I love the look of nessmuk's but could someone explain what they are designed to do?
They look real great for skinning.

I know that I will probably stir up a hornet's nest, but what is it about these Nessmuks or Nessmuk design that everyone likes. To me they're a little ugly and I don't see the advantage over other blades. Is it the mystic or reputation or do they do or have something that other knives don't?

I don't understand the Nessmuck blade shape either. It looks like a trailing point skinner, except for the spine shape. What's the advantage of the hump?

I just got a wolf river from Bark River....I love it, I have to get another, I showed it to my Step Father and he wants one now. I am thinking about getting him a custom Nessmuck...I will have to see if I can find him a good one. Gene

I agree with Ron53. Once you have a nessie in your hand you will know. They are versatile and feel great in the hand. You can cut like crazy with them. Mine is a scandi grind by Dan Koster. It's a little thicker than most, I think the design works best with a thinner blade.
It is a great knife that works great in the kitchen as well as outdoors. I guess you just have to try one to see if you like it.

Just thought I'd post some of my own pics of my nessie.
My next one will be a damascus nessmuk by Ariel Salaverria.
The edge is curved almost the entire length of the blade, giving it a huge belly. This allows for a good rocking motion when prepping food. You can also spread peanut butter and such quite well with it.
I like to put my thumb on the spine to generate a lot of cutting power. The way the blade is designed the edge is really close to the hand, but not in danger of cutting you.
The sheath is hammered leather and was custom made for the knife.

Rockin' set man! I love the DC one, but I'm a sucker for osage
That also, but the sine wave shape on it and the Gossman is just flat elegant.

Just realised I never did put mine on this thread....
As well as being great when it comes to cutting wood I also tried mine in the kitchen cutting bread, cucumber and tomatoes etc. As expected it worked great, it cut the bread cleanly without ' tearing ' at it like some bread knives even do, it sliced the tomatoes really thinly and would just push cut the cucumber !!!
I'm well pleased !!!!!
I just need a sheath now and it may well replace my other edc's !

pit-- that is an awesome looking nessmuk.... i really need to get one of dan's knives soon... that natural micarta is gorgeous.....
i think the nessmuk design excels in the kitchen.... given the shape of the blade, it makes slicing very easy.... my fiddleback nessmuk see's a lot of kitchen use....:thumbup:
