New to the Mnandi

[lemmuhj]

I've been EDCing a MIB Mnandi for many years now. 90% of the time, it's in its standard issue pouch, the balance it's clipped in a dress shirt or pant pocket. Either way, it sees no time in direct contact with coins or the like.

CRK does not stablize the material. Even so, I've gotten my Mnandi wet on occasion, and have had mine in both high and low humidity states with no adverse effects. The inlays are held in their pocket with somewhat compliant VHB tape, and the inlay/pocket dimensions are designed to accommodate expansion and contraction of the materials. As a result, the inlays see minimal stress from the mismatch in expansion coefficients. With my usage, I've seen virtually no wear of the MIB.

Looks like you have another mnandi in that leather sheath....nice formation:thumbup:

Yeah, after a bunch of pocket carry, the leather pouch tends to form around the knife like conformally coated plastic. It holds the knife secure, like a pliable kydex sheath.
