Nice Dino!
Why Thank You Sir, it was actually Lisantica and that made this one possible for me by giving me a heads up and for that I will always be grateful.
I read your thread. I wanted to say Mnandi but I have never held one before. I was trying to decide if I wanted a small 21 but now I think if I get something it will be a Mnandi. I work in an office and I think that a Mnandi would get more carry time from me. Decisions decisions. I will handle one at Blade this year just as I did the 25 last year and a month later I had a 25 so we will see.Talk about throwing a monkey wrench into my decision for my first CRK. In a separate thread yesterday I asked which would make the better first CRK for me - a Small Sebenza or Mnandi. I'm a traditional guy. I have a couple modern folders but rarely use them. My daily carries look very much like the traditionals in this photo (except they're not custom-made as these are).
Just last night I decided to go with a small Sebenza for my first CRK. And now this photo. It's definitely making me reconsider purchasing the Mnandi.
Maybe I'll just sleep on the decision for a few days before pulling the trigger on a CRK.
I concur with Alessio, The Mnandi is the perfect knife for an office environment.
