Inspired by the iconic Knife Edge Trail on Katahdin, this streamlined mitt is built for precision, protection, and performance. Its distinctive chisel-shaped top follows the natural contour of the hand — a narrower, more agile evolution of the original Mainers Mitt. Designed and handmade in Maine, the Knife Edge blends durability, dexterity, and refined insulation for all-day comfort in cold conditions.

Care Instructions

Knife Edge Mitts gloves can be machine washed. For best results, we suggest placing them in a mesh garment washing bag to prevent inversion of the inner and outer components.

Use a gentle washing cycle and warm water (not hot water). Do not use harsh detergents or bleach, instead we recommend using a detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics, such as SPORT-WASH. Air dry by standing the gloves or mitts on their gauntlets or hanging them by the front tips.

Dependable Materials

With a leather palm and a combo Nylon/Spandex outer layer, our mitt is handcrafted for durability and versatility. An interior Gore-Tex liner keeps your hands dry from the outside while allowing them to breathe--even during strenuous activity. Moisture-wicking Polartec® Power Grid™ and Featherless 3M Thinsulate keep your hands warm, manage moisture, and provide antimicrobial protection. When the biting chill threatens to numb your fingers, the mitt's insulation fights back, trapping precious heat without impeding dexterity or maneuverability.

Warmth & Dexterity

When the biting chill threatens to numb your fingers, the mitt's insulation fights back, trapping precious heat without impeding dexterity or maneuverability. We like to keep our Mainers mitts in our pack even on relatively warm winter days just in case. They have saved us more than once!
