Our homage to the Nessmuk knife made famous by the outdoorsman George Washington Sears (1821-1890).
This knife has a lot going for it, AEBL stainless steel for toughness, edge retention and patina resistance, stabilised rippled maple for its beautiful appearance, handmade leather sheath and some iconic Norse motifs.
Our NessMuk boasts a sharp 90degree spine for ferro rods and scraping bark along with an ergonomic back end on the tang. A beautifully sharp Scandi grind which begs to be taken in to the woods and shown a hard time, making debris shelters, feather sticks, battening small logs and other camplife tasks.
The beautiful Rippled Maple scales are held on mechanically and chemically with the help of brass loveless bolts and marine grade epoxy for the perfect fit.
We've added the Norse Compass to the blade face and in an old Norse text (Younger Furthark) we've added a paragraph from the Viking book "The Havamal" which reads "No lamb for the lazy wolf, no battles won in bed" along the spine, which makes this a really interesting piece we are sure you'll be proud to carry in to the wilderness.

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.
