This is the knife I would up making for the KITH this year.
In my opinion a Nessmuck must be thin, light and sharp. That was George
Washington Sears' whole point in describing the knife.
In addition, I love the natural curves the of the design and prefer that the
handle enhance those curves. I intentionally washed out the grind lines
because it looked better that way.
For no justifiable reason, I prefer carbon steel and native American woods.
In this case I cheated a little bit by using an air hardening carbon tool steel
and stabilized wood. Oh well, no one's perfect
So here it is:
3/32 A2, full flat grind
Lightly spalted curly maple handle stabilized by K&G
