Mondays SUCK but Mnandi's DO NOT!

That is stunning ... what is the deal with the fancily engraved Mnandis? Are they limited releases? What are they called and do they still make them?
New to Mnandis so please forgive my noobishness ...

The engraving is an aftermarket touch.

Didn’t know there were old nail nicks with new style pivots out there. I’ve seen new style nail nicks with old style pivots though.

If you saw that combo, it was a franken. The pivot was changed well before the nail nick was.

The transition is detailed here,

I was lucky to snag one in desert ironwood years ago. The ironwood isn’t much to write home about, but it’s ironwood nonetheless.

Ok, so I’m either very late for the past Mnandi Monday or very early for the next one, but...I figured pics are always welcome.
