Good afternoon!
I'm new to the forums and I wanted to share with you all a rare piece.
For sale is a mnandi with walnut inlays, birth date in December of 2011. It is a transitional model, meaning that it has the new style pivot hardware and detent hole but it also has the old style nail nick and pocket clip. I recently purchased this from a local CRK dealer in the Denver area. According to the dealer, they worked with CRK to track this one down for a collector. Upon receiving the knife, the collector decided to return the knife to the dealer. Hence you will notice that the knife came with an info card from CRK documenting the unique characteristics of this model. The placard also denotes it as "preowned" even though it appears brand new.
This knife came to me like new in box and appears to have the factory edge.
Upon removing the pocket clip for closer inspection, I noticed a small imperfection in the wood inlay near where it butts against the pocket clip. I did not notice this at the time of purchase given that you can hardly see it with the clip attached. I have only owned this for 5 days and have only carried it inside the slip sheath. One scratch near the butt of the handle(lock side) and one on the blade.
See the attached photos. I am asking $550 or OBO for this knife.
Have a great day!
