Got my first Mnandi today from Helen at Customer Favorites, All I can say is it won't be my last. Plaza Cutlery has an Ivory one that has my name on it. I figure the Bocote can go into my EDC rotation & the Ivory can be a Safe Queen.
Today I carried my Lrg Seb on my rt in a CRK pouch, My Small Seb in my lft frt pocket in a Calfskin pouch & the Mnandi in my shirt pocket just like a pen clipped to my shirt. Im a walkin CRK advertisement. Click on the link for some pictures of the Bocote.........

Congratulations on your Mnandi. I just picked up my 4th one and I love every one of them. The Top one is Bocote, the next is Bocote also. The third is jigged madagascar rosewood, and the bottom damscus one is cocobolo.

I also just received my first Mnandi from Helen today. I went with the box elder. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with. This is the second CRK I bought from her and there will be many more to come. I am very pleased with the Mnandi. I bought it as a back up to my Umnumzaan which has been my primary carry for two months now. This is a whole lotta knife in a small package! I think I'll save my pennies for a mammoth bark/damascus one next.

Helen is da bomb! Got my Small Seb from her. Due to looming enemployment (from December 1st onwards) I'll have to pass on getting a Mnandi anytime soon, I'm afraid. Anyway, how does the knife feel - isn't it too small to properly handle? And is the blade easy to open single-handedly?

Pretty spectacular grain on that box elder! :thumbup:

When I first opened the box & saw it I said to my self that thing is way to small for me what have I done? It makes a small Sebenza seem like a buck 110. But once you pick it up & feel the quality & smoothness of the opening you are hooked. It opens with one hand very easy & is like butter. It is very impressive for its size, Fit & Finish is second to none.
I got mine yesterday and already want another one. I would like to see one in white Ivory with Damascus.

Nice Mnandis! I have a snakewood Mnandi that I love. IMO incredible EDC knife and much tougher than it looks.I will definitely be watching for a box elder in the future.
 
I want a large Mnandi!! Darn it!!! with ladder damascus, curly Koa inlays!!! Bart1
 
The Mnandi is a great little knife, I have never seen one I didn't like but I
would be happy to do terrible things to get my hands on a plain full Ti one.
 
I too desperatly want a large mnandi.............Also one with a plain scale ( a cheaper version ? )
