The pictures really didn’t do these justice. I was blown away when I got my hands on it. The wood grain, the hardware, the feel in the hand. Everything on this knife is simply perfect.

Great little fixed blade. Lives in my pocket daily.

Well made, fit and finish are perfect! I have XL hands and XL Wicket is a good fit for me. Great communication and speedy shipping. Thank you!

Carrying a pocket fixed blade has become my preferred carry, I’m very happy with the XL. I’m pretty sure that the wicket would’ve been too small for my needs. This is extremely well crafted well balanced, well-thought-out design. I have nothing to complain about and will certainly be looking for future drops

This has been in my pocket since the day I got it, It's the only fixed blade I've found comfortable to pocket carry so far, and have tried many. Also it came crazy sharp!

Excellent product

Absolutely the right fit.

Only had a chance to carry the knife for a week so far but not bad at all. Factory edge was decent- 1 week of EDC and I feel like it could use a touch up along the edge, so I think it didn't come "razor" sharp or maybe I might have to adjust the profile slightly- when I get time I'll evaluate, no big deal. I love the thin stock lets face it most of its use is for opening boxes, and cutting steak so even though I like to think I need a thick indestructible blade in case I need to use it to survive, this fits the bill perfectly 95% of the time and will handle the other 5% just fine as long as I'm not abusing it. Really this is the stock thickness I subconciously prefer an EDC sized fixed blade to be but is so rare to find. The sheath is great-sits deep so even though it is a little tight now, when it breaks in no need to worry about it falling out while sitting. I wear XL gloves, and even though the handle doesn't feel too small, I wouldn't mind a slightly fuller handle. Overall I think it will be a great knife, but only time will tell. Some knives I have that I swear I love but for some reason never find a place on my hip except those specific scenarios, I'm hoping this won't be one of those. There's nothing so far that screams wow, but everything whispers it's truly a user, which is what really counts in my opinion.

Perfect size. Came very sharp

I love it, I haven’t had the chance yet to play around with it yet in the field but a Nessmuk is just one of those iconic knives the pioneers used. I love that it has a scandi grind as well.

Amazing little edc fixed blade. Its 100% in the edc carry rotation. Love it!!!!

I’m always been a fan of a good Nessmuk, kinda one the icon knives that was favored by the first pioneers. Can’t wait to test it out in the field an see how it holds up.

Great EDC fixed blade. Awesome size, great ergos & yeah 3V. Would recommend.

Great knife! I love it.

Very cool looking knife and a very handy size. The sheath rubs on the edge of the handle causing a scuff mark on the handle. I'm not sure if that is the expectation or not.

Freaking unbelievably beautiful piece of art! Can't wait to use it!
