New sort of Nessmuk for a friend.
Well this is something I'm getting ready to gift to a friend.
It started out as a piece of stainless steel that my oldest son got for me. (forget the exact type but I think it hit right at 60 rockwell hardness after heat treat.)
It started out at 3/16 thick but is a bit thinner as it was smoothed up along the sides and tapered toward the point. (I'm gonna have to learn the fancy names for doing that stuff so I can sound more like I know what I'm up to)
The blade has a very slight hollow grind and sort of a false edge on the upper half but is left pretty thick. I have it up to a shaving edge, and made the handle pretty big to fit his hands.
Not worth the pic, but the best I could get the old camera to take.
Thad.
