NKNK20: NK-20 Vertebrae

Nemesis Knives

Nemesis Knives fills the gap between the truly handmade knife and the mass-produced product. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing methods, both here and abroad, enables Nemesis to maintain product consistency and meet demand. Although Nemesis benefit from the tight tolerances the latest technology provides, each knife still requires careful assembly, hand fitting, and final finishing before it can leave their shop. This extra attention to detail is evident in the end product.

Nemesis Knives is a nimble company that presents trend-setting custom designs to a wide audience. Their focus is to always create fresh, exciting products for you to use and enjoy and to market them without a lot of needless superlatives. Nemesis Knives produces a high caliber product that represents good value—one that you will be proud to own.

The NK-20 Vertebrae was designed by custom knifemaker Rick Haney out of Chattanooga, TN, based on his custom model with the same name. It is a terrific EDC tool with a large amount of belly and just the right balance of strength to weight ratio. The 3.625" 9Cr13CoMoV sheepsfoot blade is hollow ground for additional sharpness with a brushed satin finish, lightly jimped thumb ramp, and thumb slot opening method. The blade rotates open smoothly and locks up tightly, riding on a caged ball bearing pivot system with a superb detent. Whether you use your middle or index finger to flick the blade open, this knife can and will accommodate. The skeletonized handle is made from highly textured G10 over stainless steel liners with a tip-down, right carry pocket clip and a perfectly jimped lockbar face for excellent purchase. It's a very stout, capable design for its size and its smooth action makes it a very enjoyable everyday carry.

Not Bad
I was drawn in by the looks. Took a minute to break in. The little handle it has is pretty aggressive and tears my pocket up. No lanyard hole, no flicker bar. The only way to actuate the blade is the blade hole. Easier to flick with the finger than the thumb for some reason. When open you don't have much handle to work with. I have a larger hand and it feel skinny. I like the blade but the jimping on top of the spine is pretty aggressive and pointy. Pocket clip is great. liner lock is smooth. Very sharp out of the box. My favorite thing about it is the look.

Geat Blade
I've had this knife for several months now and had it in rotation with two other brands; a CIVIVI with the same steel and a WE Practic M-390 steel.I use my knives like I stole'm not like I own'em. M390 performs like a champ . . . and of course costs like it. That being said The 9cr steel in the Vertebrae took some doing for me to find the edge the strop it to the edge I wanted. opening boxes cutting bands, hard yard work this fall, and actually using it in the kitchen! this knife and this steel perform quite well.Stellar would be an apt description at this price. Some compare it to AUS 8A it far out preformed that steel. so the heat treat and the grind on the blade make this knife well worth the money. i have batoned it through 2X4's and branches pryed things apart. in other words this knife will do a days work. If I payed $100 or more I wouldn't do this to it, but I didn't So get out there guys and beat on those EDC's and then review them. Thanks.

Good outdoor Tradesman Knife Good value
Bought the item based on looks and blade material.It is a little large for EDC but still acceptable. The edge had a burr which did not redily strop out but other wise the knife was sharp. The skeletonized handle keeps it light and slim. barely noticeable in my pocket. the blade is big enough to do some bigger brush work on the river I live by, heavy vines, saplings and such. The edge is holding up and banana boxes are delt with dispatch. I'm pleased to put it in my EDC rotation.
