Just got my first Mnandi with Snakewood inlays from GP Knives (www.gpknives.com). Ordered yesterday, here today, even with standard UPS ground. Great service.

First impressions - wow, feels like refined perfection. Just a perfect little knife. Inlays are perfect and beautiful. First time I have seen snakewood, very nice. Knife is smooth as silk. Elegant. This is definitely a keeper.

CRK forgot to include the calfskin pouch, but they and GP Knives took care of it immediately. I'm not going to carry this until it arrives, don't want to mar the great wood finish.

Will fit in a lot better with my dress clothes than my Emerson CQC mini-15 or Umnumzaan. :-)

Because we all love pictures of beautiful knives......

That one is a Sweetheart

Put it in your shirt pocket next to your pen, Thats how I use to do it

Great choice of wood
 
The Mnandi is a great little knife. That's a nice one you have there. Enjoy!
 
I actually had your knife in my hand the day it arrived at the store. I'm lucky enough to live 30 min. from the store. It truly is a beauty. I would have bought it if I didn't just buy a walnut Mnandi, plus I'm holding out for a box elder with spiropgraph damascus.
 
I called CRK about how long the wait would be for a Spirograph Damascus Mnandi. 12 months on Damascus. Ouch. Couldn't wait that long, and glad I didn't.
 
Congrats!!! my first one too... Lignum... definitely a keeper.
