I have never been a fan of the Nessmuk design.
My dad has a made in Shefield England knife of similar design that is older than he is.
It is an awesome butcher knife but I don't care for it out camping or hunting.
Though to be fair many people don't like the design of the knife that I posted a couple of pages back

Really nice knives however some purest would not consider them a Nessmuk style knife but rather a bullnose design.

I agree...and during the process of grind making he messed up tip...

Messed up?
I think he did a real nice job.
It may not be what he intended to do but it still is a fine job
I would be proud to make something like that

Still cool looking. Isnt the Muk more of the Bullnose design as well? Its not nearly as aggressive a hump in the blade more of a banana shape in a way.

That drawing I posted above is out of Sears book.
If you look at it, the blade is curved not straight.
It is bullnosed as well it is just that the blade and handle are not straight like most modern interpretations of it

Here is a more traditional looking Nessmuk knife http://www.oldjimbo.com/survival/racquette/nessmukbydale.html

I aplologize. I misunderstood what you meant. One of those sights would be an awesome resource. I would love to have a resource like that, and I am sure it would help a lot of people out.

I also wish this forum had an exchange because it doesn't seem like the SYKCO old knives come up as often on BF. I have had trouble finding a lot of older models I want to try out. I guess the old dogs have a stronger grip than the old hogs on the old goodies.

@coyotebc yes tip shouldn't be so rounded...

But he makes beautiful knives...

Here is that old Schrade I had mentioned earlier. Been thinking about restoring the handle, if my dad permits.

Check out the above forum for some information

So do you think the Sykco Muk should really even be considered a Nessmuk? Seem more to me Ness inspired but not an original style. Kinda modified Ness style or something.
