Show your nessmuk!

[Pignut]

It used to have a flat grind with a secondary bevel. I recently convexed it and now it cuts like a laser. I never had any problems making fuzz sticks with this knife. It works as wel as my other scandi grind knives.

MMMmmmm thanks for the info!

do you know of a supplier (Blade only would be good)

Thanks again for the info and sorry to hijack the thread!

Lets see some more pictures people!

 

[michiel]

I won mine over at kniforums. It's made by Carl W. Price. I don't know if he's making any at the moment, but I can ask. I'll PM you when I get some more info.
As for other makers, Dale Chudzinski makes awesome nessmuks.

PM me if you prefer but what’s the deal with the axe, as in is the head a customised/re-worked Marples Hunter? Clearly the shaft is not factory-made.

In short I like it!

Cheers

 

[Pignut]

Thank you for that more info would be good!

 

[michiel]

It looks like a Lee Reeves axe. Correct me if I'm wrong Hoodoo

I asked the same question about that axe a while ago, it was mega money, although extreamly nice.

Yup, the axe was made by Lee Reeves. It's actually a bargain. Check out ebay for old Norlund double bit hatchets and you'll see what I mean.

 

[Hoodoo]

Very nice knife, but where did you get the sheath from? I want one.

The sheath was made by dannyboy. He makes some pretty incredible sheaths. I don't have his email handy at the moment but I'll look for it if you are interested. Just pm me.

Thanks. Will do that.

Are the profiles of each edge, on your example, that which he offers under the description of a “Nessmuk” grind? Certainly one of the edges on your example looks almost hollow ground?

Just want to ensure I communicate with him in terms that mean something. What I really want is one edge for campfire chores and the other for hide fleshing that can be given a razor like finish and is real thin/flat for at least 1.5 – 2 inches.

Sorry for all these questions and if my non-technical descriptions mean little.

Cheers
Ps: Does he work with Damascus??

There is no hollow grind. Must be an illusion. One is ground for fine work, one more for splitting. I think Schwert has an article on this hatchet over at the outdoor magazine forum.

 

[Hoodoo]

Here is a profile shot of the hatchet.

 

[hollowdweller]

This one isn't mine it's a Reeves with Ash handle that is a contest prize on another forum I'm on and the knife is a Razorback that is a passaround raffle on another forum also but thought I'd share it

Here's 2 customs I own by Ariel Salaverra

The hatchet in this one is one from Ragweed Forge


Here's my personal set that I use backpacking a lot

Here's a handful of Nessmuks

A few more some repeats

 

[michiel]

Looks great. I saw the first pic on the other forum too. Didn't know you were such a nessmuk fan. But I knew you liked Barkies. Great knives indeed.

Keep the sharpies coming!

[rapidboy]

Is that an Allan Blade ??

 

[hollowdweller]

The best one is the Dale Chudzinski. My favorite fixed blade hands down.

 

[Hoodoo]

QUOTE Is that an Allan Blade ??

Yup.

 

[sam_acw]

Nessmuk's Polish style - check out TLIM's site. http://www.tlim.net/nessmuk_knives.htm
Mine was number 50 .
I warn you that they are very substantially spined knives. 4-5mm at the handle I think.

 

[oetzi]

Now if I only could purchase a Nessmuk blade with a stick tang
Who has a source, please?

 

[Chopper]

Yup.

Bugger I really wanted to order one of those.
