True Nessmuk Trio

[Gautier]

So, here I am, minding my own and reading threads like a good little knife nut and what happens? Koyote comes along and plays muse to me with his little "Pocket Nessmuk" and gets me to thinking.
I know there are a lot of Nessmuk pattern fans here in the WSS section of the forums, so I thought I'd ask a question.
We all know Thoreau, and have a rough idea of what the dimensions of his blade were, and the reasoning, etc.; I got to thinking though, if you were to make a trio, why not do it with some style and continuity.
My idea? A small blade for delicate tasks(ala Koyote's Pocket Nessmuk), a full sized Nessmuk(a la Fiddleback perhaps), and someone needs to make a great big machete style 14-18" tramontina like Nessmuk WAIT WAIT, here's the icing on the cake.
Piggy backed sheaths, dark leather, copper rivets maybe from largest to smallest. I don't know about the rest of ya, but I think it's a fine idea and sounds just sexy if you ask me. :thumbup: So, what say you?

hatchet is commom Formosa logger's tool serve as pocket axe (local named wood horse axe )does anyone know it's correct title?

pocket folding knife is call Shihlin (where it made)knife, it is made by a Chinese blacksmith immigrant in 188?, the blacksmith descendants said it was a French man taught their forefather how to make this pocket knife. It mostly use as electrcian knife or utility knife.

Thats cool. Dan Koster makes a bigun too.

And Muskrat Man makes a killer little three finger Nessie also.

That is interesting. It looks almost exactly like the Spyderco Lum Chinese. Now I know where the inspiration came from.
