Koa. That is all...

[TRfromMT]

Let's see 'em. Post 'em if you would, please, and help out those of us less fortunate ones. Have a heart. Please. Don't make us beg...

Ya- what he said, please.

Here you go! What really impressed me was the way that the grain disappears and reappears under bright light when tilting the knife back and forth slowly. Very cool for my first Mnandi and it was my only score at Blade

 

[TRfromMT]

Gorgeous!

Amazing grain with a perfect match on both sides. I'm thinking those are extremely limited. Does the birth card indicate the numbers?

For your only score at Blade, you done good!

Thanks! From what I gathered there were only 25 made and 5 of those were left-hand models. Out of the 20 right-hand models some were damascus, so I don't know exactly how many there are like mine in the wild, but obviously not many.

I was thinking that there were 25 Large, 25 Small, and 25 Mnandi. Within that 75, I think there were 27 Damascus ones (9 each for Large, Small, Mnandi).
I could be off on this but I wrote it down from somewhere.

And that's probably all there will ever be so those few are extremely rare items.

That's what the CRK press release said, 25 each.. Lg, SM, Mnandi....

That Koa is absolutely beautiful! What an honor it would be to have one of those!

Like the PME's of last year, what you see is what there are. Instant collectibles.

I will try to remember to photograph my Mnandi. I picked up a basket weave lefty. Funny, I wanted a lefty custom knife but ended up leaving with a lefty CRK and very happy I did.

No Sir, that’s a Classic sebenza with Curly Maple inlay

It's interesting to see the difference in the machining on the 2 knifes. Great photo! Thanks

Got a small Seb left hand KOA....was my first CRK I ever bought. Went back an hour later and bought a Bog Wood If I remember correctly to carry.

Will try to grab some pics.

Yea please post pics. Congrats on the scores. Been wanting a bog oak myself. Something about the ancient wood intrigues me. Like the Koa wood look too, at least the few I’ve seen posted.
