Mnandi: My latest Obsession

MAN, I almost just got infracted... apparently, I must have bumped up a previous sales post without knowing I did it. At least I got off with a warning. These mods are tough on here.

You have been warned about this in the past so really this should be a full infraction. Last chance to follow the rules"


It's true though...a little bumping does eventually lead to infracting ;)

Can lightning strike twice in one week....SURE CAN.....on a golf course in FL or AZ, and apparently in my back yard. Going to drive to a dealer friend that has a very hard to find piece hiding on his shelf (NIB) for 10 years...yep...10 years...holy crap! That's going to be a long 50 minute ride. Riddle, what's black, gold, with a little sparkle, and will be in my pocket in about 65 minutes?

Awesome! Pics for those of us living vicariously through you :D
 
I finally found the first Mnandi of the year for me, though I have come close on a couple of other occasions. The wait will be excruciating!

If it's a variety of wood you had previously, I think I know what it is! But ..... keep me in suspense.
 
Big E, where are you bro, we're still waiting. Can't believe how excited I am, show us the gold and black with the sparkle Big E.

I like it a lot but was expecting a damascus blade, it's still a sweet little precious and maybe one day you can dress her up in damascus:thumbup:. Black and gold is one of my favorite combinations, what's the wood on that baby?

Actually, I'll put the Damascus on my walnut first. Don't want it on this....love the contrast.

Ebony..straight up

You know what, your right it does look better the way it is with the stainless contrasting against the black gold and diamond scales. Temporary damascus insanity is what I just had:D

It's funny you did mention Damascus.....I held it in front of a couple of Damascus blades (as if it was attached), and it didn't look as nice. It's not as though we weren't thinking the same thing ;)
 
I've yet to find a nice feathery Lignum like Big_E and BlueSummers, so this one will have to do for now:

Love it Big_E, but I'm sure you've gathered that by now from all my PMs wanting to buy it! :D :p :D
 
Big E, Only Fine Knives had a very nice pure white ivory Mnandi last time I looked. It may be gone now, but you should check. They are a good dealer.
