Both of these knives are the 5″ blade version of the Powder River model. Both have three three brass pins and no lanyard hole, a very traditional look! The first knife has the standard aged blade finish; the second knife has the hammer forged finish option. The first knife has thumb jimping added on the spine; the second knife doesn’t have any spine options.

Sears Nessmuk Reproduction

Sears Nessmuk, Lucas Forge, Custom Hunting Knife, Nessmuk, Nessmuk Knife, Nessmuk Reproduction, Traditional Camping KnifeIn 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.
