thanks Hukk. Got 4 new blades (new designs) ready for handles, but have some folders to embellish for folks first.

Hey Kaleb, I can't get any of your pics to come up here recently? ::shrug:: Just the darn red X thing. Are you doing anything different because it's just your posts I'm having trouble with. I hate missing out on your knives. Kelley

A generic cut and paste from a post I made on another forum, had a little fun today:

I had a couple nessmuks, one finished and a different design ready for scales and I figured I'd give them a go and see how they performed, especially the new one, becuase I was curious to see how the thinner stock (1/8") would hold up to abuse, Did some chopping on oak mostly and took the finished one and did some work on 2x4's. My dad was the commentator and chopper becuase I'm the only one who knows how to run the camera :).

Here's the new design:

side by side. They both are 7" x 5" the one with handles is 3/16" 5160 the other is 1/8" L6 with a very high slightly convex scandi grind (no we didn't chop all that oak with the knives, that's our wood pile, fire ring is just to tthe left)

Here's a couple video of the 5160 nessmuk in action
