Re: Nessmuk knife

The old hickory skinner came in. Like the green river skinner this has a
thicker blade than the butcher knives by old hickery or the hunter or or
Dadley by green river. I decided to take a chance on turning my less than
ten dollar investment into trash and ground it down to make a Nessmuk. The
blade is now about the same length as a Dadly but much stronger. It leans
back from the base to the tip. Looks a lot like a spear point and I rounded
off the back. I have a cheap sheath that will fit it.

This is a very sturdy and I think durable knife that would stand up to years
of use. I think the steel is okay. The scales look like very dark hickory. I
assume heart wood. If they don't have some sort of penitrating oil finish on
them they look like they do. Not sure when I will get the chance to test it
out but I can understand why a man would want to carry a knife like this.
You could pay a lot more and end up with a lot less knife. This is about the
right size for easy carry.

Happy Easter and don't none of you go shotting the Easter bunny.
