Marttiini MN535010 Scandinavian Knife Imported from Finland

Description: Marttiini MN535010 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.The blade of this knife is inscribed with the Marttiini signature, which stands out in silvery relief against the blackened blade. The handle has very little contouring, which is useful for allowing a variety of different grips, including pressing the palm of your other hand against the pommel to apply more force for tip carving. The plain leather sheath is very deep and takes almost the enitre length of the knife, is stamped with the Marttiini logo and the profile of the knife blade, and contains a partial insert to protect both the sheath and the hand from being cut by a blade which is inserted incorrectly. The belt loop is attached with a metal ring, which gives much more flexibility and keeps the knife out of the way while sitting and crouching.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: 7.625 inches (19.4 cm)Blade Length: 3.5 inches (8.9 cm)Blade Width: 0.55 inches (1.4 cm)Blade Thickness: 0.11 inches (2.8 mm)Knife Weight: 2.6 ounces (74 grams)Handle Length: 4.25 inches (10.8 cm)Pommel: finished woodHandle Circumference: 3.5 inches (8.9 cm)Handle Material: curly birchSheathed Weight: 4.3 ounces (122 grams)Sheathed Length: 8.75 inches (22.2 cm)Belt Loop Width: 2 inches (5.1 cm) Marttiini has manufactured knives in Rovaniemi, Finland since 1928.
