Nessmuk Knife by Brisa
George Washington Sears was a man ahead of his time. He is often attributed with the birth of ultra-light camping, and in the 1880's wrote periodically for 'Forest and Stream' magazine under the pen name 'Nessmuk', who was a Native American that he knew as a child.
His name has been given to a style of knife with a characteristic hump, and was used by Sears for slicing and skinning in the main, preferring to chop with a small axe. His three cutting tools were the Nessmuk, a small axe and a folding knife.
Blade length: 125 mm
Blade width: 26 - 35 mm
Blade thickness: 3,5 mm
Total: 235
Steel: Carbonsteel 80CrV2
Grind: Scandi
Handle Curly Birch
Leather sheath.
Brisa have prioritised slicing to chopping with this grinding angle. If you intend to use the Nessmuk for heavy chopping, our recommendation is to add a second bevel approximately 16 + 16 = 32 degrees. Made in Finland.
