In its basic form, the Nesmuk is the type of knife that has always appeared in the 3,500 year-old history of traditional knife making when a tool was needed for especially demanding cutting tasks. Lars Scheidler was inspired by the aesthetic appeal, efficient function and logical shape of this "original knife" and has re-interpreted and perfected it for the Nesmuk Collection.

In order to achieve superior results, Lars Scheidler uses data collected in many years of studies and comparative analytical tests. This data enables the production of all Nesmuk knives according to the optimisation principle. They deliver optimum material quality and composition, perfect blade geometry, accomplished heat treatment and maximum precision.
