Nessmuk knives

[Daado]

Just finished these two.
My take on making Nessmuk style knives. They were forged from ball bearings, and it was fun to make them.

Wenge wood with black G10 for handle material, and horizontal right/left hand carry sheath
Overall length 9,25"
Blade length 4,7"
Thickness 0,157"

Walnut burl with black G10 for handle material, and horizontal right/left hand carry sheath
Overall length 8"
Blade length 3,5"
Thickness 0,118"

Thanks for looking,
Dalibor

I picked up the twins Dalibor made and pictured above and they arrived in Georgia today from Croatia (left 3/22). The fit and finish on both knives is excellent and each sheath is a substantial work of art as well. Fit the hand well and are razor sharp. Looking forward to using one and gifting the other. If you are on the fence about Dalibor's (Daado) knives, get one, you will not be disappointed.

Another one is almost done.
Beautiful piece of Textolite (vintage micarta) for handle material, and red G10 liners

I've forged next batch from 1095, and did differential heat treatment with clay. Blades are hand polished with 2000 grit sand paper and etched to reveal hamon.

On first one, i used deer antler for handle material. Antler was treated with Potassium permanganate to make it look older. Soft pieces of antler were sealed with epoxy resin.

Next two blades are waiting for handles.

I have a nice piece of stabilized walnut i plan to put on one of those after Christmas holidays.
