The Vintage Nessmuk
This striking knife begs a shout-out to the Vintage Nessmuk model from Lucas Forge, a close reproduction to the original Sears’ Nessmuk knife design. This is the 5-inch blade version, with an antler handle, set with brass bolts. Notice this knife doesn’t have a lanyard hole, giving it more of a traditional look. The blade has an hammer forged finish with an abundance of hammer marks! Also, check out the X-jimping along the spine!

This is a beloved, unique, and time-honored knife design that looks great with a wide variety of custom options. Also, if you like the Vintage Nessmuk, don’t miss the Vintage Nessmuk Jr…the same style in a more compact size. Thanks for your interest!
