Here is one of mine.

Made from M2 tool steel- an all hard power hacksaw blade.
OAL- 23", Blade thickness 3/16". Made for work around the yard, so the grind is crude.

ob1 - Welcome to WS&S, Those are some awesome looking blades:thumbup: Any user pics??

Thank you, Mneedham.

here are two camp knives, made from M2 steel. Big one is 14" OAL and small one is 12 1/2". Great cutters, since they are only 1/8" spine. Handle is G11 with tubular copper pins.

Can you tell us more about M2? Your blades have a very distinctive style, I like it. I hope to see more:thumbup:

M2 is a tool steel that is very tough and can be hardened to well over 65* HRC. It retain it's tougness even when red hot, so it is extensively used in meatl cutting tools- saw blades, end mills, drill bits, lathe bits etc. A blade made from M2 is easy to sharpen to a hair splitting sharpness, and it will hold that edge for a very long time. Proper heat treating requires a lot of experience. I do not heat treat my knives. I grind them out of full hard stock that is around 63-65* HRC. Even with the best belts in the market it takes for ever to grind one, especially the finer grits. Due to the extreme hardness I need to be very careful about the edge geometry. Heavy choppers need to have some meat at the bevel to prevent chipping. There is a lot more info available on the internet, if you look it up.

Here's my favorite...I put this one together using an 8 1/4" hand-forged Bowie blade from the John Nowill & Sons company out of Sheffield, England. It's a real "user" as well! I've used it to clear brush, chop wood and dig roots out of the garden.

I don't have any big ones !

i thought i remember you doing a review of a British military chopper with wood handle scales and full guard i remember someone doing it anyways because i always wanted one

Thanks Drew, I just checked it out myself. Blade or OA length for that knife are nowhere to be found on his site. Weird.

I just found these specs off the Koster Site regarding the Nessie... and that is a sweet knife. I'll be adding it to my wishlist after my Fehrman Extreme Judgement.

My goals for my Nessmuk are this:

Efficiency in the kitchen
Utility for hunting/skinning
Toughness in camp duty / chopping


Specs: 9.5" overall
5.25" blade
4.25" handle
