Beautiful Honduran Rosewood Lisa. Clearly one of the finest I've seen. Congratulations!!
There seems to be no end to the character and variation of that wood. :)

Thank you DH. I must admit, I made the purchase after seeing your two fine examples!

Thank you Lisa. I appreciate knowing that, on the rare occasion, I do something right here......
I think you got the pick of the litter in that one! Good for You! :thumbup:
 
I'm not sure I've caught the obsession, but I backed my way into a Bloodwood Mnandi. I had actually purchased a folder from another maker, but it wasn't finished very well so I sent it back. The dealer I bought it from didn't have a direct replacement for it so I had to select another knife or pay a refund/restocking fee. After a lot of deliberation, I selected the Mnandi. It should be here next week.

Mnandis are just a wee bit small for my taste (I actually prefer the size of the Small Sebenza), but I'm sure I'll get used to it. And I love the fact that it only weighs 1.5 ounces. It should fit right in to my EDC rotation.
 
Here's a Gabon Ebony I couldn't resist due to its affordable pricing on the exchange:

Time to fill in the blank. "You know you are a Mnandi-holic when ___________?"

Hmmm ..... your name is lisantica. Or maybe ..... you buy another Mnandi because the price was too good to pass up. Wait a minute, those could be one and the same!!!! I love it!

Your not implying that Lisa is a CRK-holic are you...??? :D I think most of US are that have been here for awhile...!!!
 
My newest Mnandi was sent to me by my good friend MasterSerg...it is a Bocote with a very nice linear grain pattern and a beautiful deep gold color. I think it is a perfect compliment to my dark green LV and my deep red Honduran and I am very excited :)

I always enjoy seeing this thread bumped to the top as it usually means Mnandi have found new homes.
Nice trio you have there SaddleSC! :thumbup:

She looks right at home with those two beauties! Each one is very distinctive.
