In the 1970s, this practical knife was found in almost every household in Finland. It is a real all-purpose knife that was used for cutting potatoes, as well as for carving wood. This is mainly due to the short blade, which is practical for work that requires precision and clear guidance. This updated model comes with a handle made of burl birch. The wide birch handle fits very well in your hand and lets you hold the knife firmly and securely. Marttiini's Käteväs drop point blade is made of stainless steel and is 7.5 cm long. Included is a leather sheath that can be attached to your belt and protects the outdoor knife from dirt. All in all, a really great all-rounder!

The Finnish knife maker Marttiini is known for its high-quality hunting and fishing knives. Founder Janne Marttiinni began producing handmade knives, scythes and axes in the rural village of Kierinki in northern Finland in 1902. In 1928, he opened his own forge in Rovaniemi, where he produced a wide range of sturdy and well-crafted knives. Demand quickly grew. In 1940, Marttiini built his first factory, which was partially destroyed in 1944 during the Second World War. After the war, the factory was rebuilt in the center of Rovaniemie. Today, the factory shop is located on the site and is called “Marttiini's Old Factory”. Due to the many different knife models and the constant growth, a new, modern production facility was built in 1972, where the knives are still manufactured today. More than 300 different models are still produced by hand using traditional methods and are constantly being improved. Outdoor enthusiasts, collectors, chefs and many other professional users appreciate the outstanding quality of Marttiini knives and always have them with them as a loyal companion.
