Our homage to the Nessmuk knife made famous by the outdoorsman George Washington Sears (1821-1890) who favoured this style while out in the American wilderness.
This knife has a lot going for it, 3.5mm AEBL stainless steel for toughness, edge retention and patina resistance, rugged Raganar-Rock sculptured G10 scales, utilitarian Multicam kydex sheath with tek-lok style belt clip for easy left or right hand carry, you can also use the clip to wear it horizontally in scout carry.
We’re proud of our counties long history of working with metal and even more proud that we handmade everything knife by hand in Great Britain, to celebrate we’ve added the Union Flag and “Made in Great Britain” to the knife with laser tattoos.
We’ve grafted together olive and red G10 to make this tool stand out, contrasting orange liners line up perfectly to create a vibrant set of scales on a knife you’ll be hesitant to lend out to fellow outdoorsmen.
The Sabre grind with convexed secondary bevel is perfect for an adventure in the woods, the stropped apex is great for use around camp and the 4.25” length is sufficiently enough to tackle even big jobs without the size of the tool being overpowering.
Our Boreal boasts a sharp 90 degree spine towards the back for ferro rods and scraping birch bark and other tinder, spine towards the tip to aid game prep, a screaming sharp sabre grind which begs to be taken in to the woods and shown a good time, making debris shelters, feather sticks, battening small logs and other camp-life tasks.
The tough as nails G10 scales are held on mechanically and chemically with the help of flared brass tubes and marine grade epoxy for the perfect fit, the shoulders are nicely rounded over making a comfy grip and the flats are sand blasted further increasing grip under hard use.

FAQs
PAYMENT
Once the knife is bought we complete with a quick I.D check to confirm you are over 18 years old, to keep us legal with the current laws around the sale of knives over the internet.
GUARANTEE
Our knives come with a common sense guarantee, covering craftsmanship and materials. This does not cover abuse or general wear and tear, for example, over time knives get dull and need basic sharpening and maintenance, carbon steel knives can pick up patina or rust if put away wet, left in damp atmospheres or generally neglected.
All of our knives are made by hand and as such none are perfect, if you look hard enough and study the knife intently, you may find the odd light scratch or blemish picked up in the making process. We call this character and it's what makes your knife yours, it will in fact pick up much worse over a short period of time through normal use and begin to tell its own story.
