Let's see your Camel Thorn!

Thanks to Ken Lunde for letting me know about this Camel Thorn Mnandi!
I snagged it a couple of days ago from Only Fine Knives.

Chris Reeve Mnandi with Camel Thorn inlays




I couldn't resist. :)
 
Thanks guys!

I think this the Camel Thorn CR uses. But, I could be wrong.

About 6 months ago TNK had a beautiful Camel Thorn Mnandi. It wasn't straight grained. It looked like if came from a Camel Thorn burl. I kept putting off buying it and then someone got it.

But, I really like this Mnandi. It looks even better in hand than in the photos. The blade is easy to open one handed. The movement is very smooth, like the ball on the lock is riding on a polished surface (which it likely is). I'm glad Ken let me know about it.

If anyone has pics of their Chris Reeve folders with Camel Thorn inlays I'd love to see them.
