It'll be worth the wait Vactor!
The Mnandi seems to return us back to a more traditional folder. Also, if you think about it, you are getting a CRK piece that is a Wood Inlay. A small Wood Inlay cost you $515 & the Mnandi is about $300. Same workmanship, craftsmansip, tight tolerances as the Sebbies are, just made to a more traditional style folder and also easy to operate left handed as well! And yes, even tho there is no thumbstud, it can be opened one-handed with right or left hand.
