New Mountain Knives - Puukko #4

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 85mm high carbon carving blade made by Karesuando! I like this one with a Beautiful piece of walnut and a piece of Elk antler for a guard! The Spacers between are from aluminum and Vulcanized fiber. Pretty neat how he did this. The angle of the blade in the handle would make this a better user for someone who was right handed. 

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