    Been playing with this rough prototype the last day or so. Really, really like this design. Wish I had a deer to skin. I'm learning why this style is so nice. Very light. Thin blade. It's designed for what knives should be designed for--cutting things. Not batoning 8" hickory rounds. Not killing Zombies. Not prying open a car door. Just cutting stuff that needs cutting. This is for you, @Bushman5 ....

    I've tried a few similar knives on deer over the years. I always seem to come back to a drop point. Although the buck 103 does occasionally get used

    Looks like the original blade shape was kept in mind. That's what I did on my rendering:

    I always knew you were a thin wood kind of guy.

    How thin is the new knife? ESEE 3 style? 1/8th?

    That's what I'm saying.
    Strong enough to baton some serious wood, and still do finer tasks.
    Just thinking about it is giving me some "serious wood" :eek::D

    It's very thin. Certainly not 3/16. Maybe 2/16? 4/32? 8/64? Somewhere around there.

    The original was also thin. Sears said that, "The [knife] shown in the cut is thin in the blade, and handy for skinning, cutting meat, or eating with."

    Anything over 1/8" for a nessmuk is blasphemy. This is one blade that's just simply not meant for hard use. It's meant to be a mean slicer, and be used as a kitchen utensil for scooping food.
