Knife making in Finland

[R. Dobbs]

Greetings All,
I am moving to Helsinki, Finland this Saturday but I can't take my shop.

Does anyone have any information regarding Finnish knife makers or organizations I can contact once I'm settled in over there?

I see that there is a show over in Sweden for the Scandanavian Knifemakers Association in August, IIRC, which I plan on attending, but I thought I would jump start the search here.

Thanks for your help,
Rob

Contact Kay (pronounced Ki) Vikstrom. He's been to my shop teaching seminars a couple times. Great guy. His email address is kaitsu@multi.fi. He's north of Helsinki, but he'll most likely be able to put you in touch with someone near there.

Thanks, Keith. I appreciate it.
