Ragnar's Finnish Knife Catalog
This one is just a bit smaller. The carbon steel blade is about 3 1/2" long, 5/8" wide, and .093" thick. The sides are left black from the heat treatment, and have a nicely rustic look. The tang runs the full length of the handle and is peened into a brass nut. The handle is about 3 3/4" long, and sized for average or smaller hands. It's made from stained birch and has a slightly textured or rough surface for a secure grip. The traditional leather sheath hangs from a twisted thong. There is a plastic insert for safety. The knife weighs just under 2 ounces, or 3 1/4 ounces in the sheath. It would make a good neck knife, or a light knife for hikers.
