The idea for this design came from necessity while hunting in 2023. I was using my Wicket XL to process a deer and found myself looking for just a little more reach and narrow profile for those deeper cuts. I wanted to ensure that I could get into some of those hard-to-reach places while maintaining the ability to efficiently skin the deer. When I sat down at the drawing board, two of my older models came to mind. The blade shape of EDB with its long blade and slicing belly is exactly what I needed. Combining that with a narrowed version of the bushcrafter handle would create a comfortable and functional hunting knife. I originally designed the Bruin with a saber grind, but while testing prototypes with some trusted outdoor professionals, they unanimously said that making the Bruin in a scandi grind would result in an excellent all-purpose field knife. Ultimately, I decided to produce the Bruin in both scandi and saber grind options. If you’re looking for a dedicated hunting knife the saber grind may be up your alley, but if you are looking for an all-purpose field knife the scandi version may be the way to go. The Bruin will be available in a variety of steel options including AEB-L, Nitro-V, CPM-154 and CPM-3V. All these options are incredibly tough and will hold up to the rigors of outdoor use. Like all Nuge Knives, the Bruin is 100% made in the USA
