suddenly i'm collecting mnandis

[yumnandi]

A few months ago I decided to buy a Mnandi. Next thing I know, I'm collecting them. How did this happen? When does it end?

Nice looking group there.
I think the collection takes on a life of its own after the first couple purchases. As to ending...I’m not even sure that’s possible.

I LOVE that Thuya!


As to where it ends.....

OMG. That is amazing. I have so many questions. Do you have a... system for deciding which ones to buy? When do you go for damascus vs regular steel? Do you have a favorite? And what is that stunning wood sixth from the left on the bottom?

Before I try to get my drinking self to answer the questions, have some reading material.

The Mnandi in question is Box Elder.

What a wonderful article. I read every page. Thank you. Having the history and context just whets the appetite for more!

watch that Lone_Wolfe ... I was in the process of adding an Umnumzaan and they posted Mnandis and now I keep looking at them also ...

it's voodoo ... I swear turn your head now ... or buy new storage ... seems there will be more.

P.S. ... yes man that Thuya of yours is awesome!

The sickness will spread throughout your mind. It is hopeless. Surrender is your only option.

I know whereof I speak.

That is not all of them.

Wow! Well, at least I know I am not alone in this.

I'll set a calendar reminder for 10 years from today to come back and update this thread with a picture of my own.
