This is my version of a Nessmuck. Cut from a bar of .214" thick 5160 H.C. steel, i hand forge the taper to the edge then finish grind, oil harden, temper to 475F. and polish them. the beautiful Cocobolo scales have hand inlet brass hardware, are polished and finished with an orange oil/beeswax combo, and are removable for cleaning or maintenance. That is because carbon steel MUST be cared for and WILL patina with use. Also for that reason i now offer Parkerizing free of charge. It is 9&1/2" overall, 4&7/8 tip to wood and weighs just over 11 OZ. I accept paypal, and this is a bargain at $65.00 shipped to your door in the U.S., contact me here or at djl66ftwii@gmail.com. Thank you for your interest.
