I tried but cannot retrieve pictures of Sneezewood inlay Mnandi.
Can you help?

Unfortunately I can't. I know it exists but have never seen a picture of it. Only a few (2 or 3) were ever made.

Edit: I know who has one of them (at least he did a few years ago), I'll see if i can get a pic.

This discussion is raising this old man's blood pressure! To be able to see something that he hasn't seen... Yoo! Hoo! Kinda makes up for flynlow swooping in on something while us old folks were still just piddlin around. [emoji16]

Like anything else in life, it's being at the right place at the right time (Thanks to a couple forum members for the heads up), Vines and Roses on a Mnandi is one of my favorites.

Wow Dino! Great catch!!! That looks absolutely stunning!
 
Would love to see CRK use some damascus like the Vines and Roses on the Mnandis more often....really perfect design for the smaller blade profile IMO...looks good Dino!

Nice catch! Seems like I am always relegated to hand-me-downs 😏 I wish I could hire you, Dino to scour the Interwebs for a few nice ones for me. your assistants would be Lone_Wolfe, Ice Man, and Falco! Super-collectors all!

I just got my African Blackwood Mnandi from lemmuhj and I really love it. Its the first old model Mnandi I have handled and I like it much better then my 06/2012 version. The old nail nick makes opening it much easier. The detent also seems to be better tuned and its the smoothest CRK I have. Not that my others are bad in the action this is just at the top of the class. From this point on I only want to collect the older models in Mnandi.

Here is a pic along side my Box Elder Burl Mnandi
