Monster Nessie

After designing and making a few hundred of my Nessmuk knife I began to get inquiries about a larger version.  I had some scrap 3″ wide 5160 carbon steel laying around and decided to see “How Much Nessmuk” I could get out of it.  The results?  The Monster Nessie (wordplay on Loch Ness Monster).  I made a few prototypes and sent them out for testing.  What an amazing chopper.  Heavy enough in the blade for cleaving, thin enough grind for slicing.  I think half my Monster Nessie buyers use theirs in the kitchen as well as outdoors.  The Monster Nessie got a very nice write up in Tactical Knives by Tim Stetzer.  You can read about it here: http://www.tactical-life.com/online/tactical-knives/the-monster-man/

Blade Specs:

I make this knife from 2 different steels: 5160 carbon steel and 3V carbon steel.  Both are the toughest in their class, but 3V is in a class all its own.

8.5″ of 3V steel, hardened to 58 HRc, 0.268″ thick, Flat grind, “As-Forged” finish on flats, satin-finish on grind, spine rounded at handle front

Handle Specs:

5.5″ long, made from 1/4″ thick handle material, aluminum corby pin and lanyard tube
All synthetic handles (Micarta, G10, etc) are heavily sandblasted for a super grippy better-when-wet finish
