Description
The NEW Enhanced Bruin is built to hit the woods with purpose. Now featuring a precision swedge and added jimping on the spine, this Blacked-Out Bruin is dialed in for serious hunters who demand reach, control, and durability in the field.
Born from real-world necessity during the 2023 hunting season, the Bruin was designed to offer just a little more length and a narrower profile than the Wicket XL — making those deep, hard-to-reach cuts easier while still maintaining excellent skinning performance.

Designed With Purpose
More Reach. Better Access.
The 3.75” blade provides additional length for deeper cuts while maintaining a slim, efficient slicing profile.
Proven Blade Geometry.
Inspired by the long slicing belly of the EDB and paired with a narrowed bushcrafter-style handle, the Bruin offers comfort, control, and field-ready functionality.
Swedge + Jimping Upgrade.
The precision swedge improves penetration and fine detail work, while spine jimping enhances thumb control during delicate cuts.
Built for the Hunt.
The saber grind offers strength and versatility, and CPM-154 delivers excellent edge retention and toughness to withstand real outdoor use.
If you're looking for a dedicated hunting knife that balances slicing performance with durability, the Bruin (Swedge/Jimping) checks every box.
Like all Nuge Knives, it’s 100% Made in the USA and ready for the season ahead.
