Ummm... Umfaan!

[craniotes]

Finally added an Umfaan to my humble CRK collection:


(Honduran Rosewood Mnandi provided for scale - dang, this thing is small.)

Now, truth be told I would’ve grabbed any old Umfaan, but the “Zig Zag” graphic was always my favorite, so needless to say I’m beyond psyched here.

Any other Umfaan fans/owners ‘round these parts? If so, let’s see ‘em.

From a practicality standpoint they seem a bit small, but they sure come with some very cool old school CGG and UG.
Congratulations on your score

Yup, this thing is seriously small. Like almost comically so, but as far as urban/office carry goes, it’s a near perfect – at least for my needs (package opening and, uh, package opening).

That means you don't need the Mnandi anymore, you can send it to me.

This would definitely make a great sunday/office knife for sure. The stud is tiny!

I'm fairly certain that you need another Mnandi like you need a whole in your head... ;-)

That said, how do you not already have, like, five Honduran Rosewood Mnandis stashed away?

No dear, only 2. Which means I need yours.

Whoa...

Small knives are cool

Agreed! Most of the knives I own are around 3”, give or take. I’ve got a couple of bruisers for use around my countryhouse, but for city carry – which is where I am primarily – anything over 3.5” is overkill.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/aGdA4ibUXmpkX3ZL7I just got a call from CRK today.. My umfaan is finished with her spa treatment and on her way home. She is the only lefty Umfaan I have every seen even a photo of.. supposedly Ann reported 25 were made lefty...

Anyone else ever see a lefty photo

 

[Jfoster99]

My Umfaan has just come back from a Spa Treatment. She has never looked better with her brand new birthday card and stylish new box to travel around in.

She is off to the Exchange now... I’m going to see if I can find here a new home.

Just picked this up from the forums, really cool little knife. Makes my small sebenza seem large!

 

[loon#r]

And if anyone has a spare $2k to $4k lying around they can pick up a used Umfaan on the bay...
