Finnish knives

You're welcome to my homepage. I'm a man, born in 1964, from Northern Finland, county called Pohjois-Pohjanmaa. I live with my family in a village called Kiiminki. Kiiminki is located near town of Oulu.

I have had blacksmithing ( knife making ) as a hobby for ten years. First five - six years I made knives from knife-making kits. Last 4 years I have studied forging itself and made all blades by myself. All leatherwork (sewing, decoration ) I do manually.

The most interesting Finnish knives are; Tommi-, Kokemäki- Rautalampi- and Pekanpää-knife. All those are old Finnish traditional models and their spirit of design gives me a lot.

In 2008, I got good succes in Finnish Championship of knifemaking. In my class I got the 1st prize in utility knife serie and 3rd prize in regional knife serie.

In 2009 also 1st prize in utility knife serie in Finnish Championship of knifemaking.

2010 silver medals in Master Class in utility knife and hunting knife series.

There are, in my homepages, some samples during past year from knives I have done. Unfortunately picture texts are mainly in Finnish.
