Hi guys. I'm thinking of getting both the Small Sebenza and the Mnandi, but it will take some time to save up for both. As result, I'm wondering which one to get first. The question I have is how does the Mnandi stack up to the Sm Sebenza? Size-wise, they are pretty close and appear have the same lock, so I'm at a loss as to how much tougher is one over the other.I know blade-shape is different as well. This will be an EDC and won't be expected to do anything to excess barring an emergency. While it will be carried at work, I've got a Spyderco D'Allara for heavy jobs+a multi-tool. While I really want a Sebenza, as it pretty much is the measuring stick that other knives are measured, there's something about the Mnandi that keeps on calling me...By chance, would anyone have a comparison shot of the two?Thanks very much.
 
Sebenza fills the hand better.

I'm not sure any of us can say, a seb _seems_ more stout and I prefer it's feel over the Mnandi. But for normal use the Mnandi is plenty strong.
 
The Mnandi is a tough little knife, but it is significantly smaller and thinner than the small Sebenza. The small Sebbie is very tough. If you're going to be using this knife in an office environment, I would unhesitatingly recommend the Mnandi. If you'll use it for heavier kinds of tasks, I would go with the Sebenza.
