How about a Mnandi with a thumbstud ?

There was a special one-off run of them with wooden scales... THAT would be a find!
 
A Benchmade Valet is a very tempting knife but as much as I like the Axis lock I don't see it replacing the Mnandi in my pocket. I have considered trying to find a PJ small Sebenza because I hate the idea of damaging my Mnandi when I head outside to the gun club. I just don't want to beat up it up.
 
That's when you need a beater...
Something like a Chinese made Schrade.
You don't care what happens to it!

I keep buying knives to “ save my Mnandi”. I just can’t stop using the Mnandi. It really is my favorite knife of all time. I really just need to find the Damascus CF version of the Mnandi then I’ll have a spare!
 
That is one heck of a spare! 😁👍
I'm looking for a left-hand Box Elder version. It'll match my small Sebbie!

Really? I had high hopes for the new thumb hole but held back on buying one until I could confirm it functioned better than the indent on 5he old one. How would you compare the thumb hole to the second generation indent?

It works very, very well. I never owned a second generation Mnandi, but I owned several with the rounded nick that you weren't supposed to be able to open one handed, and I had one with the thumbhole for a good 10 months - no difficulties opening with one hand if you want to.

All Mnandi open very well with a simple thumb roll using the jumping on the blade spine.

I'm not a fan of the new through hole. The nail nick look really kept it looking like a "harmless" slipjoint to the non-knife crowd.

Anyone have their 2nd gen nail nick machined to be more like the old one? I guess it would probably ruin the heat treat, though.
