mnandi wood scale and lock

[Spam]

Is there anything under the wood scale on the lock side of the mnandi ?

Titanium. There is a picture, I think, on the CRK that shows how this works. The wood inlays on the Sebs and Mnandi are very thin slivers of stabilized wood set into thin machined recesses in the scales.

Edit: ok, I know what you mean. Let me get mine and a flashlight. I'll post back unless someone beats me to it.

I agree 110%

Ok, physical inspection reveals...there is a thin strip of the inlay that appears to be unsupported (unbacked) by the scale on the lock side. This is logical and I am guessing that's what your question was directed at. In real life, I very much doubt it presents any risk of inlay "failure" (breakage), and if it ever happened, there's a reasonable chance CRK would fix it under warranty, depending of course on the circumstances. To state the obvious, there's a big difference between what you are going to do with a Mnandi and what you are going to do with a large Sebenza.

Then again, there was the guy who broke the tip off his 806-901 using it as an ice pick, wondered why, and trashed/thrashed Benchmade...
