Norse design with a soul that’s all American. Why meddle with an axe shape that has been tried and true for over a thousand years? That’s the logic designer and veteran Elmer Roush brings to the Freyr™ tactical axe. The deep beard echoes Viking style. But its balance and pure burliness boosts it into a contemporary league all its own. Shield and Viking battle cry not included.

Freyr™ Axe

Outdoor Camp Axe

Leaves less meat in the field, puts more in your freezer.

Hunt’N Fisch™ Fixed

Fixed Blade Hunting Knife

A lightweight outdoor knife with heavyweight utility. While the early American conservationist who lent the Nessmuk knife its name valued function over form, veteran knifemaker Alan Folts skillfully marries the two in the Minimalist® Nessmuk, pairing durable D2 steel with a sleek, easy-to-grip micarta handle and a versatile sheath that can be worn around the neck or easily mounted on a pack or belt. With a deep belly, strong tip, and hollow grind—the Nessmuk is a proven outdoor knife favored by the hunting, fishing, and bush crafting communities thanks to its efficient and versatile cutting abilities. The Minimalist® Nessmuk’s stylish design, comfortable grip, and do-all cutting ability will make this lightweight knife your constant companion in the great outdoors.

Minimalist® Cleaver

River knife. Rescue knife. Whatever you call it, it gets the job done. A favorite among whitewater rafters, water sports enthusiasts, and emergency response personnel, the Bear Claw™ is a compact fixed blade knife with a blunt tip, preventing point penetration and making it a safer carry—especially around rafts and inflatables.
