Spartan Blades Harsey Nessmuk - Silver Grade
- Bill Harsey Design
- Made in USA (by KA-BAR)
The design of the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is based on a classic American design made famous by George Washington Sears (1821-1890), as well as the more moderate ergonomic designs of William W. Harsey Jr.
George Washington Sears was taught by a member of the Narragansett (indigenous people) called Nessmuk and learned from him the skills he needed to survive in the wilderness.
He later adopted Nessmuk's name as a pseudonym and wrote many letters to Forest and Steam magazine under the name "Nessmuk" popularizing canoeing, the lakes of the Adirondack, and self-guided canoe trips.
He preached the wonder of wilderness and warned of its potential destruction by man and progress. Sears wrote more than 90 articles for the magazine, teaching readers in blunt prose how to survive in nature and the importance of conserving natural resources. His book Woodcraft was a great success and his articles "The Log of the Bucktail" also became popular.
The magazine published a collection of his poems called Forest Runes in 1886. Sears was an experienced outdoorsman and understood that nature can be harsh and that the skilled woodsman must accept the realities of nature.
Made in Olean, New York, in collaboration with the talented staff of KA-BAR knives.
