Mnandi hord

[CPP]

Perhaps just how the light is reflecting off the edge makes them look that way...


Awesome collection Falco57 !

Looking at the picture again, I think you're right. I wanted to see a tanto Mnandi so badly I told myself I had... The third one up from the bottom is the recent CF version which further disproves my hope

The black and white crackled mammoth looks even better with the engraving. Wow.

That one has so much to love about it.

A wharncliffe mnandi is needed.

Impressive. That is certainly a collection to set goals for other collector's. It's also amazing to see some of the artistry and craftsmanship that takes place in the secondary market.

Anyone with enough money can amass a huge collection.

It takes humility, talent, and dedication to get to be on Alessio’s level. I always enjoy his posts, he is truly a master collector and has always given time to share his knowledge with anyone.

That's a collection for the ages that may well never be matched.

That is one stunning bunch of Mnandis. As time goes on, you really should post individual close-up shots of each knife with a short description of what the scales and type of Damascus are.

He showed many of the damascus ones here,

Now I can understand why Falco57 moved some of the other CRK's in his possession that I drooled over.
Stunning collection that may not be equaled ever.

Excellent Plus!

you can't hit us with this all at once....

I will never do... anymore :-(

 

[Falco57]

Wow! Beautiful collection. I love the Mnandi as well. Feel free to post more pics!

I will do, thanks

 

[Falco57]

Any giraffe bone amongst the hord?

yes there is

Are the four in the bottom left corner tantos?

they are not Tanto but perspective error

 

[Easyrider]

WOW! I am speechless.

 

[Falco57]

What a collection. The 4th mammoth from the top right is really a great example of mammoth bark. Thank you for sharing.

Let me say they are all awesome, it is a matter of taste

 

[Falco57]

Long live the Mnandi King! I think it is safe to say that there will never again be a focused CRK collection of this depth, showing nearly every example of a particular kind of knife. I am in awe, and I am very pleased to be the trustee of three of these knives for the future. All hail Alessio!

Thank you my friend!

It takes several years and some other knives (CRK and not) that were sold.
