Nessmuk and other favorites

[Raining]

Finally had some time to take some photos of my new favorite Fiddleback - the Nessmuk - along with a couple other "historical" knives, my Kephart and Hudson Bay Camp.

It was serendipity when Andy told me this Nessmuk was available since the handles are desert ironwood!

Bark River Hudson Bay Camp knife, ML Kephart and Fiddleback Nessmuk - all in desert ironwood goodness.

All convex grinds.

A look at the handles. I love comfortable, hand-filling handles and the Nessmuk is no exception.

This knife locks itself into your hand and excels at slicing due to the thin blade.

Andy's interpretation of Nessmuk's knife is one of the most beautiful renditions I've seen of this classic design.

Thanks for another great knife!

I love traditional knives, and I love Ironwood.

Sir, I like your style.

I agree, historical knives are close to my heart. That's a beauty of a fiddleback you've got there.

A small Fiddleback Nessie is at the top of my want list!

Ironwood just sounds right for a knife,& it sure looks right.

Thanks guys. It is unlike any knife I've ever held...looks unique, too. I honestly wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I'm never letting this one go - it's perfect!

I highly recommend everyone try one of these nessies!
