Mnandi pic thread?

filosofem · Apr 7, 2004

The Mnandi is still one of my favourite knives. It has got a classic and timeless look. It fits perfect to the german "bauhaus-art-style" of the early 20th century.

I love my mnandi, usually carry it for more dressy occasions when the Sebenza is just too big

WOW!!! Nice pics! DarkBlue and Kram18, Can you please mention what types of Damascus those blades are? (Ladder?) Are they stainless or high carbon? (If high carbon, is staining/rust an issue?) They're really beautiful! Thanks!

Both my Sebenza and Mnandi are ladder pattern and are stainless damascus.

How does the stainless damascus compare with S30V?

Hi davemc

You´re right! The blade on my Mnandi is Ladder-Damascus from Devin Thomas.
It´s a stainless blade.

Thanks DarkBlue and Kram18, I appreciate the information. I don't know if you saw my post from yesterday, "newbie question: which Damascus best matches Snakewood inlays," but I just ordered a Mnandi with Snakewood inlays and Raindrop Damascus. After seeing your Mnandis I am convinced that the Ladder pattern looks even sweeter than the Raindrop.

Thanks again!

all beautiful knives!! I'm waiting on my Mnandi-Snakewood with reptillian damascus blade...BTW filosofem, what inlay is that on your pictures? I really like the black color-Tony

It´s blackwood. My favourite wood.

Filosofem, is that a Nomos Tangente? I believe that watch has exhibition back with a beautiful gold plated movement...the ETA/Peseux 7001 with Glashütte sunburst decoration. If that's the same watch, it's a very nice piece. I love that Teutonic simplicity of watches from Saxony.

Hi davemc,

yes, it´s a Nomos Tangente. It´s realy a classic design and a great pice of workmanship. My favourite watch since years.

My Mnandi also has African Blackwood inlays. I really like the "traditional" quality that they give to a very innovative knife.

I have a couple of Mnandi pix in my For Sale thread, including a Bloodwood.

Yes, I know... I want to trade for the Blackwood one... it'll match my Blackwood large classic...

I love the Mnandi. Had a snakewood version (before it was stolen

), now have a walnut inlay model. I will definitely be adding another to my CRK collection.

I now have a pic of my Mnandi.
