The top one is from Scott Gossman, the bottom one is from Razorback Knives. Both in O1. Truth be told, I really preferred working with Scott, the guy from Razorback was a grouchy old man!

PS - Love them both, thanks again Scott!

Thank you. :thumbup: Something about that word razorback that seems to really irritate me.

There are a lot of great knives in this thread.

What is the intended use of the Nessie design?

Hi!

My understanding is that the Nessmuck knife started life as a butcher knife, but was modified to the general form you see in these knives, with a humped blade and little point.

It's general use was as a camp knife for food prep and skinning game.

Thanks for the response, Andy.

Your description of it's uses make perfect sense by looking at it's design. It does look a quite useful butcher knife.

I've held of purchasing one for quite some time now. I may pick one up eventuall just to give the design a try in the woods. It looks like it would be right at home in the camp kitchen.

I'm not sure why it strikes me this way, but the blade shape looks subdued and people "friendly".

I had a custom knife that was shaped like ray mears and Fallkniven f1 recently fail on me. I ended up getting a canada knife belt d.h. russel style, which is similiar to these nessies. I can tell you that these leaf shapes seem to be a bit better at camp chores, and skinning, "with small games have not tried it on big game" The blade point isn't really made for stabbing if you are looking to make small incision. These knives seem to have curve handles, which is extremely comfortable imo and gives you better control. This type of handle isn't meant for reverse grip grip.

Gerry Drew made this one...very balanced & feels great in the hand.

I didn't want to be left out of the fun. I had a nice shot lined up yesterday of my Fiddleback w/ desert ironwood scales doing kitchen duty (making goulash) with a bunch of paper thin slices of tomato that I sliced, but my wife was out and about with the good camera and my cell phone took a crappy blurry photo, so here's a repost.

I had to get a pic of my new Fiddleback nessie in here. I borrowed this pic from Andy. All I have to say is the picture does no justice to how awesome the Osage looks on this knife.

Here's my SDS, which I have been enjoying greatly.


Full flat ground 154cm blade, stabilized curly maple handle, stainless corby bolts and lanyard hole. Deerskin lanyard with bead from the same wood as the handle.


WHOOPS - WHERE'S THE PIC? SORRY . . . .
