Skunk, are there any knives you don't own????

Cool! I have a small limited edition wood inlay of snakewood 2003 model. I also have a Mnandi on order with blue mammoth ivory. I'm not sure how many woods were used, I've seen or heard of about at least 5 or 6.

I have one of the special Mnandis that were made up for Knifeart.com with the Redwood burl. It's pretty damn nice!

idahoskunk - I know how you feel; I have a snakewood Mnandi on order, too. I'm trying not to think too much about it ...

Skunk and Nathan,

You are going to really like the snakewood Mnandi. I have carry one now. Not only is the wood great looking, but I figured if it is durable enough to take the inlay, it is probalbly less prone to breakage than another wood.

Congratulations - these are great knives that you can still open and close with one hand.

Here are the woods I can recall seeing on Mnandis advertised here and there:

ziricote
ebony
macassar ebony
bocote
tambouti (the one I carry)
snakewood
desert ironwood
cocobolo
box elder
Indian rosewood
Madagascar rosewood
African blackwood

I'm sure there are others, too!
