This is real anticipation!!

And I did 'Anticipate' these properly, but still had to have them in my hands to really know they were mine.

Well done, congrats on the great find and the most riviting non-sales thread I've ever taken part of.

They are! Dead mint, both of them! As I said in the other thread, I must have built up some real good karma to land these!

Look at the back on this beaut, it's got more figure than the front!

That's amazing, you have very good karma indeed.

Is the "Idaho Made" bronzed? It looks like it in the picture, if it is, that is very cool.

Thank you, and thanks for making this fun for me too.

Here's another that got here last week, my second Morning Sun. This one has moore intense color, and Citrine instead of Almandine cabachon. Overall gives this on a happier feel, I don't know any other way to explain it.

It's gold ano'ed, to match the thumbstud. Serious attention to detail here on these knives.

Yeah I agree, you have very good taste; I love seeing your blades girl, it blows my mind how many cool ones you have; did you rearrange that table yet? I can't wait to see it now.

I really thought I'd used it all up with these and the Morning Sun, but the email I got a few hours ago proves that wrong. Inbound Camel Thorn Mnandi.....

I think I need a bigger table.

Certainly looks like it :cupcake: Good for you!

Dang! That would be awesome. And that Mnandi sounds very fancy, I've never heard of it before.

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

Congrats!

Thank you!

Where's the pic? By the way, I was looking at this thread on my phone and it wouldn't respond, so I logged in on my laptop and after looking at the pictures on the big screen, it boggles my mind they are so freaking awesome! CRK does an amazing job, don't they? Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it. Now I'm lusting...

Congrats LW! Gorgeous/Beautiful knives!!!

Thanks for the pic, I had no idea there is a tree called Camel Thorn; it is a very rare kind of wood, google here I go... Vachellia erioloba, from South Africa, etc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vachellia_erioloba

I googled the name, and in "images" there is a Mnandi with it, of course; who else would use it in a knife?

Thank you! Now someone needs to ban me from all knife buying! Between CRK's and an expensive piece of jewelry I just bought, I need to go rob more than ebay!

Wow, that's an evil looking tree! It reminds me a lot of Mesquite trees in Arizona, where the knife in this thread is from. I'm not at all surprised the Chris used this, it being from Africa and all.
