New kitchen/camp Nessie

[jojo]

I have just finished this Nessie. The blade is convex ground and very sharp, 3/32 (about 2.5mm) 01 tool steel.Overall, it's 215 mm and the cutting edge is 115mm long. As you can see the blade shape is a bit different from my other Nessie, with a 122 mm step from the handle to the blade edge. I have used 3 mm red liners, which is a bit thick, I think, but the wood scale were a bit thin and I wanted to use the wood because of the beautiful grain and colour of the Mexican Rosewood. The rounded handle is easy on the hand, and has a slight "waist".

The sheath is also a bit different from my normal fare. 3.5 mm veg tan leather, with some stamping. I think it compliments the Nessie nicely.

Hope you like it!

Now I can't get the image outof my head
Still think its a very nice knife, and the woodgrain is lovely.
The moon shaped stamping on the sheath is a nice touch.
Something about the shape of a Nessie....it just looks like its meant to be used.

That's a nice nessie and a lovely sheath there, great to see something a bit different! I'd say that sheath is the perfect compliment to the knife, a real nice mountain man look to it. No chance of your finger slipping onto that blade during use either, great stuff mate!

Grand is that! Right grand.

One of the nicest nessies I've seen. A nessie is a knife so easy to get wrong in my opinion. Not yours though mate, that one ticks all my boxes.

 

[Chris the Cat]

I love that Nessie!
That red would bug me tho!..
Love the sheath and the Rosewood.
