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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurly Birch, Stainless Steel, and a Pouch Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCurly 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Trail to the Gift Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHikers 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.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marttiini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67132792733937,"sku":"67132792733937","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/MN230010FINAl.jpg?v=1791383868","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/marttiini-lapp-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
