I cut this out of a Adirondack Guide, tapered the tang, added Red Stag, and made a sheath when bored off my tits during some foul weather some years ago. The reverse curve at the top of the blade allows easy access to a butter container...so of course it just sits in my leatherwork box for when I muck about with leather. Whoever designed the Adirondack Guides must have hands like a teenage girl, so I made the handle on this one heavier to suit. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Would you also use them occasionally as kitchen utensils as noted above???? Tim "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."

They are old stock from a hardware store that was one of the oldest in MA when it closed in the late 1970's. They were in an old wooden box in the attic with 50,000lbs. of other old and forgotten inventory.

Can't say why, but in the last year or so I've become infatuated with the Nessmuk style blade. I inquired in that regards to a number of makers. So far Gene is the only one that took me serious. In conversation I asked if he would consider undertaking to make a combo Nessmuk set. IIRC, Mr. Ingram said that that he had not made a Nessmuk style blade before. I texted a picture of a RW Loveless Modified Nessmuk. Well fast forward a couple months and we talked again. He indicated he would like to make the combo but wanted it to be his interpretation of a Nessmuk. I told him to have at it. My only two stipulations were that I wanted A2 steel for the blade and that these were not to be "frilly", but rather a working set. The rest was up to him. Well I got this combo set in the mail last Saturday. To say the least I am ecstatic. The Desert Ironwood is one of my fav's and was a total surprise. anywho, I'm jazzed! ya! GWB A Kill Artist.

The lowest two have got to be 19th centry. You should see the stuff that came out of this place.

Nessmuk liked a fixed blade of moderate size, a folder, and an ax. For what it's worth, mine is a Tim Olt knife, a Swiss Army One Handed Trekker folder, and a small Wetterlings Ax. These have gone on many camping trip. Sam......
