Nessy with elk and maple

[Nifeman]

Hey fellers, finished up a Nessy last week and got Miss Tudy to make a rawhide sheath for it. Di something a little different on this one. I used a maple burl for a spacer and a piece of scrap brass for the pommel.
The sheath has a veg tanned liner and on the fringe, Tudy used some beads and a bobcat toe bone. hope y'all like and as usual we appreciate it...

Very nice :thumbsup: I think old Ness would have been proud to own it.

Nifeman, that's one of sweetest knife-and-sheath combinations you and Miss Tudy have created.
Ya'll need to be proud.
That reminds me, I have one of your Nessmuk blades somewhere and it is begging to be finished. I'll be a lucky fellow if I can come up with anything 5 percent as nice as that fine article.

I would be proud to wear that knife and sheath. Both very fine. :thumbsup:
But, I'm puzzled by the "Nessy" reference. What does it mean? :idunno:

Very nice!

Should have said it's in the Nessmuk style, with the upswept blade and hump towards the tip. For me they help control during delicate skinning...Bud

I Googled Nessmuk style knife images and, of course, got a variety on the style. But, in all, I like that upswept blade and am taking a fancy to it. Hhmmmm......do I feel a project urge coming on me..... :hmm:

All it takes is time and effort :grin: ...Bud
