I also love'em. Here in Finland, at least back in thd day, Marttiinis were used as Moras are used nowadays. Fnnish Moras. The again Moras were never used an outdoors, hiking knives etc. Only for construction work, knives to beat up during renovations etc. Thx for watching my friend have a great day!
Marttiini knives are awesome. I dont currently own one, but have used them growing up. They were all over the place growing up, and are still quite common around here. Can't beat a Finnish puukko...
She's a beauty. Definitely on the list to get. Your friend was lucky not to have a few chunks taken out of him.😂 Be careful out there with the Wolves, you know what happened to Liam Neeson in 'The Grey'.😂
Haha, they are not to be messed around.. This really is beauty! And also seems to be a good use knife also. Lovely grind! Thanx for watching, and have an awesome day!🌲🔪🌲
Lovely Puukko, agree on the handle different wood colors , I missed a great deal on the RAKKA VUOSIPUUKKO 2023, had such a beautiful 2 tone handle and similar blade and special grey sheath
That's a perfect example of a puukko , that size is just right. I love well designed puukko, especially the sheaths . Most Americans have no clue what a puukko is nor how the sheath functions. When I finally made a decent sheath and felt it actually pull the knife in, naturally, it was something very special. They are functional yet beautiful. It's really a cool mix of everyday tools and artwork. I have to agree with regret ... Unfortunately, I've had a few knives some I built that I gave away, which were special to me. Also, those I bought and for some reason let go of and really wish I hadn't. I'm much more careful now with the special ones 😉
”They are functional yet beautiful. It's really a cool mix of everyday tools and artwork.” Well put, my thoughts excactly. They are at best like that. This is a nicely balanced, beautiful looking work knife, that is not breaking the bank, Whats not to love. Love the blade geometry, fantastic with feathers and carving. Thanx for watching, have an awesome day!🌲🔪🌲
Marttiini did a really attractive handle on the knife and the patterned carbon blade is a classic too. I think the Lynx shaped handle may be the way to go...seems like the knob on the end would make it easier to pull out of the sheath when using mitts or gloves. I have some knife parts coming in the mail, so the plan is to do a run of Lynx style handles and compare them to Tommi and end cap style handles like on a Leuku. Also got a Laurin edge hardened blade in the shipment so it will be interesting to compare to normal carbon blades. Not sure about wolves - I was always taught that they were harmless to humans but some stories told by co-workers in the far north changed my mind about them. I guess they get pretty bold if they're in a pack and hungry. I'd like to learn how to sweep a cork out of a bottle - seems like a vital knife skill.🤓 Thanks for posting; have a good weekend.
Yeah the Wolf are nothing to mess around. In these neck of the woods happened the most gruesome Wolf attack in European History. They slaughtered at lest 28 children in mid 1800 hundreds. Nearest kill was about 10 km from where I live. These woods have always had a lot of wolves. Your knife plans sounds awesome!. I always liked the Lynx handle, very comfortable. Though I prefere the Knob at the end not to be too pronounced, like here.
My Father once owned a Marttiini Rapala that he gifted to a friend of mine. It was probably the sharpest factory edge I have ever encountered. They do put quite a bit of care into their knives for being basically budget. I was curious on how their puukkos performed. Thank you for showing us how amazing it feathers! I have been in the market for a while (watching many videos reviewing them) Chopper/Machete type tools for the woods and came across the Condor Amalgam (Joe Flowers Design). Excited for it's arrival. I am sure it would deal with those wolves with ease 😂 Do you use/like using choppers or do you generally stick with an Axe and smaller/medium knives? Always love your content. Be safe out there! -Seth
Oh cool, Marttiini Rapala! Yeah they are great budget puukkos for sure! Im nowadays more of a chopper/Leuku/large blade kind of guy. I love axes but I just use them more in the garden. Have to check that Condor amalgam! Thanx for watching, have a great day!🌲🐺🌲
Thank You! I think you cant go wrong with both of the knives to be honest. Eräpuu knives are one of the top QPR puukko out there. And Marttiini Lynx is part of Finnish Puukko history. One of the most sold puukkos in Finnish history. (dont mean to advertise own videos, but I did video of the Lynx, so maybe you'd be interested of that.) Thanx for watching, have a great weekend!🌲🐺🌲
Thanks! I thought I remembered a video about the Lynx, but I was too lazy to look for it. Lol. I'm planning to order a Peltonen Ranger puukko, and I can get free shipping if I order $150 worth of stuff. So I have been looking at a few options, especially since shipping is $26.@@OldForestBushcraft
Cool beans! Hopefully you will post the interview on your channel. I really want the leather sheath along with the excellent knife, and it seems the only way to get it for a reasonable price is to order from Lamnia.@@OldForestBushcraft
Someone mentioned Marttiini is no longer making their knives in Finland and producing them abroad now? Is that true? If so, where are they made? Just curious, the Marttiini Brand has such a rich history and a National Symbol of Finland, it breaks my heart to know such a National treasure is no longer producing them there. 😱😪
Oh, no I hope this is not true. I thought they make them in south Finland. This blade is Laurin Metalli (80crv2), from Kauhava.. have to check this!! Thanx for watching!!🌲🐺🔪
I checked it. They make the puukkos still in Finland (In Vääksy village. I drove past the factory about month ago, when I was visiting middle Finnish lakeland). They moved some the production to Estonia. Would like that they would only in Finland, but I guess Estonia (our brother nation) is not the worse.
Very nice! Love the longer blade, what does Kierinki mean? I see the names, but do not know if they have special meaning, is there a suitable translation? Thanks! 👍
👍 I like that Marttiini knives are so consistantly good no matter the price range. Magically tough also. Nice presentation brother!
They are great! Im truly happy with this one. And great to have one after so many years. Knife Nostalgia!
Thanx for watching, have great weekend!🌲🐺🌲
I love Marttiini knives! Simply perfect 💥👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Yeah, they are a great value knives for sure👍
Thanx for watching, have a great day!
great knife priced fairly I have several always done me right
Yeah, very nice first impression! Also not breaking the bank.
Thanx for watching, have a great day!

I love Marttiini knives. They are way underrated and overlooked here in America. They are much more classy than Mora
I also love'em. Here in Finland, at least back in thd day, Marttiinis were used as Moras are used nowadays. Fnnish Moras.

That is a beautiful knife...love to find one like that.
Very happy with this one. And after so many years nice to have a Marttiini. Knife Nostalgia for me!
Thanx for watching, have a great weekend!🌲🐺🌲
Im a marttiini addict, they are great knives, i just got the marttiini Aapa to add to my collection
They do make really really nice knives! Those were the knives I grew up with here in Finland.
Thx for watching, have a great day!
Afonchenko knives makes beautiful pukkoos.
They are very beautiful!
(btw. Czech Lager is one of my absolute favorites, beautiful country!)
Thanx for watching, have a great weekend!🌲🐺🌲

Oh didnt know they were pouplar also in Canada! Great affordable puukkos. Still very good qpr knives.

Lovely. I’ve alway liked Marttiini.
I think this is a good example of knives where beauty meets functionality. Not breaking the bank either..
Thanx for watching, have a great day!🌲🔪🌲
Very nice Martinni knife , i love the handle design.
Yeah, Marttiini Handles are really nice!
Thx for watching, have a great day!
Lovely Puukko, agree on the handle different wood colors , I missed a great deal on the RAKKA VUOSIPUUKKO 2023, had such a beautiful 2 tone handle and similar blade and special grey sheath
Im liking this alot.. not that bad of a price either. That Rakka vuosipuukko looks also really great!
Thanx for watching, have an awesome day!🌲🔪🌲
I have a number of martinni knifes I always like them
Yeah they are nice and affordable puukkos! Thanx for watching!🌲🔪🌲
That's a perfect example of a puukko , that size is just right.

They are functional yet beautiful. It's really a cool mix of everyday tools and artwork.

Good video. Built brisa kephart, working on sheath. I do like 80crv2 steel..
Thank you! Nice your building Kephart your own!

@@8626John JP Peltonen M95 is awesome knife! Btw. Going to do interview with him in couple of weeks. (he is my neighbour, really nice guy)
Cool beans! Hopefully you will post the interview on your channel. I really want the leather sheath along with the excellent knife, and it seems the only way to get it for a reasonable price is to order from Lamnia.@@OldForestBushcraft
The leather sheath of Peltonen is one of the best sheaths around! So practical. Yeah, will definitely post it in the channel..@@8626John
Great story about "sabrage" on a wine bottle!😂
hahah, yeah pretty unusual test for an outdoors knife, lol!

@@OldForestBushcraftsince October 2023 they only produce in Pärnu, Estonia ....sad but true

Hi! Kierinki is the village where the founder, Janne Marttiini was born, In north lapland.
Thanx for watching have a great weekend!🌲🐺🌲
@@OldForestBushcraftYes, heard you mention it, doh! Sorry it did not register with me at the time. Great review!
En suosi enää Marttiinia, se on siirtänyt tuotantonsa ulkomaille! Harmittavaa...... 🙄
😪😪
Ou nou, Luulin että tekee jossain etelä suomessa. Tämä terä on kai Laurin Metalli. Pitää tarkistaa!
