Mnandi: My latest Obsession

[sk8n]

I received these 2 Mnandi's in the mail today; An African Blackwood inlay & a Box Elder Inlay.

I've been buying Chris Reeve knives for sometime now, but these are the first Mnandi's - What a Knife!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, you're off to a great start!

Very good start! Congrats

My Mnandi Collection... so far

BTW two new Mnandis are coming

I just don't know Alex .... that Mnandi drawer of yours is getting pretty crowded .... and you are going to squeeze two more in there!!! You are well on your way to becoming the Mnandi/CRK king of Italy my friend!!!

I hate all that waste of space

Somewhat off subject, but do any of you know if CRK can replace the back polished screw & sleeve on my 'new' Mnandi (African Blackwood)? I bought this off that e site & in taking it apart to clean, I realized the former owner had cross-threaded the clip screw back into the sleeve, & now I don't want to force it back in.

I know CRK is closed today, otherwise I would have called them. Alternately, would any of you Mnandi collectors have spare parts I could buy?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Oh my! That's going to require a call to CRK. Not even sure if they still have any of the old style screw sets that go with the old style clip. If they do, you are good to go and can most likely get a set from them. If not, you are probably going to have to replace the entire clip with a new style, which uses a clip and one hex head barrel nut.

I was overcome by this thread & have joined the frenzy. I was lucky to find a Lignum for my first Mnandi:

Congrats, Lignum is a great choice and difficult to find. Enjoy!

 

[Falco57]

Congrats! Nice start... And the next?

Beautiful grain on that Lignum. Super find. Contrats!

 

[2Dead]

Great looking grain on that one too!!

Thanks to all for the kind words. I'll probably go on the hunt for a LH user next. But, it may be a while. My mind & spirit is willing it will have to wait until my pocked book is able

Many of us carry and use our Mnandis. There was actually a thread posted not too long ago on this very subject. Click HERE to check it out.
