This is a really nice pattern...what color are those dots? They look black...wondering how this one was done.

Don't have a clue about the dots. I'm not a fan of the smalls, but I just couldn't pass this one up. Hopefully it'll be in my hands in a few days so I can get a closer look.

The dots are most likely dark blue to purple. It looks like this one was done by cutting and anodizing the dots first, then going back and cutting the rest of the design. I've got a couple that were done like that.
 
After LW and some others driving me mad about their "morning sun" and "night sky" stories, I needed to do something about it. So eat this :D :D ;)

As I am into damascus blades with CRK, it needed to be a damascus one. I love the raindrop pattern on this one and I am particularely exited about the fact that the scene has threes. As all of the night sky UG I have seen so far do have the threes, but the morning sun UG not often, I am happy about that. Because I want to find also a night sky with damascus blade in order to have a nice team.

Very Nice indeed Stefan!!! Congratulations for landing this one...

I have been hunting for Moon Song, Night Sky, and Morning Sun myself. But all in Regular Sebenza profile.. So, it might never happen or maybe might take awhile... S30V or Damascus is fine with me...

LW, can you tell me more about the Citrine? I am not too familiar with Cabochons...

Citrine is a gemstone, the orange version of Amethyst. The color can range from very light to fairly dark. All but the best Citrine has a bit of brownish yellow overtone, you can see in the pics. It's also a somewhat soft stone, it will scratch with wear of carry in the case of a knife. My own large EDC has a Citrine, and the scratches on top of the stone a readily visible under a loupe. Citrine makes a nice choice for a MS, because the color has a resemblance to the sun. I like it better than an Almandine Garnet on the graphic, although I love an Almandine on other UG's.

LW, thank you for this new piece of knowledge.. So, as a reward, I am letting you have a good look at what I have been holding out on... :D

It's about time!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's worth it! I like the pattern on that Raindrop. Please add it to the Raindrop thread, along with it's birthdate. The graphics aren't my favorite, but the blued damascus is memorable.
 
I am excited about this one. This is my first Mnandi and I wanted Box Elder with some dark grain and no so many spots. (knots). Finally found one. Can't wait to see it. I have never really handled a Mnandi real close so it is my first experience with the Mnandi in general. Based on the super high quality of CRK and that I like < 3" blade for in pocket carry this should be a good fit. I will EDC it (light office duty) and probably remove the clip and carry in the leather pouch.

 
Here's the 2 UG's together. As a plus, these were both made on my most favorite year.. 1999 :D

Lol. Believe me, I ain't a UG guy. I got them for their Damascus... lol

That is great to know LW. Are these what they refer to as "Line Drive" graphics or something?
Click to expand...

No, Line Drive is a CGG, these are UG's. The blue does have some of the look that later went into the Line Drive, but I've seen several with a similar look. The ladder has all the hallmarks of being a Scott Cook, it's a lot like this confirmed Cook here.

Lol. Thanks for clarifying that LW. I see the similar elements on the Ladder with your confirmed Cook piece. Very nice! :D
