I was happy with my small and large Mayo-nized Sebenzas and didn't even know there was an Umnumzaan with Mayo treatment.
Found out there's only one of the Umnumzaan, so with a little more selling off, it's in my collection.
Hope there isn't a Mayo Mnandi or Umfaan.
Here are the pics:

Downsized quite a bit... this is most of the large. One in route, one "P" tucked in a box.

A stunning collection. Thanks for sharing. I am new so have to ask "what is Mayo-nized". Does CRK's do this? Make it a great day.

Mayo-nized refers to custom knife maker Tom Mayo...he's often recognized as having hole patterns in his knives. I think he took on some projects for folks. Folks bought the knives from CRKs then sent them to Tom for the treatment.

Thanks for the education.
 
Nice collection! I like the Mayo trio, but the Night Sky is my favorite. I hope to get one someday. :thumbup:
 
Definitely a "Top Shelf Collection" you have there..........................

Very nice pictures also
 
So I missed out on getting your numbered Insingos? I like the graphics, not so sure about a bunch of holes though. No more inlays?
 
Oh, I missed the "large" part of this is it. Coffee... more coffee.

Actually I have been camping out in the exchange for a while and wonder of wonders, I have a tracking number for the 04- Small Insingo. :D
 
Excellent selection! I think you have a great collection. The Mayos are excellent. I don't think Tom has done that many.
 
Looks like there are some unique type "cut outs" on a few of them, especially the Umnum. How does it effect the opening?

Doesn't affect opening for me the few times I've opened it...although the Umnum isn't going to be used so I won't have real world experience with it to really know.
The only other one with truly unique cut-outs is the one with the grooves on the scale...that I found to be very easy to disengage since I have a chubby thumb :)
 
Lisa if you get a chance take some up close photos of the tanto scales. Straight on and at a angle if possible. No rush, thanks!
 
Okay, I'll take some photos tomorrow. I needed to take some shots of my small Sebbies and Mnandi which I forgot to do.
