Cleaning some of my Behring Knives

The most amazing largest piece of Narwhal needed an amazing knife. James did an amazing job on this 3/8" thick 15" Scimitar two handed Narwhal knife. This beauty then needed the best from Mudbone Jones a Celtic Dragon Sheath.

Conan or Thor himself could appreciate this knife!

Larry

That is closer to a short sword than a knife. I like it.

That is some GORGEOUS cutlery!!!

I’m jealous!

I've seen this Monster someplace B4!!!!

=)

That is a huge Knife for sure!
Walker

Two great guys! Is Grant holding your knife James?

Tom Flynn

No sir. That's his Alaskan Pocket, that's actually the knife that started me down the BMK path.

I miss that pocket knife

I WASN'T gonna mention that... ...

The mind boggles at all the jokes going unsaid.
Tom. Great looking knife and sheath.

Dennis

James has associated himself with extraordinary sheath makers.

The beauty of his collaborations with these artists are the wow factor that the sheath adds to his knives.

This one is a re-handled M1914 Elsener Schwyz Swiss made sawback bayonet. It measures 18" long with a Crown Stag handle with an exquisite Amy Warlander sheath. I traded for this one with Warren.

Tom Flynn

That is really sweet. Bering did a great job, as did Amy on that sheath.

Behring Made Set Rosewood Burl pinned with checkering Goliath (12") and Southwest Bowie Fighter Pair. Copper engraved sub-hilt engraved FWI spacer and FWI bolster. The hammer-mark blades and etched finish define the set. Rowe Sheaths. James nailed this one from my initial sketch he had it all the way!

Tom Flynn

Tom,
Who did the engraving and checkering?
Awesome set!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

James took care of it all. The checkering was the person who does Cooper Firearms checkering.

Tom Flynn

That is what you call a Super Set. Very nice.

Wow Tom!!
Beautiful. James really did outstanding on those.

Very nice subhilt!

Tom, that's a very nice set.
Walker

As a matter of fact, the engraving was done by Rick Dunkerley- a top shelf art knife maker who lives here in Montana as well

Capt. Chris

Agreed-buttttt James had artistic license and that always turns out good!

Tom Flynn

Those are VERY NICE!!!!!!!

Okay, got me looking for the original Nessmuk knife.
Interesting history.

George Washington Sears (December 2, 1821 – May 1, 1890) was a sportswriter for Forest and Stream magazine in the 1880s and an early conservationist.
Sears was born in Oxford Plains, Mass., Dec. 2, 1821, the oldest of 10 children.
A young Narragansett Indian named Nessmuk (meaning “wood drake”) befriended him and taught him hunting, fishing, and camping. Later he took that name as his pen name.
Nessmuk favored a “trinity” system of cutting tools, his little double bit hatchet of his own design, a light fixed blade and a substantial Moose pattern folder.
Nessmuk’s views towards knives are arch-typical of the classic outdoorsmen; he preferred thin knives, keen edges, and a useable length.
The Nessmuk knife has recently regained popularity as a great little knife.
Its ergonomic shape and deep belly make it a great slicer and many prefer it for food preparation.

And… Very nice and unique knives, Tom!

Those sure are nice Tom.
Good gets for sure.
Walker

Thanks David for the research and to all!

James Behring has made some of the most extraordinary knives in my collection. I wanted a larger style Nessmuk, I like big knives LOL. These two knives go to Mudbone Jones for sheaths next; can't wait to see what he does! Pic's will follow when I get them in hand.

Tom Flynn

Wowza!!!

Pap
