Full sized half guarded Nessmuk

[Raymond Richard]

This was another blade that had been sitting on my bench for a couple years. I had bought an old drag saw blade maybe 8 years ago from "Fairly Honest Mikes". Its a well know second hand and junk store 20 miles southeast of Portland. The drag saws started showing up in the 1920's a few years before chainsaws. The blade on this knife is 5", more iron fittings, and an ass backwards sambar stag handle. Overall its 10 1/2". Here's an example of a drag saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2AnP2Ji4s

Oh damn Ray, this one really pops out to me, I love everything about it! Out of curiosity could you shoot me an email about pricing for this piece?

Thanks for sharing, truly beautiful work!
