New Mountain #9 Good Not Great

This otherwise very attractive puukko possesses 2 flaws: 3 sheath inlays which do not align & a blade that's mounted slightly off the centerline of handle. Purely personal criticism, but as usual for NM, handle is too thick even for my XL hands, & 3 1/8-in high carbon Lauri blade is rather short. Love the rose color in box elder handle & inlays. Like birch bark spacers around nearly white reindeer antler contrasting w/ grey r. antler guard above & that both shades coordinate w/ those in same-rack sheath. Also like that sideseam upper sheath is somewhat soft leather & how dangler is attached at rear. Were this knife around $300, I'd keep it, but for $459.99, I expect near perfection which #9 does not approach, so it's going back to Redbeard to re-sell to someone less picky.

Description

New Mountain Knives LLC is a newly formed business by Chris Nyberg who has been making knives for over twenty years.  The blades are all Scandinavian made and sourced from Ragweed Forge.  The handle materials almost always include both antler and wood while using variety of spacer materials.  The wood and most antler is all harvested or sourced by the maker locally in central NY.  All knives are finished with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil gunstock finish which is a linseed oil based finish that looks great and is easy to refinish if necessary.  All knives come with sheaths inspired by Scandinavian design made by New Mountain Knives. Leather sheaths all have a wood liner but some knives are lucky and come with matching antler or wood sheaths.  New Mountain Knives is open to custom orders using antler, wood, or a blade that has some special meaning to you.

This knife started with a Lauri 80mm high carbon blade made in Finland! This one is super neat neat with the Pink coloring, and some spalted look coming through the Box elder and 2 pieces of Reindeer antler for a guard. Birch bark spacers in between! The Handle is fairly large so better for someone with larger hands.

This one is my favorite blade length so I also think this one would make quite the carver as well. Neat piece here.

The Sheath is hand sewn, hand stitched oil tanned cowhide with a carved wooden insert inside.

The bottom portion of the sheath is made from reindeer antler with 3 pieces of boxelder inlayed . This really took some time. Really nice

The knife fits quite nicely into this sheath and you can be sure it would not fall out on accident. The Dangler surely helps make this a great EDC.
