Product Description
The Chris Reeve Mnandi is the definitive "gentleman’s folder," a masterclass in functional elegance and precision American engineering. This sophisticated pocket knife is designed for those who appreciate the finer details, offering a sleek, low-profile silhouette that is appropriate for the boardroom or a black-tie event. Handcrafted in Boise, Idaho, the Mnandi (Zulu for "very nice") blends the legendary strength of the Reeve Integral Lock with high-art materials, making it a functional masterpiece and a legacy heirloom.
This premium edition features ancient Bog Oak inlays, a rare material fossilized over centuries in peat bogs to achieve its deep, rich hues and unique grain. The 2.75-inch hollow-ground blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, the industry's premier super-steel, boasting a satin-polished finish and a staggering Rockwell hardness of 63-64 HRC. With the Gen 3 "thru-hole" nail nick for effortless one-handed opening and a glass-blasted titanium frame, the Mnandi is featherlight at just 1.5 ounces—delivering elite performance in an ultra-refined package.
