Description
These knives were made by Laurin Metalli in Kauhava Finland. Everything we have ever received from Lauri has been quality and these are no different. Offered at a great price! Black handle and Red sheath. Lanyard in both the bottom of the sheath and in the handle of the knife.
It has been brought to my attention that not all, but many of these have a very tiny chip missing at the tip of the knife. We have now posted pictures that represent how small this is but we want you to be sure of what you are getting. Most likely occured when pushing the blade into the handle on a hard surface. If you decide to grind the spine down to a 90degree spine, you will certainly work your way past the issue.
When I was visiting in April of 2024, Mr. Lauri showed me one of these knives and I knew we had to offer them. They are quite comfortable, light, but yet solid knives made out of 80CrV2.
It seems to me that these were the Finnish response to the Mora Basic 511 and they sure nailed it. These will make a Great utility and Carving knife!
The knife can be put into the sheath either way and the clip on the sheath can be removed and replaced on the other side to work for right or left-handed folks. Lanyard hole in handle!
There is one thing that I do not love about them. The blades were inserted into the handles instead of the Handles molded over the Blades. This means that there is a small gap on either side of the blade where it meets the handle. If I were to use this for any cooking or food purposes, I would seal this gap with epoxy or a hard glue to avoid any bacteria or food from getting stuck inside.
