At the center of the Chaman Nessmuk is a 4-inch blade crafted from Böhler N690 stainless steel and finished with a clean satin surface.

It’s a versatile blade that handles everything from food prep to carving and light wood processing.
The full tang construction ensures strength runs through the entire knife, providing a solid and balanced feel in hand. With an overall length of 8.25 inches, the knife remains compact enough for easy carry while still offering the capability needed for demanding tasks. The design allows for confident use, whether you’re working on fine detail or applying more pressure.
The handle is crafted from grooved cocobolo wood, a dense and durable material known for its rich color and natural strength. The grooved texture enhances grip and control, giving you a secure hold during use. Each handle features unique grain patterns, adding individuality to every knife while maintaining a classic, refined look. The ergonomic shaping supports comfort during extended use, and a lanyard hole provides additional carry or retention options.
The knife comes with a brown leather belt sheath that offers secure and accessible carry. Built for durability, it protects the blade while allowing for quick deployment when needed. The sheath complements the knife’s traditional design, creating a cohesive and practical carry system for outdoor use.
