The larger one is 9.25" long from 1/8" thick steel with a 4.25" blade. It also sports a convex sabregrind. The handle is Wenge.

$165 shipped. I don't have sheaths for this model yet. Talfuchre at Diomedes industries is available to make them though.

Its very tempting to get the big nessmuk, but im torn about waiting to get a kitchen knife. Still mulling ...
 
What is the wood on the third one down in the first pic? I'll take it depending on the wood or is that one not for sale?

The wood there is Cocobolo over Osage Orange, but it was for an order, and is not for sale.
 
The lighter one (fourth in pic #1), is that the osage over walnut? If it's available and is the smaller version, I'll take it.

It is available, and it is the smaller version. Shall I consider it SPF??
 
Andy, I picked up the Nessmuk from the P.O. this morning. I gotta say, unbelievable work man. Thank you very much, your talent is a gift.
I really like the way you package the knife and sheath also. I know it seems like a small detail but it really compliments your style of work.
I couldn't tell from your pictures that this particular knife has blue liners but I like 'em. I was really wondering if I would like the knife or not once it got here but I'm blown away, it far exceeds my expectations. I never thought I'd spend this much on a knife but it was worth every penny.

A couple of points I wanted to mention:
Great sheath.
The blade measures around .095" at the spine which seems about perfect for this type of blade.
I love the way you leave the black scale on the blade.
The length and width of both the handle and blade are perfect IMO.
I hope this isn't my last Fiddleback knife!
Thanks again,
Eric
