Whewww (Whistling through my teeth with my hands on my hips and my cowboy hat on) Those there are some fine pieces of craftsmanship mister! I love the Rinkhals, it's such a sexy design. You have them both in my favorite option too, plain warthog tusk. That's what I wanted for months on my Imamba while I was waiting for them to get done, but they sold too quick and I got the dyed warthog tusk instead. Still an amazing knife. They make some really nice pieces of art. Thanks for the insight my friend!I can't really answer that with any certainty. Maybe some of the newer ones are following the same trend as the Mnandis and will have the hole instead of the typical nail nick. Maybe the Damascus ones will have holes? I can say that I like the hole in the Rinkhals more than I did on the Mnandis. Being a slipjoint, I can get a very good purchase on the blade to open it with the hole design.
