Marttiini MN511020 Scandinavian Knife Imported from Finland

Description: Marttiini MN511020 Scandinavian Knife Imported from Finland Marttiini has manufactured knives in Rovaniemi, Finland since 1928. Marttiini tends to try to strike a balance between beauty, functionality, and ease of sharpening. The blades are not as tough as those from other scandinavian knife makers, usually 53-54 Rockwell, which is still quite tough and they hold an edge very well. The handles are curly birch, either natural, stained, or lacquered. The marttiini knives are also much more affordable than other scandinavian knives.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.This is a great knife for carving and whittling, with a short, stout blade strong enough for the task, attached to a full-sized handle to give you lots of control. The stained wood handle features a pronounced pommel hook to help keep a firm grip, and the black leather sheath features a light stamping of the Marttiini name and a conventional riveted belt loop. The sheath also contains a partial insert, to protect both the sheath and the hand from getting sliced if the knife is inserted incorrectly.Below are the detailed measurements of this knife. One important note: for best comfort and grip, the length of your middle finger should be similar to the circumference of the handle.Blade Material: carbon steelKnife Length: 6.75 inches (17.1 cm)Blade Length: 2.25 inches (5.7 cm)Blade Width: 0.72 inches (1.8 cm)Blade Thickness: 0.12 inches (3 mm)Knife Weight: 2.1 ounces (60 grams)Handle Length: 4.5 inches (11.4 cm)Pommel: stained woodHandle Circumference: 3.25 inches (8.3 cm)Handle Material: stained woodSheathed Weight: 3.3 ounces (94 grams)Sheathed Length: 7.75 inches (19.7 cm)Belt Loop Width: 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) Marttiini has manufactured knives in Rovaniemi, Finland since 1928.
