Hey everyone,
I just received my fourth Mnandi and it is a real gem. It is a Box Elder with a very complex grain pattern and a darker color value than most of the ones I have seen around the dealers lately. It was purchased on the Exchange from a great guy (thanks, Rob) and I am absolutely thrilled with it.

I have also attached a pic of the knife with her new family (Bocote, Honduran Rosewood and LV).
They are all getting along rather nicely by the way :)

Thanks for looking and letting my share my excitement!

I agree, it is a very unique speciman, especially considering it is from Fall 2012, where most of the Box Elder seems to be lighter and contain far less grain.
