Amazing stuff. That Aquanaut never gets old either :) That platan/basketweave Mnandi is the best variant of that knife that I've seen IMO!
 
Chris Reeve Knives Collection Current Status

If you have a Crosshatch or Paisley Sebenza and want a good chunk of $ (I will give you a serious offer) or to trade, hmu!
I think a Mnandi would be a nice addition...
 
My favorite pattern! Still hunting a gec #16, maybe some day :)
The GEC 16 is on my list as well. It's going to be a tough find. That's the fun part of building a canoe collection. It's the thrill of the hunt.
