Nessmuk trio

[Sld1959]

One of the things George Washington Sears espoused was the use of three different bladed tools, known in some knife circles as the Nessmuk trio.

They were a double bit belt ax for chopping, a belt knife for hunting and camp chores, and a small folder for delicate work. This combo is something that I have basically used my entire outdoor life, in various iterations.

Choppers.

Belt knife.

Folder/delicate knife

These are just a few that fill the bill for me. So very many ways...

I follow a very similar mindset but also like to carry a pocket saw in addition. Opinel came out with one I really want to try

Is that a Tennessee axe from crazy crow?

The small ax is a copy of the original Fort Meiggs belt ax that I made myself. The other, I really do not know where it came from, it was gifted from my wife. Three of those in that picture are my own builds.
