EDITED with price reduction!
This is a tough one, but we're moving and money is tight. Up for sale is my left-handed mnandi in box elder burl. I am the first owner and have owned it since 2016.
Ok, first the "bad" - it's been carried heavily, used, and fully reprofiled by one Rob Bixby a.k.a. TheApostleP. All cosmetic, but it's got some dings and dirt on it. The only thing that might affect any kind of functionality is wear within the clip screw. The clip itself is brand new. I replaced it less than a month ago.
I definitely own the box and birth certificate, but I don't have them immediately on hand right now (like I said, we're moving). I don't have the cloth, leather pouch, or wrench anymore. If box and papers are important to you, let me know and I can figure it out. I purchased the knife new from Blade Gallery in September 2016 (such simpler times...)
The good - this is a screaming deal on a knife that works PERFECTLY. Smooth as butter, locks up tight, perfectly centered, and the reprofiled edge makes it a much better cutter than it was - and incredibly easy to return to hair whittling with a couple of swipes on a leather strop. To some of you collectors and hoarders, that might not mean much, but believe me, you'll have trouble keeping this out of your pocket. And it's still got that beautiful box elder burl inlay.
$399 $375 $365 paid to me via Paypal Goods and Services gets you the knife shipped within the US, with full insurance and tracking. International, I am willing to figure it out with you but you will probably end up eating some or all shipping costs.
That's my best attempt to show the centering, which still looks to be favoring the show side but I promise it's not!

Wear on the clip screw
Scratches on the spine
