Some Mnandi and Umfaan were sold to obtain others, (usually large Sebenzas). These are what remain and no others in route:

Well I figured it was a good time to showcase the collection since some folks had asked to see photos and the fact that my collection is at a standstill.
Now the decision of whether or not to pare down, keep it as is, or forge ahead....a three tined fork in the road.
 
I'd love to have that Mnandi in the upper right corner ...

...and the one in the middle row on the left...

and...:D

Thanks BBQ BOY, that is a difficult one to photograph. Here's one of the best shots I got of it, hard to make the blue star sapphire show up....but it was the blued damascus
that I MOST wanted:

Great stuff as usual! Is that an Ebony and Ivory pair in the bottom left and middle? Both with damascus! Sweet! (A Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson duet!).

Yes, two on the bottom row have Ebony and damascus as seen here, but the middle one was sold, still have zebra and snakeskin damascus:

I don't think I've taken a proper photo of the Ivory yet, here's the photo from TNK:

Wow! Really nice! I especially love the ebony with zebra damascus. Simply stunning. Thanks for the additional pictures.
 
Snakeskin and Zebra Damascus are two of my favorites; wish CRK still offered these.
Beautiful collection.
 
You most certainly have an amazing collection of Chris Reeve folders !!!

Thanks for the pics Lisa:thumbup:
 
Thanks all for the comments. As I mentioned before, it was a labor of love collecting these.
 
Very nice! It looks like you are storing them in a Tomway box. Another very classy choice. Where did you find all the umfaans?
 
Mad_Maxx one Umfaan might be sold, just can't decide which one yet.
FoldersForever, Tomway it is, good eye!
 
Smaller .... but no less stunning! It was that Ivory/V&R Damascus that taught me my most important lesson. If I see something I really, deep down, feel I want ... don't hesitate ... just drop the hammer! I saw it right after TNK posted the new arrivals. Wanted it .... the reasoning side of me said ... let's think about it for a little while we examine the want vs need thing. In a blink of an eye .... it was gone. You were smiling and I was shedding a tear! And that's how it goes in the collectable CRK world!
