Hello,
in the german forum bladecommunity a friend recently presented his new Nickers, made by the young profesional smith Andreas Holzer from austria.
Andreas not only makes this traditional style Nickers, but amazing Loveless knives as well (just saw a few weeks ago an impressive subhilt).
But here, I want to show these stunning, traditional Nickers, drop forged with vintage drop forge moulds, as they are used since generations in austria.
These are forged from Böhler N690Co, handfinished, AAA+ Sambar
Steel N690Co
Total length: 22 cm
Blade: 10 cm - 9cm sharpened
Weight with sheath: 194 gr.
Weight knife: 173 gr.
Here the pics, first the mirrow polished Nicker, later the "brut de forge" one.
