Pale Maple Nessmuk

Stefano — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 08:34:37 +0000

This is the nessmuk that I love best. It is made from luthiery grade striped maple that we use for tops in guitars, violins and basses. The handles are only slightly coloured and than oiled. The results are in my humble opinion not in this pictures rendering very well.
It is a great cutter can do a lot of task, from food processing to camp activities in a flash. It’s a great utility knife.

And theyr contoured handles are really fitting like a glove in the hand. It is my lovely preferite shape of handles and I think i will do more like this. It’s like disappearing in the hand and who works with knives knows how much is valuable this feeling.

It sports a 120mm (4.7″) 3mm (.118″) D2 carbon steel tempered for high resistance in cutting rather than wear resistance. Scandi to zero grind. Handles are in this gorgeous Slovenian Striped Maple(it looks like 3D!) and are about 110mm (4.3″) with sturdy brass Corby bolts and red spacers.

An handmade sheat is next coming, the one in picture is made by a friend of mine but it is a bare blade protection not a sheat.

Hope you will like it.

Honey Maple Nessmuk

This a classical nessmuk. I wanted to do one of this like the Sears suggestions, my way.
I always express satisfaction and love when seeing these kind of knives because they really works, they really looks gorgeous (always) and they really are “knives”.

This knife has a blade made in O2 carbon steel, about 110mm (4.3″) long, 4mm (.157″) thick. As the thickness and the convex to zero grind are suggesting that this nessie will support also medium to camp tasks plus the “normal” processing tasks as small wood, food and so forth.

Handles are in this Slovenian Striped Maple, light coloured to a gold honey with brass Corby rivets and red liners.

There are some small heat-treating pits left in the grinds. Instead to do a higher grind that leaves more room for weaknesses I left them. They also gives more characther to the blade without affecting the performance.
You like it or not in my opinion are better than a fake polished look.

Hope you will like it!
Cheers!

Two Nessmuks in Striped Maple

These are two lovely knives made with love. I was really fascinated in reading Sears and about the nessmuk. I totally agree with that philosophy for a knife that should do so much tasks in a fashionable way and it does not seems like a weapon or making you a robbery expert.

These are my two nessmuks. The first is a from top is made from a lightly coloured striped maple.
More details on these cute cutters will follow!

Here it is out of the oven of today. Hard and fatiguing, also the hot temperature of these days will not help.
All these knives are well heat treated> they will be great fixed knives!

Here just about out from the hardening…

After a temper that gives the final hardness

I fell in love while reading the history of the Nessmuk. A knife has to be not so aggressive, has not to look as a thievery thingy, has to cut food and work as well. Also it has to be lightweight and performing.

Here are my freshly grinded variations about the Nessmuks.
One is in O2, the other will be in D2 steel so different choices and tastes.
If someone is interested or can give some suggestions feel free to write me.

They fit exceptionally well in the hand, for sure they will be great cutters and users.

Cheers!
