The Mnandi continues the tradition of high quality that you have come to expect from Chris Reeve Knives. An elegant, functional gentleman’s (or gentlewoman’s!) pocket knife, the Mnandi– pronounced mm-nun-dee – is accurately named from the Zulu word meaning “very nice”.

The titanium handles are inlaid (not overlaid!) front and back. The locking mechanism is the Integral Lock©, popularized on the Sebenza. The handle inlay of the knife shown above is Carmel Thorn wood. There is a wide variety of woods that could be used and we continue to experiment, it just depends on what we can obtain. The S30V blade is machined on both sides with an enlarged thumbnail recess for easy opening. The versatile pocket clip is machined from solid titanium and can be placed on either side of the knife or removed completely. Available in dedicated left or right hand models
