New Member.. With new knife..

[racquette]

Hello Everyone

I am a new member to the forum. Looks like a great place!

I see I have a bunch to read to get up to speed.I recognize some names,that is comforting.

I make handforged knives in my charcoal forge. I have alot of common interests with you. I would like to hear you opininons of my work. Thanks for any input. I will post some pics to see what you all think.

This knife is the Backcountry...4 1/2" blade,1/8" 1095..desert Ironwood scales...Scandi grind...grind gets higher near the tip...not much,but it aids in slicing.

You should post pictures of your Nessmuk knives - I'm sure they'll get a great reception!

Hi Racquette, Welcome!

Very nice looking knife you have there, can't fault it from the picture! I like the thin handle (or comparitavely [sp!] thin).

Chris, you can PM if you like and I will point you to my website and or e-mail address. I don't want to post them here,I am not sure of the rules on that.

Racquette makes real working knives. Not just for looks. I've been using one of his blades for nearly a year now and am extremely pleased. Don't be hesitant if you're interested in one. BTW I'll be testing the one posted here. I ordered it a couple of months ago and received it today. Looking forward to using it.
