Raatiniemi Wilderness 6.2cm Knife

This is a fine piece of handcraft made in the Finnish part of Lapland in a traditional northern Scandinavian way. This is a great smaller multi-pupose knife that will stand tough usage in the forest, for hunting, fishing, carving, whittling, etc.

The blade is 6.2cm (2.5 inches) long, is very sharp and is made from quality high carbon steel hardened to HRC 63-65 and tempered to HRC 59 to balance ductility and brittleness. The blade extends with an internal tang secured to the top of the handle with a rivet. The blade is natural unpolished carbon black except for the grind.
The handle is made from a combination of curly birch, thin layers of leather and reindeer antler. It has a well designed shape which fits well in the hand and it it is finnished off very smoothly without being slippery.
The sheath is made from wetformed half-tanned leather and features an embossed moose and its tracks. It has a reindeer leather belt hanger attached to it.
