I had a chance to jump on the end of the CKE2 nessmuk passaround, and boy am I glad I did...
Its a great interpretation. It has a very slim profile, making it just right for neck or pocket carry. The shape of the blade is well done, and the grind is sort of a hybrid scandi convex that cuts really well!! With an OAL of 6.5in, and a 3in cutting edge, its a great knife in a small package.
Ive had it awhile, and used it alot in the kitchen for food prep. It makes short work of trimming steaks and slicing veggies. I took it outside today for some work, I did various things we like to see like fuzzin out on a stick, and sharpining a stick, and notching etc... Its a great utility knife, and seemed to be pretty comfy despite its thin profile. I think it would benifit alot from some full rounded scales, but that would reduce its packability alot, which is one of the great appeals of this blade. It tucks away, is light, sharp, and sheeple friendly.
I have drifted away from this pattern of knife, but this one really made me find that old appriciation for the Nessmuk pattern. It is a great knife, thank you Craig for the opportunity to play with this one, and for rekindling my interest in this pattern. You make a great knife.
I didnt take too many pics as my cameras betteries died, but I managed to get a few....
comparision shot with the Gunny and a Brusletto Scandi...
fits well in the hand for a knife this size!!
some woodworkin...
ultra lightweight thin design!!
The hybrid convex scandi edge really bites well in the wood and is easily maintained!!!
