Congrats Chris. Always liked how you don't follow the herd and, if anything, fight it. The world needs more free thinking people. This design really looks effective. You are getting more actual cutting edge for a given blade length for one and the belly naturally penetrates due to less immediate surface area. I liked how you showed how effective the rocking otion is. The way it sticks out below the handle makes it a better food processor also. This is a design that will take off. I would be pretty proud of it.
Wow Chris you did not skimp on anything in design or materials eg. 01 steel and a Scandi grind .... the sheath also matches the quality of the knife . Bravo !
finally got one...been using the hell out of it since I got it. prepping wood, food, cutting down boxes, starting ferro fires....man, I'm stopping at surgery on living things....I love this knife!!!
Ray Mears uses both these techniques at the same time (as in for the same stick) and throws in a third one. I try to emulate it in my video called 'feather sticks explained' and it works very well when you combine the tip-up, straight and tip-down methods.
Again... Great review. I love big belly knives. Always have. They just feel right and slice better in my hands. For me the ergonomics leaves my hands less tired and worked. thanks again for your reviews. UA-cam has saved me a lot of trial and error money. Your channel is one of my goto channels especially for knives.
Craig Hudson I'm waiting for someone to twist my words at the end and say that I said everyone is going to copy my knife. I'm saying I believe knives with more belly than straight edge are going to make a resurgence for utilitarian bushcraft knives. Can you imagine a Mora with a belly?? It would be insane. CRKT has a bush crafter with a belly I want to try. I just think it works better. But I stop with the belly-knives at about this size. Beyond that, I'm more traditional. I have a custom from LT that will be done soon that is a 7" blade like what I try to mod my BK7s into and without the combat knife stuff like a upper false edge.
Hi youtubeur, I just ordered one that should arrive next week. I find this tool incredibly beautiful. I do not intend to use it, it will join my collection and will be a superb jewel in my exhibition cabinet. Thank you for your great videos, they are above the lot, much better than others who do the show. JC, Belgium (EU)
Brian Drexler I wish I still had the one I fully jessified before my youtube channel was started. I called that "Woody Woodwrecker". Hollow ground chopper from hell! I just HATED that damn handle.
Robert Ware So far, Mike Travis (Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors) is the only person to have skinned anything with it. Looking forward to after-hunting reports this year.
Nice design Chris. Its great to see something different in a bushcraft design. I was getting a little tired of the classic design. I know they work but its nice to have some variety and innovation. I look forward to getting a JX2 of my own. Best of luck with it and keep up the great Vids !
LT has made the handle look nice. My allrounder is the Bk5, it has nearly twice the cutting edge of a 4-5 inch blade knife, slices, dices and carves like a bushcraft knife and can do light chopping. It's a kitchen knife raised by survival knives- or wolves.
George Washington Sears or Nessmuk, was the original designer of a Knife using the huge Roach belly, Yours is a deeper roach belly than his, I like that Deep sweep myself, I think it will be a great all around woods knife. Great Design Idea Chris.
So far so good, looks promising. Would like to see you do some camp crafting with it ala Dave Canterbury style as well as fishing/hunting chores. Also interested in how it fares in wet environments where handling is more crucial. Wouldn't mind testing it out myself.
Thanks LT and Chris !! Can't even put into words the quality and superb design of this knife. Got mine today. Didn't realize I was buying something so good I can pass down to my children. Very happy for you guys, and hope the second run sells out just as fast.
looks good I like 1/8 to 5/32 the best for carving tasks they have much more gooder dexterity than the thicker knives! that was a bushcraft term you can use it if you want lol! I was trying to carve a wood cork for fishing while I was deerhunting last year just to pass the time and I found out real quick that my schf38 had half the dexterity that my bk9 had that extra 1/16 made a huge difference in the knifes ability to get the job done
Chris, you finally talked me into it, received mine in 3v last week. You designed a great fixed blade knife. Right on......works and does what it has to do, fantastically. ..
Yeah im liking the curves on this thing for sure. I noticed some people talkin a little smack, who cares. Im actually building some knives myself, and i really enjoy my Rat 3. But one of my builds is (for me) an improved upon version of the Rat3. And ive made the blade taller from spine to edge, and i didnt make it any longer. So, obviously its ending up with a much more drastic curve up to the tip. Not even fully completed with the fine touches yet, but everyone who lays eyes on this thing has quite a reaction, and theyr even more blown away when i tell them i made it from scratch. So all you jealous people out there, grow up would ya, go get yourself a JX2 Jessmuk and be merry
The JX2 Jessmuk looks to be a good knife, Chris Tanner. I like the design especially with its large belly. Seeing it now for the second time what comes to mind is the Canadian knife I've seen offered by Bark River; or, rather, elements of the Canadian knife. I enjoyed the video.
I really dig the knife, and the versatility of it. Definitely a most have in my kit! I will predict the JK2 Jessmuk WILL BECOME A BEST SELLER IN THE BUSHCRAFT CIRCLE. JK2 IS SIMPLY BRILLIANT.
I have said this to you before, I have been looking forward to this knife, for me there is a lot to like about this design. LTWK and you are on a winner with this knife,
Just got my Jessmuk today, and I wanted to let you know how great of a design you made! The grip is like my GNS, which is super comfy. Everything about this knife is effective, and I love how it handles. Thanks Chris, you rock!
Its worth mentioning that though Mors Kochanski did say the belly of the blade looked more suited for skinning than working wood when I showed him the pictures, he DID have positive things to say about the Jessmuk. Mors requires a continuously curved blade on a good bushcraft knife, which the Jessmuk has to the max, so he loved that. He also loved the scandi grind, which is a must have for him. Being able to strike a ferro rod? Check!. Without me actually having the knife there to give him to hold and use, there's no way he could comment on handle comfort, which reviewers of the knife have been very positive about. I'm currently tracking my Jessmuk in the mail. Can't wait to get it.
Bushcraft Canuck I wanted to get one in his hand. He's not easy to contact directly. Not even for a video, I'd just like to hear his option using it. Thanks for showing him the pics! That's about as close as I could expect. Of course...you are Mors-trained, and you'll have yours in a week and a half.
+PREPAREDMIND101 Yeah, put a knife in Mors Kochanski's hand....no one would doubt his review of it...and yes I trust yours and the others that tried it reviews...just saying...Mors is the man... (why can't I tag anyone??)
I've seen that. I want to try it. The blade on it is the closest I've seen to mine. If it's good, it might be a good alternative for people on a stricter budget.
This is awesome. Looks like something I would make. Good choice of steel and handle, but I'm surprised you don't have a choil in the blade but it looks like you can still get a good choke on it. Nice knife, Chris.
Chris...I was browsing the below comments quickly and some crazy dude named James Pablos, who appears to be married to a small white dog, brings up an accidentally interesting point. The Condor Nessmuk does have obvious similarities and is surely one of the closest knives out there to this new Jessmuk. The Jessmuk's belly is even more radical though, the spine is very different of course, and the Jessmuk's handle is more rounded & far more sophisticated. With that said, if you look at the two knives side by side, the similarity is obvious if not striking. Chris designed his blade off of another knife all together anyhow...so ya, interesting point raised by the crazy guy in a loving relationship with a small white dog, but phrased in a dickish manner...as one might expect from a crazy guy in a loving relationship with a small white dog. I love this knife Chris - great design!
+scott sherman I don't think so at all. There are dozens and dozens of variations on a Nessmuk. I think the CRKT Bushcrafter looks even closer. But when you are a knife designer and someone that handles a LOT of knives, general similarities don't account for much. There are blades with sweeping edges. There are blades with Nessmuk humps. The Nessmuk and CBK are such old designs that there are hundreds and hundreds of knives that resemble them. Same with other bushcraft staples, like the Kephart and French Trade Knife. Every time detail counts as a difference. That's why a knife has to be like 6% different or less before another company can sue. All knives resemble other knives in some way. Aside some the VERY specific blade sweep, another key feature of the Jessmuk is the sharp drop point is specific in order to give a straight, sharp point exactly centerline to the knife body...something I haven't seen. It's been brought up countless times in the past week, especially regarding the TOPS SXB and the Tom Brown Tracker. A lot of people look at the SXB and they just see a big Tracker. Doesn't matter how different they are, that's what they see. Hell, anytime Schrade releases ANYTHING, people say "That looks like ______". There are only so many ways to make a knife. They are all going to somewhat resemble another. But the Condor Nessmuk and the LT Jessmuk?? Not even close in my world.
+PREPAREDMIND101 I think this is a case of us agreeing and not realizing it. I get that you're hyper sensitive about people saying the Jessmuk is "just like" this or that knife, I would be too...it's tough to come up with an original idea in the knife world, and you've done just that, and it's going to require you battling the ill-informed who claim that it's a copy of their favorite knife....that's why I specifically called out some of the biggest differences and just tried to convey a general "similarity" between the two, because when you put the two knives together, they undeniably look more alike than the vast majority of other knives out there....that's all I was saying....and that point was only worth making at all because I got to point out the insane picture that James P. uses! So ya, I'm in total agreement with your defense of the Jessmuk as an original and quite different design than anything out there....or at least anything I've seen, and obviously anything you've seen, as you've stated multiple times. Songs are the same way...experts get together before and during a lawsuit to decide if song A is enough like song B for some old has-been to get some cash from a new artist....and again, I completely agree with you that the Jessmuk would stand up to the legal or otherwise scrutiny of originality. I'm with you bro....but I'm not with James, not until he can explain that picture to me.
Some people say it is not good trying to reinvent the knife and that this blade form doesn't work as fine as the usual blade form for bushcraft. What do you tell those guys? I ask, cause i am gonna buy my first bushcraft knife and doesn't really know if i should get this one. i like the look, but i am not that experienced.
Personally, not the biggest fan of PM101....so why am I starting by saying such? Because I have several LT Wright knives, including Genesis Scandi, Genesis Sabre, Bushcrafter, and NOW the Jessmuk by Mr Tanner. I absolutely love the knife. It's an ugly work horse that simply gets the job done. So I've not based my personal opinion of the knife because I am an avid PM101 fan, but rather because the knife is a win. There is a slight learning curve to using it, but very quickly has become my primary carry knife, with a Mora Classic #1 as my smaller backup. Great job Chris on thinking outside the predictable knife box. Two thumbs up from this guy.
Chris, Great review on the Jessmuk. The only comment I would make is that I think you are diverting from the original intent of your channel. L T Wright knives are awesome and pathfinder gear is unmatched, but these brands are not for the guy just starting out in bush crafting. I have been following your channel for a couple of years now and to be honest your beginning to lose me when you review $150.00 to $200.00 gear which I have no use for and can't afford.
Lukes Bushcraft Watch the videos I referenced in the beginning. None of those guys were sold before either. One ended up saying he liked it more than his Skookum Bush Tool, another said he liked it just as much.
+PREPAREDMIND101 I can see how that would happen when I saw it on LTWK channel I did not like it at all but now it is growing on me it is a beautiful knife I just like the old trade knife look and feel the more i look at it the more I like it thank you.
+Guns N' Loaded God, no. When I first revealed the Jessmuk a well known person said they were the same knife, so I looked it up. I'd seen the big crazy one, but not the survival knife. Survival knife looks nothing like it. Now his NEW one that came out a few weeks ago looks more like mine. The belly moved back and now it's scandi. But when you see it on video it's a much larger, thicker knife. As far as the belly goes, I showed the inspiration for that in the video (Bladetech U.L.U.) All knives with Nessmuk influences look like cousins. Side by side there is no other knife that looks like mine. Blade shape wise, the new CRKT Bushcrafter is probably the closest I've seen.
Hi Chris this is my first time watching this particular video. Loved it. I'm going to order mine today from knives ship free. When something is Jessica listed where is the location of the Jessica list? story if you've answered that question one thousand times already. ps THANK YOU for including bloopers!
I've never heard of O1 tool steel. Is it a carbon steel or stainless steel? And how does it compare to steels like 1095, 5160 or L6? We all know L6 is a super tough steel.
I have been really impressed with the reviews. I can't find it on the LT Wright web site. Where can I find it for sale? I enjoy your channel. Great job.
Stupid question, is Jessie your wife? The knife looks awesome. I like it better than the other Jessica you designed. No offense meant by that. Regards from Pittsburgh. Laura
Knives Galicia Video could have been better. I normally would have never filmed in that state (2.5 hours sleep), but I only get Jessie 2 days a month and wasn't going to waste it.
Congrats Chris. Always liked how you don't follow the herd and, if anything, fight it. The world needs more free thinking people. This design really looks effective. You are getting more actual cutting edge for a given blade length for one and the belly naturally penetrates due to less immediate surface area. I liked how you showed how effective the rocking otion is.
The way it sticks out below the handle makes it a better food processor also.
This is a design that will take off. I would be pretty proud of it.
It's 5"of cutting edge in a 4.5" long blade.
sweet knife... well thoguth through! Using indigenous knowledge and techology always led to great equipment and gear...way to go!
thank you
Wow Chris you did not skimp on anything in design or materials eg. 01 steel and a Scandi grind .... the sheath also matches the quality of the knife . Bravo !

THE JES ROCKS CHRIS
This blade seems to be similar to my Chris Caine companion knife. I love mine.
Good video Chris, Thx for doing it.
That's a whole lot of belly on that blade to keep sharp in the field!
good looking knife....It has similar blade profile as the Kabar Johnson adventure blade...
Brian Drexler I wish I still had the one I fully jessified before my youtube channel was started. I called that "Woody Woodwrecker". Hollow ground chopper from hell! I just HATED that damn handle.
good video. thank you sir.
Love to have this knive in 1095 steel!
I can't wait to try it out.
good looking knife,good skinner.
Robert Ware So far, Mike Travis (Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors) is the only person to have skinned anything with it. Looking forward to after-hunting reports this year.
+PREPAREDMIND101 Congratulations on your knife.
Nice butter knife Chris !

Yo Adrian I could maybe go for the BK15, but the 5 just seems too big for me for that style. Hell of a slicer.
PREPAREDMIND101
It's actually pretty well balanced, but yeah everyone has their own taste in knives.
+PREPAREDMIND101 Any idea when the next batch of Jessmuks will be available? I don't see it anywhere on your store and would love to get myself one
George Washington Sears or Nessmuk, was the original designer of a Knife using the huge Roach belly, Yours is a deeper roach belly than his, I like that Deep sweep myself, I think it will be a great all around woods knife. Great Design Idea Chris.
that's because the belly is from an ULU knife. Mine is almost kinda be considered a double-belly, since there are two sides to it.
really cool knife man.
Curtis Kempton Thank you
So far so good, looks promising. Would like to see you do some camp crafting with it ala Dave Canterbury style as well as fishing/hunting chores. Also interested in how it fares in wet environments where handling is more crucial. Wouldn't mind testing it out myself.
+John Ruckman for wet environments, just watch ALONE. Mike Lowe is using one.
Thanks LT and Chris !! Can't even put into words the quality and superb design of this knife. Got mine today. Didn't realize I was buying something so good I can pass down to my children. Very happy for you guys, and hope the second run sells out just as fast.
Even your co host is laughing at you.

there needs to be a folding jessmuk for edc
Looks like an awesome bush tool Chris. You and LT. Wright have done well!
congrats with the knife. it looks like a winner. great demo.
I will be ordering this knife within two months, awesome friggin knife.
Just got mine!! Insane!! Really love it so far!! Amazing design!! Can't wait to learn everything this thing can do!!
+PREPAREDMIND101 you should design a 7 to 9 ish inch blade with that shape looks like it would be great for chopping
I have said this to you before, I have been looking forward to this knife, for me there is a lot to like about this design. LTWK and you are on a winner with this knife,
out ofmall the knives you designed that is my favorite. I actually love that knife, great design. and a great knife maker, awesome results.
thanks

I just order this in the 3v, looking forward to using it! It's a great looking knife and the design is exactly what I was looking for. Good job man!
THE CAMILLUS BUSHCRAFTER HAS A BLADE WITH A LOT OF BELLY IN IT.YOU DESIGNED A GREAT KNIFE AND LOOKS GOOD TOO.GOOD JOB CHRIS.
I've seen that. I want to try it. The blade on it is the closest I've seen to mine. If it's good, it might be a good alternative for people on a stricter budget.
That's the way I like to feather stick to your not alone, my favorite feathersticken blade is the Schf42 that thing is amazing.
HI AGAIN JESSICA
Knife of the year contender at Blade next June? I think so.
I fully intend to make sure it's entered and feel confident about it going up against any other bushcraft style knife.
PREPAREDMIND101 In it to win it! It's certainly worthy!
Hell I would love to get my hands on one of those knives I love the design and the look of that knife.
Bueatiful knife Chris! great vid as always! tell will to feel better.
I was actually thinking a morakniv while I was watching the video. You should send them a link to your video. They will at least sell one.
Am I wrong to shy away from riveted/pinned handles? I love the knife design, but for the money, I want to be able to replace scales.
It's a sweet knife no doubt. Lookin good.
I wish i would have got in on the first run.Will get in on the second run.Great vid!
If you want more views, jessie should be in more videos.
I've got notch PTSD sliced my knuckle other day lol
Can you test the okc3s or Ontario m9 bayonet
I do Wills way too it feels so unatural the other way
I think I found my first LT Wright knife purchase!!! Any chance it might come in the deep woods sheath package??
9:27-9:28 ish you all right dude?
JX2 JESSMUK will be mind soon. The case you wear on your leg, I would like to know about it. if available for sale anywhere
Sabra Partner mounted on a Condor MOLLE Drop Leg Panel.
This is awesome. Looks like something I would make. Good choice of steel and handle, but I'm surprised you don't have a choil in the blade but it looks like you can still get a good choke on it. Nice knife, Chris.

Great looking knife. Very practical. What else do you need? What is the price? When will it be more available?
$195 wo sheath, $235 with. About two weeks (-ish) another pre order will be about ready. After that, it should be a regularly offered knife.
I like the knive Chris I think it's awesome!!!!
When the knife is a rockin, don't come a knockin ... lol.
I wonder, if you got a good spin on it...would it stick in a tree??? Prob. pretty deep.
Yes, just based on the fact that the point is exactly centerline to the handle.
How to sharpen the edge?
great blade steel heat treat design everything :-D
only concern how is it to sharpen? does the belly hinder it to lay flat on a stone?
so happy I bought one. Its awesome and love using it already. Just need to get a sheath for it now so its not in the box all the time lol
Looks like a great general use knife. How tricky is it to sharpen/hone an ulu type blade? How do you do it?
Are you going to do a vid about that CDS knife ?
Mana Morales Yes. It's coming up. We had it out Sunday, but ran out of time.
I love this design Chris. I will more than likely be getting one. I make my own knives for a living so I don't say that much. Great job.
Some people say it is not good trying to reinvent the knife and that this blade form doesn't work as fine as the usual blade form for bushcraft. What do you tell those guys?
I ask, cause i am gonna buy my first bushcraft knife and doesn't really know if i should get this one. i like the look, but i am not that experienced.
Where can I by a knife like this
are they offering a kydex sheath for this?
dont see it on their site
It's only there during preorders. After the next run, it'll be a regularly offered model.
okay cool do you know what its being sold for, price?
Personally, not the biggest fan of PM101....so why am I starting by saying such? Because I have several LT Wright knives, including Genesis Scandi, Genesis Sabre, Bushcrafter, and NOW the Jessmuk by Mr Tanner. I absolutely love the knife. It's an ugly work horse that simply gets the job done. So I've not based my personal opinion of the knife because I am an avid PM101 fan, but rather because the knife is a win. There is a slight learning curve to using it, but very quickly has become my primary carry knife, with a Mora Classic #1 as my smaller backup. Great job Chris on thinking outside the predictable knife box. Two thumbs up from this guy.
+Justin Russell I'll take that...
Chris,
Great review on the Jessmuk. The only comment I would make is that I think you are diverting from the original intent of your channel. L T Wright knives are awesome and pathfinder gear is unmatched, but these brands are not for the guy just starting out in bush crafting. I have been following your channel for a couple of years now and to be honest your beginning to lose me when you review $150.00 to $200.00 gear which I have no use for and can't afford.
Chris which pouch is that in your waist/leg
I am not sold on it but great knife I thing curly maple would look great on it
Lukes Bushcraft Me too (the curly maple part :) )
Lukes Bushcraft Watch the videos I referenced in the beginning. None of those guys were sold before either. One ended up saying he liked it more than his Skookum Bush Tool, another said he liked it just as much.
+PREPAREDMIND101 I can see how that would happen when I saw it on LTWK channel I did not like it at all but now it is growing on me it is a beautiful knife I just like the old trade knife look and feel the more i look at it the more I like it thank you.
Good job on the knife Chris! Looks pretty awesome. I'm stoked that you're gritting your designs made! Not bad for a city slicker! 😉
Chris Caine survival tool?
Seriously?
+PREPAREDMIND101 I thought it might be some of your inspiration also.
+Guns N' Loaded God, no. When I first revealed the Jessmuk a well known person said they were the same knife, so I looked it up. I'd seen the big crazy one, but not the survival knife. Survival knife looks nothing like it. Now his NEW one that came out a few weeks ago looks more like mine. The belly moved back and now it's scandi. But when you see it on video it's a much larger, thicker knife.
As far as the belly goes, I showed the inspiration for that in the video (Bladetech U.L.U.)
All knives with Nessmuk influences look like cousins. Side by side there is no other knife that looks like mine. Blade shape wise, the new CRKT Bushcrafter is probably the closest I've seen.
+PREPAREDMIND101 I love your design and can't wait to get one
Hi Chris this is my first time watching this particular video. Loved it. I'm going to order mine today from knives ship free.
When something is Jessica listed where is the location of the Jessica list? story if you've answered that question one thousand times already.
ps THANK YOU for including bloopers!
4:48 Obviously not really finesse for feather sticking because the geometry of the blade is for skinning game!!!
I've never heard of O1 tool steel. Is it a carbon steel or stainless steel? And how does it compare to steels like 1095, 5160 or L6? We all know L6 is a super tough steel.
carbon. some say better than 1095. been used in bushcraft knives a long time.
PREPAREDMIND101 Thanks.
Does your JX2 Jessmuk 3v have a sharp spine like the 0-1? I don't know how to contact you privately
Yes
likely get a better grip cause the aren't polished to a shine...
where do you get the jessmuk
The end. LOL
I'm going to burn that log next time. We'll see who wins!
Chirs - good video Thanks, what leg rig you got on?
+YenzHouse Video posted about 2 to 2.5 months ago.
It's a Condor Molle Drop Leg Panel that I put the Sabra Gear pouch on. Like it better than the pouch alone.
take my money! where and how much?
What is a good budget alternative?
When will the serrated version be available? :)
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors lol
@@preparedmind101 Is the hotty in HUGE high heels..or are u 5'2?
I have been really impressed with the reviews. I can't find it on the LT Wright web site. Where can I find it for sale? I enjoy your channel. Great job.
when can we see some camping/hiking/bugoutvids from pm101? :D
Stupid question, is Jessie your wife? The knife looks awesome. I like it better than the other Jessica you designed. No offense meant by that. Regards from Pittsburgh. Laura
No she's not.
Okay, sorry for the confusion and thanks for the clarification. Again, the knife looks great.
Nice video and knife.
Knives Galicia Video could have been better. I normally would have never filmed in that state (2.5 hours sleep), but I only get Jessie 2 days a month and wasn't going to waste it.
