Mnandi Tip

[5.56]

Here is a simple way to freshen up your Mnandi clip. This is nothing new really, but it's a cheap and easy fix, and it works well.

I'm the second owner of my Mnandi. And when I received it, the knife itself was nearly flawless, however the clip was very scratched.

The Mnandi clip has more of a stonewash/satin finish to it, unlike the beadblasted Sebs. Here's a shot of my beat up clip, as received.

Anyways, with nothing but simple green/yellow scotchbrite pad and and some light rubbing, you can restore the finish on the clip. It takes minutes.

Like I said this is nothing new, many have used scotchbrite pads to "antique" their Sebs. But I wanted to show this works well for restoring your Mnandi clip.

Here's the after shot.

After I removed the clip, I decided that I like the Mnandi clipless now. I think I will locate a CRK pouch and carry it deep pocket anyways.

Thanks for the tip. Not sure I will be needing it after reading your leather pouch thread. I was so excited about getting the Mnandi's that I didn't realize that there was a leather pouch still in the box... under a few papers.

Yeah, I'm going that route too. I'm going to leave the clip off, and carry the pouch in my right front pocket

I just need to buy a pouch now

Did you use the coarser green side in the beginning and finish off with the yellow?

Just the green side




Sorry I can't get a closer "after" pic, my camera sucks at macro

The first pic was from the seller.

Lookin' good Rob!
Loved my Mnandis and this just adds to the oh so slight remorse...

Nathan, are you Mnandiless? (<-not a word)

I thought you had a ton of CRK's

Thanks for the advice. I carry my Mnandi in the leather pouch with the clip attached - it's such a small knife I worry that if I clipped it somewhere I would forget about it and ultimately lose it!

Only complaint I have is the pouch is a little to big for the knife - I think it was designed to carry the small Sebenza. The knife easily falls out.
