[Nukemkb]

My hands were shaking... this is my first ivory Mnandi, and I decided to order direct from CRK - so I've not a clue what its going to look like!

(drum roll please!!)

it takes a CR knife to open the box...

OMG!

Happy Dance!!

Yes, I did ask for blue...(more happy dance!)

My picture takin' does not do justice to this little beauty - let me try again

Holy sh*t! That is pretty! How much and how long did it take to get?

I ordered at the knife show in Atlanta (June?), and was told 6 months. I was pleasantly surprised to get THE call last week! Price? Less than what I just paid for a Umfaan that has yet to arrive... and CRK sells at retail - keeps from hurting their retailers.

Stunning!!! I just picked up a mammoth ivory Mnandi too. Mine isn't bark and isn't nearly as nicely figured as that one...but I like it. There is just something about mammoth, it's good stuff and fits perfectly onto the Mnandi.

Congrats on a killer score and some beautiful ivory!!!

I dont see how Chris and Anne can bear to part with these knives! They build things like that then just let them go?

incredible!

Thanks all! I am still in a bit of shock over how nice it is...but blade? right! I forgot to even look at the blade!

Every angle shows different "character" in the ivory...
