Made a Nessmuk knife

[jojo]

I was first!! Any idea on cost? I can wait obviously, I am actually in no rush. If you do make them, don't get snowed under with orders. I wouldn't like to think that you feel obligated to churn them out by the dozen.

I know, it would be hard to cope being snowed under with orders...:umbrella: .. what a thought.. Wouldn't say no though....... doing something I enjoy and being paid for it
As for price? no not really, but let me work something out and I'll pm anybody interested, does that sound reasonable?

Because it's so thin, 2mm, I have given it a sort of shallow convex grind with a secondary edge bevel. That seems to work and hold the cutting edge fairly well. I am not sure it would take a lot of "battering" but on the other hand I have wacked it with a batton and chopped some wood without any damage.

If the main use for it is, say, food preparation with the occasional wordwork, that should be a good combination.

If the plan is to do more "woodwork" than food preparation, then it may be worthwhile having a 3mm blade thickness with a more traditional scandi grind.

Anyone agree or disagree?

I'd like both please Jojo

A 2mm convex blade and a 3mm scandi blade.

Any thoughts on cost yet

Depending on the price and when they'd be up for offer I'd be very interested in a bare blade if you decided to make and sell a few

I have tried to PM people who are interested but I am having problems with loading BCUK for the past few days and can't send the PMs. I'll try again tomorrow. :You_Rock_
I have ordered some 01 tool steel . Should have it in a couple de days and can make a start at the weekend. £30 +p&p, £55 for 2, +p&p. The blades will be in 2 or 3 mm, better finished than mine and polished, with lanyard hole and 2 or 3, 4mm pin hole or your sizes... Not sure if I should put this here, but can't send PMs. PM me, if you can to let me know :You_Rock_

Sorry its a bit late, but thats great work Jojo.
I'm glad to see that other people are using their Rayburn for heat-treatment purposes as well as me. I'm running ours on large anthracite but I have a bag of Slack to try when I get some time.
