Scandinavian knives: shaped by the arctic climate

Features of Scandinavian knives

Scandinavian knives are known for their versatility. These knives excel at slicing, chopping and even splitting wood.

Many models feature blades made of Sandvik steel, a high-quality steel that excels in sharpness and wear resistance, ideal for the challenging Scandinavian countryside. The handles, made of materials such as birch wood, reindeer antlers or advanced plastics, offer excellent grip and comfort even in extreme weather conditions.

Scandi grind

A unique feature of Scandinavian knives is Scandi grind, a single-bevel edge that provides excellent sharpness and is easy to maintain in the field. This edge is perfect for woodworking.

With a Scandi-grind, you will effortlessly make feathersticks, cut fine woodwork or perform bushcraft tasks. An added advantage is that this edge is easy to maintain. You can sharpen the knife at home on whetstones or on the go with a pocket sharpening stone.

Close to nature

Scandinavian knives reflect the strong connection with nature. Brands such as Karesuando and Helle use beautiful natural materials for their handles, such as curly birch, classic oak or even cork. These handles bring not only functionality, but also a piece of the arctic landscape into your hand. With a Scandinavian knife, you literally carry a piece of nature with you.
