In 1884, Mr. George Washington Sears (1821-1890) published his book, “Woodcraft and Camping.”
The book focused on ultra-light camping and in it, there’s a woodcut showing a double bit hatchet, a pocket knife, and sheath knife. This special edition Lucas Forge knife is made to be a close reproduction of that sheath knife.
Lucas’ version features an aged 1/8-inch, O-1 high carbon steel blade, a rustic antler handle, and three brass pins. In addition, this knife doesn’t have the usual Lucas Forge etch, but a special one: Sears Nessmuk By Lucas Forge.
Today we’re highlighting one of these special custom reproduction pieces. For more information on the Sears Nessmuk Reproduction, please write lucas@customhuntingknives.org. Thank you for your interest in traditional outdoor knives!
Check out this look…it’s a custom Frontier Trapper with an aged osage handle, three brass pins, no lanyard hole, and an aged blade finish. Very classic, yet striking!

If you’re looking for a knife with a smart tip for precise work, the ProSkinner may be the design for you. Today we’re looking at two similar, yet different, custom ProSkinners and comparing the options!
As you notice right off, both have blue box elder handles with very similar grain and coloration. The first knife is a standard ProSkinner, with 3 1/2-inch blade. The second knife has an extended blade, around 4 1/2-inches, for added working room. The top knife has a hammer forged finish; below we see a satin blade finish.
The top knife features the standard hardware…two brass pins and a lanyard hole. The knife below doesn’t have a lanyard hole, but features a trio of mosaic pins!
Both knives have patterned filework on the spine. First, we have the Classic pattern and below we have the Vine pattern, which do have slightly different looks even from the side view.
