3445 Scout Small Knife from Finland - Compact & Durable Outdoor Knife for Camping, Hiking & Survival

The Iisakki Järvenpää Company was founded in 1879 and is the largest manufacturer of knives in Kauhava, Finland, a well-known town which has a long and rich history of knife making. Handles are made from locally sourced curly birch wood, occasionally with birch bark spacers. Fittings are also produced internally at their factory. The result is a complete item that is 100% sourced from the same manufacturer, designed and created to work together seamlessly. The blades are all ground individually, making each one a bit unique, and all are stamped with Iisakki Järvenpää's signature. Sheathes are stamped with images of reindeer and forests, highlighting Finland's strong culture of outdoors, hunting, and woodcraft. This looks like a traditional Scandinavian Scout knife, with a guard and a sheath with a snap, but the size of the blade and handle would equally suit an adult as a utility knife, camp knife, or as a hunting knife. The handle is stacked leather and the fittings are aluminum.Below are the detailed measurements of this knife. One important note: for best comfort and grip, the length of your middle finger should be similar to the circumference of the handle.Blade Material: high carbon steel, hardened to 57-58 RockwellKnife Length: 7.5 inches (19 cm)Blade Length: 3.75 inches (9.5 cm)Blade Width: 0.75 inches (1.9 cm)Blade Thickness: 0.11 inches (2.8 mm)Knife Weight: 1.9 ounces (54 grams)Handle Length: 3.45 inches (8.8 cm)Pommel: brass capHandle Circumference: 3 inches (7.6 cm)Handle Material: stacked polished birchSheathed Weight: 3.6 ounces (102 grams)Sheathed Length: 8 inches (20.3 cm)Belt Loop Width: 2 inches (5.1 cm)
