Blade length: 4"

SOLD PayPal or USPS MO.
International shipping at actual cost.

Trades: I will consider trading for custom knives from Fiddleback Forge or Wildertools.

Fiddleback Forge Nessmuk

This is the original nessmuk design that Andy no longer makes. I am the original owner of this knife.

Used lightly and stropped to razor sharpness. Some patina on the blade.

Handles are desert ironwood with black liners and steel pin. There is a tiny nick in the wood at the front knife on the left side, near the ricasso. Super comfortable handle.

This is a SLICER at only 3/32" thickness! Saber convex grind. 3D spalting (those hairlines on the blade are part of the spalting - they are not cracks!)

Blade length: 4"
OAL: 8.75"
Thickness: 3/32"
Steel: O-1
Width at widest point of blade is a little less than 1.5"

Sheath is made by Wasteland Leatherwork. It's a very compact, secure package overall.

SOLD. PayPal or USPS MO.
International shipping at cost.

Trades: I will consider trading for custom knives from Fiddleback Forge or Wildertools.

Ah there is no recurve in the Arete. The second photo has the illusion of one. It's straight.
 
Nessmuk is sold!

Arete still for sale. It's a beautiful knife - Andy Roy provides free spa service if you wish to have the patina removed and the knife restored to new condition!
