[lisantica]

Franz reminded me it's that cool one I missed out on, crying in my beer!

I'm confused, you just told me you got the cocobolo/raindrop. You snagged it after I decimated the FS thread of UG Sebs.

Ok, I have a sweet Mnandi on the way, and Lisa has a sweet Mnandi on the way but they are sort of in different leagues.

Oh, they're both in the league of the beautiful!

 

[franzdom]

Yes I take that back, they are both stunning, rare, and beautiful, and I already miss all of the knives I mailed out today.

Have no fear, those Sebs are on their way to a loving home, they'll have plenty of friends, frequent admiration, an easy life, a warm SAFE place to sleep at night.............

And, courtesy of my camera, you can 'visit; them anytime you want.

Well after spending the better part of last night and today looking through this thread and drooling all over a series of devices I decided I had to purchase a Mnandi.
Looked at all the dealers but nothing really caught my eye. I also emailed CRK and inquired about something very specific, but was down thinking about 3-5 months of wait time to receive a Mnandi of my own that I could add to this thread.
Thanks to Big-E I'll hopefully have the right Mnandi to start my collection in the next few days.
Thanks Eric! and thank you to all of you and your beautiful collections and photographs!

Cheers

ANY Mnandi is the right Mnandi! :thumbup:

Box Elder?

You're good! Yes, it's Box Elder burl. A very pretty, and very sturdy wood.

That was a great purchase! Congrats, it's a beauty!

Thanks Lisantica,

your collection and your video of your top 6 pushed me over the edge.
Now the trick is to not just buy 10 today.
This thread has the potential to hurt my Paypal account

Cheers

Now the trick is to not just buy 10 today.

Good luck with that
But in all seriousness, that's a beauty, I hope you're pleased with it, we'll want to know at least I know I will.

Awesome Dino!

 

[lisantica]

Nice dinokay!

 

[Maprik]

Wow! Dino, I love the colors in that. Is it still considered Box Elder or something more special?

 

[dinokay]

This is a Box Elder and I've been looking for one with the red in it for a long time. First time I saw a Box Elder with the red colors was when I visited knife center way back and I knew someday.
