Very nice
The Mnandi is definitely a gorgeous little knife. I have a CF oneā¦ I havenāt carried it yet, lol.
Been carrying my G10 scaled Rat II these past few weeks.
:heart_eyes: beautiful!
I love it. I am not a hard use guy, mainly boxes and other packaging. I have mine for a year and it feels just as sharp as new.
Nice Paul, is the feel in-hand what you thought it would be?
S35V blade? Seems Chris is making all of em in the S35V these days. Heās got my attention, for sureā¦ 110 cravings or not!
Sheās a little smaller than I expected her to be. All i had looked at were clones really, although of the many many knives I own, I havenāt a single CR clone. In the hand? Very nice. Small but purposeful. Nice and sharp. Light but sturdy. Very tactile feel to the spalted beech and surprisingly grippy. It is a lovely knife. And sheās going to get used. Oh, and yes, S35V.
do you have a link to the microtech clone? thanks

Paul, are you aware that Chris Reeve worked with Crucible to develop the S35Vn steel? Itās marginally better than S30V but the areaās itās better make it worth it.
Can someone tell me how to post my pic on this forum? I am getting a 3rd party notice on my Photobucket account. Tried but no luck. Never had this problem before.
I am not a computer expert but will manage if I have good instructions.
I just use imgur
I wasnāt aware of that Dale - cool, thank you!!
Switched it way up today!
This knife makes me want to get a standard Dauntless for more regular carry.
EDIT: Fixed!
Iād probably never use one, but I want one of those for the name alone!

Itās not an ordinary name for sure! IMO itās a smart design: slipjoint with a big finger choil which you can convert into a āfixed bladeā by the provided torx tool if needed. It might be UK legal too I guess.
