Marttiini Knives

Marttiini Special knives make very impressive and refined gifts and collector's knives. In addition to their main purpose, they are designed to be both unique and pleasing to the eye. Many of their special knives have a story to tell: memories, history, traditions or celebrations. The Marttiini Special series includes regular anniversary and annual models that have limited production runs and selling times.

The traditional handle material of Finnish knives is curly birch. This tree grows mostly in central and eastern Finland. The fiery looking curly birch is perfect material for a knife handle, because it's durable and beautiful. 

A blade made of carbon steel is especially suitable for carving and is to hone back to its original sharpness. With a carbon blade, it's important to dry it immediately after use. It would also be a good idea to treat it regularly with a rust inhibitor, so that the blade remains rust free.

Knife sheaths are still mostly made by hand. Each sheath must be exactly the designed size and appearance so that it forms a perfect couple with the knife. The surface finishing may also include varnish that increases its dash and protects the sheath from dirt and moisture.
