I am Really Liking The Gnome

[Mistwalker]

I've liked the looks of the Gnome since the drawing popped up a while back. Recently I was given the opportunity to borrow one for my photo projects...which is awesome because life events this past year have not been conducive to buying the knives I need for my projects right now. I haven't gotten crazy with it or anything, partly because it isn't mine and partly because it's a small edc not a bushcraft tool.

That said, I really like this knife a lot. It's not a whole lot bigger than the Runt, but I like the pointier tip better. Also I really like the handle shape. It's like a 3 finger version of the Lonestar handle and I love my Lonestar. I find this knife highly functional in an edc role. I just love the way it handles. I'm definitely going to need to land a wooden handled one of my own for my own uses and future projects.

It has been hanging out with me in Middle earth some too, and I just really dig this knife.

It really is. Like as very classy and much more refined version of the shards of stone our ancestors carried for edc cutting tools

Thanks for this post—I've been really wondering about that little guy and how it fits into the hand. Thanks for the photos!

It reminds me of a pointier Stubbymuk-- a pattern I really like.

No problem, glad you found the post useful! I was intrigued as soon as soon as I saw it because I do like my Lonestar so much and the handles are so similar in shape.

It is very much like a pointier version of the Stubbymuk and the pointiness was what caught my eye VANCE has a pic of the two together that shows the similarities and differences.

This is what I thought of when I finished the first one. I can just see a group of people on their knees skinning a mammoth with the little thing. Good call.

We are a lot alike in our thinking. That is very similar to the image that passed through my head the first time i handled it, people hunkered over animals skinning them and processing the meat near a fire as the snow fell outside a cave opening. It feels very natural and very intuitive in my hand in use.
