Mnandi: My latest Obsession

I ruined my last one by trying to anodize it, I thought I could restart fresh with this one and not do that again. c:)
 
Ziricote Inlay, #187 of 200

So I just got bit by the mnandi want. I think I may have to get one ASAP in that ebony wood. I'm in love with it and I have been wanting a traditional style folder for some time now. And I have seen northwoods and the other similar knives. But I can't fully like them for some reason. But that mnandi though. I'm in love.
 
Hey guys, quick question. Do the Bocote inlays darken up a bit over time and use? When looking at pictures of some peoples bocote inlays here on the forum they look a bit darker than the ones I'm seeing for new bacote inlays on retail sites.

I'd imagine any wood would darken when hand oils soak in. The other thing to consider on the pics is that the dealers may have better lighting than some of us. I know my pics are crappy.
