Chris Reeve Mnandi knives: features

The unparalleled quality of Chris Reeve knives is evident in the Mnandi. The Chris Reeve Mnandi is a beautifully designed gentleman's pocket knife made from premium materials. It is a knife for life, which will be passed on for many generations. In Zulu, 'Mnandi' means 'very nice'. It's a suitable name and the perfect description for such a gentleman's knife. It doesn't get more stylish than the Chris Reeve Mnandi.

The Chris Reeve Mnandi: the blade

The blade is made from CPM S45VN steel, an American steel that made its debut in the Mnandi in 2021. Compared to S35VN, S45VN is slightly better when it comes to sharpness retention, and it is also easier to sharpen.

With a little practice, the Mnandi can be opened one-handed with the help of the cut-out in the blade. At first, though, it's probably best to open the knife with two hands. When opened, the blade is locked in place by a frame lock. Even though this small folding knife may look a little austere, the quality of the materials used, and the finish are absolutely exceptional.

The Chris Reeve Mnandi: the handle

Functionality and quality go hand in hand with this stunning design. The titanium handle is especially striking. Every Mnandi features an exclusive inlay. For some, this is a nice piece of wood, for other knives, this can be a piece of carbon fibre or ivory. Consequently, there are a lot of different versions. Some nice details are the interchangeable pocket clip milled from a single piece of titanium, and the hinge screw decorated with the logo.

The Chris Reeve Mnandi: stunning and ingenious

The Mnandi isn't just great to look at, it's also cleverly constructed. One example is the adjustable pocket clip. To make sure you don't see the head of the screw, Chris Reeve has made the clip into the screw. A bushing turns around the screw protruding from the clip from the other side of the handle. Brilliant!
