Nessmuk in W2

[Flat Rock]

3/16" thick, clay Hamon W2 with ivory micarta handle scales and brass hardware.
Flat grind for a strong edge
American Veg tanned fitted leather sheath.
I would take this knife anywhere on the planet and be happy!
The Nessmuk might just be the perfect backcountry blade.

Very nice. I've always liked that blade style but never owned one.

That's a Beauty, right there. Is that blade a san mai forging? And those scales almost have a wood grain look to them. Wow!

[Edit] I just looked up clay hamon...I get it now. Nice temper line! Do you actually water quench?

No, I use a fast quench oil. Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it

Handsome knife but I'm partial to Nessmuk and Canadian pattern knives in general.

water quench?

Water is a good way to crack a blade.
