I had Chris make me this little edc nessie for me back at the end of October. I've meant to post a few pictures for a while, but just keep forgetting so I'll post a few now.

When I ordered, I kinda told Chris what I wanted and he sent me a drawing and I had him make a couple small changes to the blade shape and told him to do what he thought would work best with the handle. I told him to put whatever he had on for handles and they didn't have to be anything fancy. I really like the way it turned out. It feels pretty good in my hand and man is this sucker sharp. It actually bit me pretty good a day or two after I got it when I let my finger get in the way while I was putting it back into the sheath on my belt. I told the story to Chris and he said it was kinda funny that it had bit me because he got a cut from the belt when he was grinding it. I guess its just a mean little bugger. This definitely won't be my last KFU knife, thats for sure. I already have the money stuck aside for a hunter. :D
 
It really is a handy little knife. I need to get a sheath made that will let it fit in my pocket a bit better so I can use it more. I have it on me a lot when I'm not at work, but with the job that I have they would frown on me having it on my belt all the time. Noone bothers me over a folder clipped to my pocket, but something really visible on my belt would probably cause trouble.
 
That's a fine looking Nessmuk you have there. Been wanting one myself.
 
Looks great! Give Griffin Hawks a shout, he can make a killer kydex pocket rig that would work great.
 
WOW,I like your tweaks ac,looks more like George's.
Every maker has their own interpretation.
I have 7 "Nessmuks" & all but 2 have different but similar blade shapes.
I think Chris's Skinner could be called a Nessmuk even.
Muscrat Man makes one with an antler handle that is the closest I've seen to George's.
This one is a great interpretation,you guys pretty much nailed it.
Congrats on your first.
