The Marttiini Full Tang knife is made from 440 high carbon steel with a 13% chromium to provide a strong, durable blade that is resistant to rusting.
The full tang design is 25cm long with a contured handle that incorporates a finger guard. The blade itself is 11cm long consisting of a single edged design with a stainless steel finish. Due to its sharpness and durability the Full Tang is suitable for hunting and other outdoor activities
Attached to the handle is two pieces of black pakkawood (laminated plywood) to create a comfortable grip for the user. Pakkawood is an extremely durable and hygienic material that when combined with the Full Tang's stainless steel construction results an easy to maintain knife.
Finally the Full Tang comes with a black leather sheath that incorporates both leather strap but a snap closure to ensure safe stowage when carried.
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.
