Mnandi: My latest Obsession

Beautiful! I have a Mandi in all 3 types of mammoth. The bark, the the initial interior (just behind the bark) that is stained the striated solid color of coffee with cream in it, and the the very interior of the tusk that creamy white. As white as a fossilize tusk can be. Rivals the interior of modern elephant tusk but usually is even whiter that that.
I have a couple of mammoth bark small sebenza's (one with double gold anodized lugs and another that is it's closest twin but with only a single lug.
My goal is to at least get one trifecta where I have a Mnandi, this small sebenza, and a large sebenza. 'All with matching mammoth.
 
Show us some the Mammoth, pictures please.

Since Cajun Blade got the ball rolling with that beautiful engraved Mammoth .... figured I would add my number 1 favorite Mnandi (yes, this is my absolute favorite!). A friend had it engraved for me mid-last year. Makes this particular mesquite Mnandi even more majestic!

As what I have said before, this is an absolute grail for me. Please get me on the list if ever... I know you said you will never let this one go, but it won't hurt if I tried getting on that list... lol

If I can suggest you, I would make a call to CRK before they finish all the mammoth bark and ask if you can order a trifecta. They did in the past

I succeded in this trifecta but I was lucky enough to pick them in three different shop

Ever so often I look back on some of these knife porn pages... Fooj when you die, remember, I am the long lost child of your 3rd cousin via Falco and somewhere Lone_Wolf is in our linage also. So I should inherit something... Right? Please?

Really? I did not know that was possible! I am on an extended trip to Eastern Europe. I am presently in Ukraine. (I did just happen upon a couple of Shirogorov's while I was in the neighborhood. No offense to all of my CRK knife brothers. I have not defected! I just could not resist at half the price.:angel:) I will check with the Mother Ship in Boise to see what I can do to complete at least one of my trifecta's.

Thanks for the heads up my Italian friend!
