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 62mm high carbon carving blade made in Finland! I like this one with a neat piece of hickory and a piece of Reindeer antler for a guard! The Spacers between are from aluminum and vinyl spacers. Pretty neat how he did this. Although it is a stubby little handle, it is quite a nice piece and comfortable.
The Sheath is hand sewn, hand stitched oil tanned cowhide with a carved wooden insert inside. Simple yet neat design.
