The CRKT Minimalist® Nessmuk Wood fixed blade knife is an impressive, limited production (Limited Edition) reissue of the classic design by designer Alan Folts.

The Nessmuk-style blade is made from Swedish Sandvik 12C27® stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention and high corrosion resistance. The black Stonewash finish provides a rugged, understated appearance that conceals scratches from use and develops a beautiful patina over time. The ergonomic handle made from stabilized wood in shades of black and bronze features the characteristic three finger grooves of the Minimalist® series, ensuring excellent control and a secure grip.
It comes with a durable thermoplastic sheath that can be attached to a belt or carried around the neck (neck knife) using the included cord, as well as a matching copper keychain.
