Marttiini Carbon Steel Full Tang Knife - 16 cm (6.3″)
Description
The new generation of leuku knives
This traditional design of the blade is suitable for hunting and outdoor activities. Featuring a 16cm long single edged blade this stainless steel knife bears a striking Lappish themed engraving.
The Rangers handle is made from a combination of curly birch and heat treated birch that has been contured to provide a comfortable grip and a bronze ferrule.
Overall the total length of the knife is 29cm long and includes a brown leather sheath with a belt loop for easy storage on the go.
Carbon steel
A blade made of carbon steel (chromium 3%, carbon 0,75%, HRC 55-57) is particularly adapted for whittling and is easy to sharpen back to its original sharpness yourself. In maintaining a carbon steel blade, it’s important to dry it carefully after each use. It’s also good to treat it regularly with unsalted oil, like cooking oil for example. A carefully maintained carbon steel blade will remain rust free and has a very long life.
The leather sheaths of Marttiini knives are made with either vegetable or chrome tanned oxhide. The leather hides are purchased from both Europe and South America. The sheaths are made with both dyed and natural colored leather.
The knife sheaths are still made mostly by hand. Each sheath has to be exactly the right size and shape, so it forms a fitting pair with the knife. A section of the leather is cut with a model iron, and the seams are attached with glue before sewing. Most sheaths have a plastic piece inside that supports the sheath and protects the blade.
The printing on the sheath is made on either the cut section or the finished sheath. Rivets, and in some cases a bronze collar, strengthen and adorn the sheath.
