Brisa 32085 Scandinavian Knife Imported from Finland

Description: Brisa 32085 Scandinavian Knife Imported from Finland Brisa knives are made in a variety of locations in Finland. They are distinctive for their superior quality and highly attractive design. The carbon steel (0.8%) blades are hardened to about 59 on the Rockwell scale, and knives having stainless steel blades are hardened to about 57 Rockwell. The knives and their leather sheathes are works of beauty, and are visually appealing as well as satisfyingly functional.Scandinavian knife blades have what is known as a scandinavian grind, which means that the knive only has one bevel, running from roughly the center of the knife to the edge. This is the defining characteristic of scandinavian knives, as most other types of knive blades have two bevels: one that slopes more gently towards the edge, and then another bevel that slopes more sharply to form the actual edge of the blade. Scandinavian blades are very easy to sharpen, and very difficult to sharpen incorrectly. You don't need any kind of pre-formed sharpening jig or device or tool kit, just a flat stone. Lay the knife blade on top of the stone, or lay the stone on the knife, tilted to follow the angle of the bevel, and start running it back and forth until it gets sharper. The knife controls the angle for you. This also makes it much easier to sharpen a blade in the field. Scandinavian knives are also superior for wood carving, as again the single-bevel design controls the angle for you.The Nessmuk knife is based on the design of famous 19th century outdoorsman George Washington Sears, who wrote magazine articles using the pen name "Nessmuk." An avid believer in ultralight trekking and only packing the bare minimum in supplies, Nessmuk designed this to be the one knife that you would need for anything: gutting, skinning, chopping firewood, building a canoe, or building a shelter. It features a very impressive full-tang blade with a distinctive profile, with sandwiching layers of curly birch wood forming a good, stout handle. The sheath has an interesting dual-carry option: a second belt loop is attached with a metal ring to the primary belt loop which is stitched onto the sheath. This allows for carrying the sheath firmly attached to your belt with the primary loop, or swinging more freely using the second loop.Below are the detailed measurements of this knife.
