Mnandi: BHQ Exclusive Carbon Fiber & Devin Thomas Basketweave Damascus - TRADED
Pics (Including Verification Pic)
Carried and lightly used. Original factory edge. Comes in original box, as shown. Most notable imperfections are the micro scratches on the polished titanium, voids in the carbon fiber mostly on the lock side, and micro scratches on the blade which are visible from certain angles if you're looking for them.
This extremely rare and collectible mnandi offers the ideal balance between safe queen and safe to carry. As a long-time collector, I now prefer knives that have a little character such as this one. So, you can toss it in a case and admire it for its beauty as a functional object. But, should you desire to toss it into your pocket to have it on-hand to use and admire, well that's also an option!
Price is firm. Although I'm typically one to haggle, I won't be doing so on this piece. With scalpers asking for (and getting) upwards of $1200 for current plain jane mnandis like the elforyn and BHQ cf, I think my asking is very reasonable, if not on the low-end, for this rare, beautiful, and discontinued model. Thanks for looking and best of luck landing it before someone else does!
Chris Reeve Knives DLT Exclusive Small Sebenza 31: Elforyn Inlay, Magnacut Drop Point w/ Factory Silver HW - $OLD
Pics (Including Verification Pic)
No cut, no carry. Comes in original box as shown. Sent back to CRK for silver stud, lanyard pin, and backspacer. Comes with original gold lanyard pin and backspacer. This one has such a gorgeous white inlay it really reminds me of a classic hot rod.
Mnandi: Black Micarta Magnacut - $OLD
Pics (Including Verification Pic)
No cut, no carry. Comes in original box as shown.
For your consideration is one of the most rare mnandi every produced. While being considered the ultimate gentleman's folder, this specific mnandi has a bit of a mean streak. Unlike nearly all other mnandi, this one doesn't "bling." There are no polished flats. No shiny clip. No polished blade to scratch. Instead, the blasted handles offer a kind of silky depth that plays beautifully against the somewhat rough, organic, character of the micarta inlays. And once those micarta handles begin to darken, watch out, this is going to go to a whole 'nother level of awesome. And let's not forget the blade made of the venerable magnacut finished in a matte stonewash that not only fits this knife's character, but will hide use better than a standard polished blade. No need to baby this mnandi!
