My biggest surprise about the new Muk was the thinner handle slabs, it's a good thing though, I like'm!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice pictures Jeff. Thanks. As you mentioned elsewere, The G10 is heavier than the Micarta. Mine is certinly handle heavy with a balance point about 1.5" back from the bolster face and weighs 8.1 oz. on my scale. Where does a Micarta Muk balance and weight?

It balances right behind the first eyelet/rivet. The weight is 7.8 oz. It doesn't make as much difference on these handles, but on some of the thicker handles knives you can easily feel the weight difference.

Well I dyed the handles, now I like it even more!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/rainwalker15/DyedMuk1.jpg) And here's a modern take on the Nessmuk trio. What do you think of this combo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/rainwalker15/BMukCombo1.jpg)

I was wondering for a minute there, I thought it was some form of a knife with the tip broken off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

It's actually a LMAX by Nemesis, I didn't like the handle so I've been working on a new handle. So Far it's working out pretty well, I want to be able to fold it and easily for store in small pack. Here it is in another position. The handle is a work in progress. So far so good though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I thought it made a nice modern addition to the Muk. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/rainwalker15/NEAX2.jpg)

One of the things that got me interested in it was that the head is made of S7. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I figured that since Dan made some good S7 blades, that this one might be good. So far it does really well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
