Here are a few photos of my Buck #15 Nessmuk

Considering the humble beginning as a modified sheepskinner butcher knife - we sure are seeing some elegant knives being made currently!
I like the Peterson pipe too. I often wonder where mine went.

 

[tomtom]

is the buck #15 a current production model?

tomtom, here's the skinny on the Buckmuk.

Dale Chudzinski's Nessmuks are hard to beat for a bunch of reasons.

Super knives but WHAT a sheath........!

Super knives but WHAT a sheath........!

Do you mean Hoodoo's one with the paddles?

I believe that's from Dannyboy...

A Nessmuk inspired knife is getting easier and easier to find, but I would not even bother considering the factory versions when Dale's are so easily had in exactly the sort of dimensions and materials you choose. His work is worth a bit of wait but his prices are in line with the factory stuff, plus you get the benefit of working with a great fellow.

Hoodoo,
I love that sheath, is that one of Danny's?

 

[Hoodoo]

Yup, that is a superb Dannyboy sheath. He's a super talented guy!

This one was made by Allan Blade. An incredible piece of craftsmanship. Someday I may even use it.

Im actually waiting on a mini nessmuk from Dale, i was expecting it sooner than this, but i think he's had a bit on his plate recentley, as im finding him a bit hard to get a hold of..

This is a great thread about Nessmuk knives. I've recently found an interest in them and thought I'd put one together. This one is 1/8" thick O1 with a 4 1/4" full convex grind blade. 4 1/4" handle with sambar stag scales. These knives seem to be a good all around camp knife.

Forgot to add,Dannyboy makes some of the best sheaths you will ever see. His leatherwork is a thing of art!

Nice to hear from you Dale! It's been too long since you've been active on the forums.

[racquette]

I have one of Dale's Nessmuk knives, it is amazing! :You_Rock_

He owes me another knife, a back country utility. Should come soon!

I was thinking about making another one of these from 5160 steel. whats dimentions should it be? Ie. How thick, wide and long etc. Would a flat blade with a scandi grind (convexed or flat) be best?

cheers in advance.
