Some process pictures of a freshly finished Nessmuk style knife

[Ariel Salaverria]

This was a custom order from the same customer that got the cable damascus one
(http://www.aescustomknives.com.ar/docs/knifemakingnessmuk.htm)


Acid etched O1, differentially hardened, 1/8" thickness.
4" blade, 8" overall length.

Handle was made from red deer stag and the bolster is polished leather and enameled copper, same as the butt cap.


Profiled blade in place with the rest of the parts
