$397.99

Tradition Refined. Built for the Bush. A Knife That Honors Wilderness.

Blending historic wisdom with modern precision, the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk pays tribute to famed outdoorsman George Washington Sears, known by his pen name “Nessmuk.” Inspired by Sears’ minimalist philosophy and deep respect for nature, this knife echoes the tools of classic woodsmen—thin, sharp, and unapologetically practical.

Crafted by legendary designer William W. Harsey Jr. and manufactured in collaboration with KA-BAR Knives in Olean, NY, this updated Nessmuk merges old-world heritage with contemporary resilience. Its 1095 Cro-Van blade features a black powder coat for field durability, and the flat grind provides versatile slicing performance. Whether carving campfire stakes or skinning game, the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is a trusted companion for explorers who walk lightly but carry sharp.
