Impressed!
I am a Fixed-blade knife collector and own a good handful of L.T. Wright, Bark River, Lon Humphrey, and WTG blades. Out of all blade shapes available; I am most proficient and in-love with the "Nessmuk" styled-blade shape. The large belly excels at skinning. However, I find it to be a very versatile blade shape for doing camp chores/wood work, food prep, and utility. This blade has a smooth spine; so, it will not strike a ferro rod. It makes up for this with having multi-positioned finger grips built into it's handle design by allowing you to perform very small and medium cutting tasks comfortably for it's size. I wear a Small/Medium glove and this knife seems to fit my hand just right. The carbon fiber handle in person is more beautiful than the pictures. This blade has been a near-perfect apple eating knife and steak cutter so far. Frankly, I was looking if MKM made a straight Tango version (non-pocket) @ 4-5" blade length- unfortunately, no. This knife is sexy and I wanted a bigger version of it. Oh well My favorite feature is actually the Sheath. It has that genuine Italian Leather smell and I can wear this knife literally in any article of clothing. Looks both cool and classy how it sits in it with plenty of handle access for ease of drawl. The magnet helps with retention- but, sheath tension does that fine on it's own. At first; the magnetic strap portion slips off when drawling the blade out. As the sheath breaks in more; the less it happens (rarely happens at all now). In conclusion; I think this is tied with my LT. Wright SNH as my favorite Urban EDC Fixed-blade. Super impressed with the sheath, ergos, shape, fit-and-finish, and versatility of this small knife. David C. Anderson knows knives: both he and Italy created a Gem. I love owning this tool. Thank you DCA, MKM, and Knife Center for providing such awesomeness! Looking forward to future Nessmuk prospects that DCA and/or MKM will bring us next!
