Latest knife, inspired by Nessmuk

[jojo]

This is my new creation, I can't quite call it a Nessmuk, but it was inspired by the Nessmuk style.

It is 260 mm overall, the blade is 140 mm long. Again it's 01 tool steel, 4 mm thick.I have given it a fairly soft, bushy style handle, and it is really comfortable to hold. Not a scandi grind this time.

The handle scales are a really nice Brown Oak, the pins are 1/4" copper and the lanyard tube is a 8 mm copper tube. I have flattened the curve of the cutting edge somewhat. Now, I need to make a sheath for it.

(Sorry about the size of the pics, I seem to have trouble with Photobucket now, their resizing programs seems to be playing up)

I hope you like it.
