Modified Nessmuk (photos added)

[TK Steingass]

Greetings All,

This client asked for my modified Nessmuk blade design, with a Loveless style handle, rope filework on the spine (my first), "Nessmuk" on the obverse side of the blade, all capped off with a hamon on 1095 steel. I managed to squeeze in some thumb serrations too. Stabilized spalted hackberry, red liners on a tapered tang, horizontal carry sheath. Needless to say, it was priced accordingly! All comments welcome.

V/R,

TK

Damn! I love that transition from the spine, to the gimping, and tang. Looks so clean.

Great job on the file work Tim, and that spalted Hackberry is really outstanding.
