I'm very impressed. First of all I love the nessmuk, it's such a versatile knife. The handle wood is of course lovely, as is only expected from cocobolo, but the way it works with the rough finish on the back of the blade seems to tie it all together.
Overall, I think what impressed me most was your technique, I've seen knives made by forging and stock removal, but never thought to combine the two, seems very effective.
All in all, minus a star for originality because while they are indeed gorgeous knives, the nessmuk has been around and the full tang makes it kind of a safe design. Full marks for vision because even for such a utilitarian blade you've managed to make them very attractive. Perfect score for technique as well, a method I've never seen anyone else use and a very enjoyable video to watch. Which of course leads into the score for impact, I might have to dust off my old angle grinder and adopt it myself, I think I can scrounge up a few lawnmower blades.

I dig the raw billet look. Nice work again.

What kind of wood did you use for the handle? Looking at it closer, their grain and pattern seem different, but very fitting for the knife.

Both are cocobolo, but one was a little better. I usually get the lower looking one most of the time. But I am at the mercy of the people sending me the wood. lol
