Ya Know, If I Owned a Fiddleback Nessmuck....

Wednesday (Hump Day) would take on a whole new meaning

Just sayin'. Perhaps I need to pick up one, I'm really digging the tweaks in the new one a lot!

I've got my eye on your future posts then. I'd love one of those puppies.

You know, I've never been able to figure out the whole nessmuk thing and I've never been all that interested in one. But I have to agree with you Mist. Andy's new and improved model is pretty cool.

You buy the nessmuk. You take to the woods and find a shady tree, have lunch, and use the Nessmuk to help make lunch. You lay back and listen to the stillness, and the nessmuk acts as sort of a antennae that showers you with good vibes and you begin to understand what he said when he talked about "smoothing it"

Thanks HD.

Glad to see you are still around.

Yep, I love the new handle shape, and the grind on this one really appeals to me.

Mist...GO FOR IT dude...I got one and I was and am very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is. I haven't used it but I can definitely see the functionality and handiness of the knife. Not only that...if it brings peace and serenity in the woods for a guy...who cares how it works....LOL

Yes. I agree definite "must have" in your FBF collection. My wife took my new Nessy so I had no choice but to get my own!

Yeah, I have never really been drawn to most of the Nessmucks I have seen, but I do really like the new tweaks a lot, and find myself looking more and more at these when he posts them. It's funny, I never wanted a Kephart either, till Andy brought out his interpretation of it, and I fell in love with it. Nearly a year later it's still my favorite bushcraft knife. Maybe Andy is just magic and the Nessie will have the same effect, I do really like the lines of the new one very much. I know right, for that who cares how it does it

Yep, wives are funny that way. Mine has snagged a couple of my smaller Fiddlebacks, I've had to lay down the law and explain that a few of them are just off limits other than her occasionally using them and that's that lol.
