE most beautiful Mnandi I have EVER seen!! I LOVE it!! That just takes my breathe away!!
 
The first Mnandi I ever saw was damascus and mastodon. This one finally blows that one away. Absolutely museum-quality work. Congratulations on putting the project together!
 
Send a picture to Anne Reeve, she will be floored; might even put it on the website!

Congrats on such an outstanding piece!

I've been looking to the pictures of your Mnandi for a few minutes, and could almost not believe it was real. Almost too beautiful to be true. Certainly the most beautiful mnandi i've ever seen. If not the most beautiful folder.
Congratulations, you have got a real good inspiration and taste.

Are you planning to (sometimes) carry/use this knife? It definitely looks like it could be put in a museum to be admired for the rest of its life.
 
Very nice how the bolster striping blends into the blade pattern!

Amazing piece!
