Description: Chris Reeve Knives are some of the finest semi-production knives made. This Mnandi features cream toned mammoth ivory and a damascus blade. This is a particularly rare CRK and is one of only a small handful of knives that combines Chad Nichol's damascus with mammoth ivory. Chad Nichols damascus only began being used by CRK in the fall of 2017, well after CRK stopped taking orders for mammoth ivory knives. Sadly, mammoth ivory scales are now a thing of the past for Chris Reeve Knives. Though they stopped taking orders for mammoth ivory several years ago, CRK has been continuing to complete pre-existing orders. Regretfully, they have just told us that they do not plan to make any more mammoth ivory knives.
The scales are inlaid into the frame rather than being simple overlays. This presentation grade mammoth ivory is a pristine cream tone. The blade is made from Chad Nichols' stainless Raindrop pattern damascus. The steel will have exceptional edge holding and is immediately captivating. Both the liners and pocket clip are formed from 6Al4V titanium, keeping this knife extremely light and durable. The clip is mounted for tip up carry. The knife can be comfortably opened and closed with one hand and locks open for safety. The thumb rest is fileworked for dependable handling. The Mnandi features a strong integral locking mechanism that Chris Reeve popularized.
