Thanks Kerri. I guess my post was a little unclear. My intention was to echo your opinion on the Kepharts and Nessmuks. My question was directed towards Lisa, wondering if she had any pictures of the Nessmuks she's made.
... never hurts to see a little Turley goodness though! That one you got there sure is nice.

ive heard 52100 might even be a tab better than A2Thanks to all! Good ideas. Ill look, I know I have some pics of the Nessmuks we have done in the past..I have 5/32 O1 coming in, along with 1/8" O1 so we are good there..I also have some 5/32" 52100..I dont know how many of you have exp with 52100 but its a great steel too..Im getting all this and keeping it wrote down for referance..keep those ideas coming
I have a recent Kephart in 1/8 inch stock- 4.5 inch blade, 4.5 inch handle. It was for my wife, who is finding she loves it for slicing and kitchen prep work. I think it is still heavy enough to make a good outdoor blade, and would not really see a benefit to going thinner on the blade. JMO/ YMMV.

I know this is part of the creek with custom knives, but I'd love to see you guys do something entry level like your hawks you've been making in the past year, maybe with a few patterns for choices. May not be possible price wise, but a plain jane handle (or blade and rivets only) with a lower performance steel that would be forgiving on beginning knife sharpeners.
5/32 Nessmuk ! With ironwood scales !
How about Lignum Vitae scales?
Here is all the pictures I could find of the nessmuks..I know we had more..Sorry about the top pic being small, its all Ive got of that one..
Kind of a larger camp butcher knife style Nessmuk
I really really like that top one
