While the early American conservationist who lent the Nessmuk knife its name valued function over form, veteran knifemaker Alan Folts skillfully marries the two in the Minimalist Nessmuk, pairing durable D2 steel with a sleek, easy-to-grip micarta handle and a versatile sheath that can be worn around the neck or easily mounted on a pack or belt. With a deep belly, strong tip and hollow grind the Nessmuk is a proven outdoor knife favored by the hunting, fishing and bush crafting communities.
