Finally, a video of someone using a knife to do knife tasks. Preparing food, cutting meat, cutting rope, whittling. Not trying to use a small knife like a machete or an axe.
People do tons of those videos lol. The whole point of thise is to show if they can do this, then they can do that. Plus i have knives that are great cutters and slicers , but if a time came I had to do Amy sort of real work wuth it, cutting or splitting, chopping, I'd be in trouble , tgey wpukd definitely break. So it's good to know what does what. Not many people carry two knives into the woods to camp or do whatever, Mayne a kitchen knife, ive actually seen that lol, but it's good to know. I carry my martinni knife when I'm out in the woods for whatever, I live in the woods so it's often, but I also carry a mora edc , because I can do everything with it if I have to, work or play, its good to know what the limits of your blade is, your knife is everything when your out , especially for guys like me, miles and miles in the woods, no cell signal, and there is always a chance your gonna have a emergency, a rooled ankle , whatever, and be there for a few days and need to survive with it. I prefer to do woodwork and most bushcraft with my martinni, but I also know I need another knife fir other things if something happens. I sat knkw the strength and weakness of all your tools, and always carry two knife , if your out in the woods, especially for bushcrafting, even full tangs fail. That's why I carry two and just because I use one purely fir detailed work and the other for everything else.
👍 Nice to see someone using a knife for something other than beating through wood as though it were an axe. I also own one of the Marttiini Lapp knives and completely agree with your assessment. Thankfully, I’ve never needed to pound a knife through a can; I have a can opener on my Victorinox SAK for opening cans.
Nice! Marttiini does make good puukkos, have been one of my most used knives, living here in Finland. My oldest one I bought in hunting trip to Northern Lapland in 97. And boy have I used it. Imo good values. Great video, subbed! Cheers from a fellow knife lover/youtuber from a village of Fiskars, Finland!
@@jimmycricket7946 Both very good knife makers, Marttiini is a bigger company and they make their own blades, they have so many models to suite many tasks, Ahti is much smaller company with a limited range. i think they use Lauri metalli blades if i am not mistaken. you cant go wrong with ether. in the most basic models ahti has harder blades because mainly used for wood work, and marttiini has a little softer blades.
My home countrys Beautiful knives! 🤗✌️💪👍💯❤️🇫🇮 its more Than a knife! Theres a story behind everyone! and its an honor! as a gift too! a sign of brotherhood! a soul thing! a trust! a companion!
Finnland has many excellent knifemakers like this one, very good values. I will likely get the Marttiini model you reviewed here as well as some others.
Thanks for the review! As much as I love my full tang utility knives, nothing turns heads at a campfire more than my marttiini lynx. In a world of blacked out blades and tricked out folders this thing is a real standout, and I've gotten more than a few questions as to whether the knife is vintage or not. The leather sheath is more than enough to warrant a conversation. Mine is no longer as pretty as yours though, a year of hard use has really taken its toll, but its still as solid as ever. This video made me consider upgrading to the Lapp knife - thanks!
Very refreshing. A lot of vids on survival tactical Rambo type knives. I bought some, but I find they are not practical. I always go to my Mora knives. Smaller, lighter belt knives serve me better for what I do. Other people may have other needs and want the beefier tools.
Hello and thank you for the comment! It's always so cool hearing from people. One day I would love to visit Finland, such a beautiful beautiful place. Have an amazing day.
The 240 is a awesome knife and the perfect size for day trips. And for longer trips and some more heavy duty work a high quality 8" or 9" leuku would do any tasks needed.
Marttiinis have strong rat tails. They are really wide at the point where blade connects with the tang. Moreover those buttcap knives are riveted. The rivet is hidden under the cap which is attached with two soldered nails. I took one apart and it was really pain in the ass. Of course wood is an organic material so you can't really tell if its going to break but I would say you would be just fine batoning wrist thick wood.
My brother in law bought me a Marttiini Condor when he married my sister, and even as a professional cook & chef of 20 years I have never ever encountered a knife that came that sharp from the factory.
Hello my friend and thanks for watching. These are a stick tang or " rat tail tang" knives. They really are very fine knives but to be honest I don't think that they are knives best suited for extremely hard use, such as pounding through a tree, or a tin can etc. If you can only afford one decent knife, I would personally recommend a SOG seal pup elite. You can check out my full review on this knife at this link ua-cam.com/video/iE8TO_XJAPI/v-deo.html It isn't as finely crafted or as beautiful of a blade but those Seal Pup Elites are workhorses. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching. Take care🤙
If you want to have same blade shape and want purpose build knife, go for J.P Peltonen ranger knife. It is Finnish military knife, made for endure what ever you put it through.
If you looking for cheap finnish knife the terävä jääkäripuukko is also good option. Its pretty tough even though also stick tang. The tang is substantial enough to take abuse
Here in Norway these knives are very popular. Even our army is issued with an 8’’ Strømeng Samekniv. They are used as a Jack of all trades knife. From taking down small trees, open cans and skin deer and fish. I believe the marttiini you have there is stainless whereas the Norwegian is carbon steel (NB1248U). They are amazing knives
Didn't pack one in my hiking pack. Its all good though. Dried just fine. When winter hiking or camping, you're gonna get a little wet from time to time. Thanks for watching and have an amazing day.
I had one of those for about 15 years until i lost it (still belive a friends friend stole it), good knife but the steel quality has dropped since i bought my fisrt marttiini knife. I bought my first marttiini in 1991 and back then the knife and blade was made in finland. Bought another one in 2005 and the quality sucked. That knife spent most of it time on sharpening stones than in use. Untill marttiini starts to make knives that are meant to be used and not as suvenirs I wont buy another one.
Yeah. My armpit can cut sausage. Glad you followed up. Might be better to cut the hard azze’s first, then the tender azz sausage last. Just for us jerk waters. Great video. Appreciate you and the unplug advice too!

What would you recommend I buy an ahti or a martini? Which company makes a better knife in your opinion?

Well said.
One of the best reviews I have ever seen, subscribed.
Thanks so very much.
I have it too... Well I'm from Finland, but this knife is really great! Another classic Marttiini is Lynx it's Traditional basic knife.

Marttiinis are amazing knifes i love their tradional look
My brother in law bought me a Marttiini Condor when he married my sister, and even as a professional cook & chef of 20 years I have never ever encountered a knife that came that sharp from the factory.
Only from my experience using my leuku, I think they make the sheaths like that so you dint cut the leather. It is very comfortable
Thumbs up.
Puuko (the tradisionaö finnish knife) are ment to be drawn from the left side (cros draw)
Does this knife have a full tang ? Can i use it for chopping small trees and bushcraft ? , i barely afford this knife so i want to make sure it's good

I would go for Mora. Its cheap and durable.

They are amazing knives
Where in maine, I'm at the southern end watching this video with my white lab lying next to me on the couch
I'm MidCoast so probably not that far away.
Nice review. Hope you're still enjoying the knife.
Thanks! She's still going strong.
The "lapinleuku" was used on breaking reindeer bones
Traditionally "scandi knives" (misnomer since Finland is not in Scandinavia) are often carried in cross draw fashion.
Why dont you kneel on mat or something waterproof ?
Didn't pack one in my hiking pack. Its all good though. Dried just fine. When winter hiking or camping, you're gonna get a little wet from time to time. Thanks for watching and have an amazing day.

Kinda like a stuorra niibi, well almost exactly one
oh wow, I just looked those up. You weren't kidding.
They're made to be used in the cold the tempering on most good blades is way too hard when it starts getting below 0
I know him.
Posh mora
Yeah. My armpit can cut sausage. Glad you followed up. Might be better to cut the hard azze’s first, then the tender azz sausage last.
Just for us jerk waters. Great video. Appreciate you and the unplug advice too!
