Matthew Gentry Brings Pocket Muk Model to Boker Collab

Michigan-based customer maker Matthew Gentry has just seen his first production collaboration drop, courtesy of Boker. The Boker Plus M.U.K. delivers a compact riff on what is perhaps the most famous outdoors knife ever made.

It’s right there in the name: the M.U.K. is a new take on the Nessmuk, a fixed blade designed by George Washington Sears, who wrote under the nom de plume “Nessmuk” for Forest and Stream and became a legend amongst outdoorsmen and naturalists. Like famous traditional knife patterns, the Nessmuk knife speaks to modern makers as much as those in its own time, and it has been iterated on hundreds of times over the years. In fact, the M.U.K itself is based on Gentry’s custom Pocket Muk model.

The pocket sheath included with the M.U.K.

The M.U.K. is one of the more adventurous riffs on the form. It alters the proportions significantly when compared with classic Nessmuk examples. Its blade is 2.4 inches in length, making the M.U.K. extremely compact, but does retain the unmistakable, upswept Nessmuk blade shape, and by all appearances it looks well-suited to the role of a backup outdoors knife or, if you prefer, an everyday carry fixed blade. The 12C27N steel implemented here offers admirable performance metrics for the $40 MSRP.

The M.U.K.’s extended handle gives the knife an almost scalpel-like silhouette. It allows this little knife to accommodate all four fingers, which gives extra control and leverage during cutting chores. The full tang M.U.K. comes with dark brown Micarta scales attached, which evoke the wood scales used on the custom Gentry versions, and a little Kydex sheath with a belt clip attachment included. The knife weighs a scant 2.43 oz.

The M.U.K. is available now.
