Well i always kinda liked these knives. So I made a few. This one I keep. I really like this knife. The sheath is kinda period with the knife. No tooling all freehand. So anyone else like nessmuk knives?<>< (http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/40047/2797218410051876912S500x500Q85.jpg) (http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2797218410051876912Ezeoad) (http://inlinethumb19.webshots.com/38802/2413108320051876912S500x500Q85.jpg) (http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2413108320051876912VEwAmu) (http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/28072/2012608280051876912S500x500Q85.jpg) (http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2012608280051876912dstxiA)

That is pretty cool Frank.
Now that is one sweet knife, Frank, and the sheath as well. Pretty true to form, I'd say. Also enjoyed the read about ol' Nessmuk, 42WLA - thanks.
Very, very nice Frank!
Excellent Frank - Very classy sheath!!!!

Wow.. 42WLA, very cool read.
yup, a Nessmuk fan here too.

Lots of interest in Nessmuk style blades on the knife forums lately. BTW, if anyone reads the old jimbo article, the knifemaker mentioned seemed to have some problems based on various internet posts. I suggest you do a search about him to form your own opinion. I am not trying to flame him, just pass on what I have read.
Cool history lesson...Your knife certainly looks the part :thumbsup:

Very good looking Nessmuk.You know something about photography too :saywhat:

When you refer to it as a Nessmuk, is that the blade style/shape? Looks like a small machete. I like it. What size is that blade?
yes the blade design.<><
