Brisa Nessmuk 125, Carbon Steel Blade

Blade from Brisa in Finland, this is the "Nessmuk" style of blade named after George W. Sears, pen name "Nessmuk". Sears was an early pioneer in writing about bushcraft, calling for going to the forest "not to rough it, but to smooth it". His book is available free online and considered a "must-read" by many of us.
