This is a very special, extremely rare Chris Reeve Knives Mnandi. It is dated July 10, 2007, has S30V steel, and titanium handle with bocote inlay. The frame lock operates smoothly with solid lockup.

This knife has a "unique nail nick" with a ridge in the center of the nail nick. This knife is so rare, that I can't find much information about it. I bought this knife from a dealer, who acquired and was selling it as new in 2011. When I attempted to research this unique knife, the only information I could find indicated that it may have been a True North Knives exclusive that was only produced in 2007. I haven't seen another one like this, or found anyone else who has.

This knife has some very slight handling marks being almost 18 years old, but it is in excellent condition and has never been carried or used to cut. It has been kept as an oddity in my collection since new, and has only been occasionally handled. When I received this knife, it had tiny hairline cracks in the original bocote inlays. I immediately sent it back to Chris Reeve where they replaced the inlays with new bocote inlays, which are in perfect condition.

If you're a CRK collector, here's a rare specimen for you. See the pics for condition and please ask if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking!
