Marttiini and Finnish Lapland

Janne Marttiini founded his knife company in 1928 in Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, on the edge of the Arctic Circle. The Lapp knife became one of the best-known designs of the far north, and Marttiini notes it is a favorite of reindeer herders. The company still produces it in the same region where the design was first developed. At 4.25", the blade is close in size to a classic Finnish puukko, which makes it handy for everyday work rather than heavy chopping. The name comes from an older term for the Sámi people of the region, who today prefer "Sámi," and the etching on the blade and sheath draws on traditional themes from Lapland.

Curly Birch, Stainless Steel, and a Pouch Sheath

Curly birch is a prized Nordic hardwood with a rippled grain that makes every handle look a little different. Marttiini finishes it with a light varnish for protection. The flared pommel keeps your hand from sliding off the end, even with gloves or mittens on. The stainless steel blade uses a Scandi grind, which carves cleanly and is easy to resharpen on a flat stone. The deep leather sheath covers most of the handle, has a stitched back and stamped design, and hangs from a metal ring on its belt loop so it swings freely while you walk, sit, or crouch.

From the Trail to the Gift Box

Hikers and hunters carry the Lapp 230 as a general camp knife for carving kindling, whittling tent pegs, slicing food, and dressing small game. The swinging sheath stays comfortable under a pack belt or while you sit on a log or in a hunting blind, where a stiff sheath would dig in. Because of the figured birch and etched blade, many buyers also choose it as a gift for someone with Finnish or Scandinavian roots. It is a working knife first, so keep the handle out of standing water and wipe the blade dry after use.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
