MATERIALS 50 TRADITIONAL KNIVES Marttiini Traditional Series knives respect Finnish knife making and craftmanship skills, classic designs and arctic region’s traditions for decoration. TRADITIONAL Lynx was Marttiini’s very first knife model. It has been in production since the factory’s beginning. Lynx was awarded the best product award at the Viipuri knife fair in 1932. The Lynx knife’s special feature is the blade’s dropped point: the slightly curved blade tip makes it easier to lift a hot coffee pot from a camp fire. Lynx knives are still in production and KNIVES follow the original design. Lappknife – lapinleuku – is one of the most popular knives in the northern regions. Lappknives are used for splitting wood for fire, slicing frozen reindeer meat and all kinds of carving and cutting. This excellent wilderness knife is also perfect for hunting and skinning. Marttiini still produces the Lappknife, which is favoured by reindeer herders in the same region where the model was originally born.
