just thought i'd share some pics of a nessmuck i have just finished for the knife show in bristol on the 18th may run by mikes knives,which i will be attending
the nessmuk comes in at 9and 5/8 inches long 1and 3/4 inches wide and 1/8 thick,nice 1/2 inch deep scandi grinds giving the knife real strength and a hair popping edge,the handles are in keeping with the knife and are of samba stag with palm and pummel swell and held on with epoxy resin and 3x6mm mosaic pins made by custom pinmaker and firefigher patrick from the usa,

thanks for looking
bernie
 
Love the blade shape Bernie, The scales go well, most of all I like your signature design on the blade, looks very posh.:cool:

Simon.
 
Are the scales meant to be different thicknesses Bernie... Is it a trick of the camera?

This brings up a point I have been meaning to ask for a while - why are most knife handles symetrical, when, from simple observation, it is evident that a persons grip is not?
I often make asymetrical handles, with a dip for the thumb and more "meat" on the palm side of the handle for instance, and find this more comfortable than a purely symetrical grip.
Any thoughts?

The Nessy looks great - even thoughj I have no Elk to skin at the moment!
 
another great knife bernie nearly as nice as my yellow handled little whittler
 
This brings up a point I have been meaning to ask for a while - why are most knife handles symetrical, when, from simple observation, it is evident that a persons grip is not?
Might it be to make the knife equally suitable for left- or right-handers without a custom build?
 
As we are creatures of habits, would someone actually buy a right handed, or left handed for that matter, knife? Or would there be resistance to them?? and no sale for the poor(the proper synonymous word for) knife maker??:rolleyes: :D
