Marttiini Kiehinen Arctic Carving Knife - 3.5" Carbon Steel Blade Curly Birch Handle

The Marttiini Kiehinen also known as the Arctic Carving in some markets, is a straightforward, high-quality Finnish puukko that's an outstanding general-purpose knife perfect for bushcraft, camping, wood carving, fishing, hiking, and everyday outdoor tasks where precision and ease of maintenance matter.

Named after the Finnish word for a delicate "feather" on a feathered stick (a nod to its excellent carving performance), this compact fixed-blade delivers the classic Nordic Scandi grind with a razor-sharp edge that's ideal for fine work, while its practical size keeps it controllable and lightweight in the pack.

Key Features:

Blade: 9 cm (3.5") traditional carbon steel takes an incredibly sharp edge, excels at wood carving and detailed tasks, and is very easy to sharpen and maintain in the field. Features the signature "J. Marttiini Finland" etch; note that carbon steel requires care (wipe dry after use and oil to prevent rust).

Handle: Comfortable waxed Finnish curly birch (visakoivu) offers a natural, warm feel with a secure grip, stunning unique grain patterns (no two are identical), and a cast bronze ferrule for added durability and style.

Overall length: Approximately 19.5 cm (7.75") compact, balanced, and perfectly proportioned for all-day carry without excess bulk.

Sheath: Beautiful natural/light-colored leather belt sheath high-quality, traditional, and secure for safe transport and quick access on the trail.

Handcrafted with pride this knife embodies affordable Finnish excellence since 1928, offering legendary sharpness, practical design, and timeless appeal for campers, craftsmen, hunters, and bushcrafters alike.
