it won't be a muk if he doesn't keep it. i hope it's thin stock too, another essential feature.

I like the one Dan Melone made from an Ontario skinning knife.

I remember that one!
I thought it was pretty cool too.

yeah. ther are many great nessmuks made by bf'ers for a decent price.

just read through the design thread. i hope Jerry didn't listen to those who asked for a .25" thick nessie. i'd go for .1", thinner the better. they should call it "prybar forum."

theirs a design thread!?!
where!?

The over-all blade shape is OK, but I think it is a little tall (????)
I do like the shallow slow curve of the edge and consider that to be the most important part of a knife.
The Full height grind on this design is good. And I know the general handle shape is good. But, needs some tweaks IMO.

*** This is another knife where I wish Jerry would get the Talon Holes off an otherwise potentially good knife. The over-sized guard and over-sized choil are a detriment to these smaller to mid-sized knives IMO.

Also, I would prefer a tighter radius in the grip area at the index finger.

What I don't know about this knife is the blade length.

This is just a quick photochop, but I think this would be an improvement:






...... Aside from that, the "Yard" Muk would be an entirely different knife with Res-C. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> - And I am not willing to pay $300 - $500 for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

.

looks good KG, can you photoshop some res-c on it
I would like to see that

The final Bussmuk will probably be 15" long, 3" wide, and .5" thick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> It will be "under $1000" in crinkle coat.

were you being serious vic?

No, just kidding. The final version will likely be similar to the prototype shown and sell for maybe $300 or so is my best guess.

I will tinker with it tonight. I have to run for now.

But, for the record, Scrap-Weiler concept first, then SS-3.5 or Skelly concept. This one would need to go down the line a ways. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think it will be a struggle for this to be what I would want with Res-C.... although, Mudder grips might work on this blade.... ???
