OK, I said I'd never sell this one, but financial pressures are requiring it. That said, I may reconsider at any point before
someone says "I'll take it." Just an FYI.
The story: This is a CRK Mnandi with mammoth ivory inner cut scales. The scales were so hard to get perfect that I had to
wait a 1/2 year for CRK to find just the right ones. As you can see, it also has zebra damascus.
Once it arrived, I sent it to Lori Ristinen who is one of the best scrimshanders in the business (her current
wait time is 1.5 yrs+). I sketched out my idea of a cheetah in chase. I wanted her to blend the scrimmed zebras with
the zebra damascus, which as you can see she did perfectly. BTW, here's a thread when I first got the knife. Check it out.

The knife is one-of-kind and of course top notch quality since it is from CRK. It is brand new, never used, never carried (I
couldn't bring myself to use it!). It comes with all papers, pouch, wrench, box, etc. Asking $2000 $1950 $1700 $1650 $1575. $1200
$1150 $1100 $999 WITHDRAWN
First "I'll take it" in this thread or in email gets the knife. I take PayPal and Money Orders. Insured shipping is $15. CONUS shipping
only, please. No Paypal holds. Payment within 24 hrs of saying you'll take it, or other arrangements negotiated with me.
Here are some rather large pictures. I purposely made them large so that you could fully appreciate the intricate
scrimshaw and what a wonderful knife this is.
