Marttiini Knives

The Lynx was the first knife to be made by Marttiini, and it's been in continuous production since the factory's very beginning. The Lynx was awarded the "Best Product" award at the Viipuri Fair in 1932. The main characteristic that makes the Lynx popular is the blade's curve. The slightly upturned blade tip makes it easier for skinning and to lift to a hot kettle from the camp fire. The blade has a beautiful Satin polish finish and comes inscribed with "J. Marttiini, Finland" on the blade flat. The Golden Lynx features a brass bolster and a leather sheath. The design and decorations on the sheath also reflect their strong Lappish traditions. Lynx knives continue to be manufactured to the original Marttiini design.

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. The golden Lynx features a lighter, polished version of curly birch, giving it a golden appearance.
