Finn Knives are handmade knives of Lapin Hirvas in between. The blades of knives Lapin knives are made ​​by carbon steel. Sharpening of carbon steel is very easy. You only need a stone.
The knives from Lapland are usable for livetime, may be Also Sometimes longer.


Mixed feelings because I am the owner of a couple every use of this Finnish company and because waiting with much anticipation and I was disappointed.


Purchased online, takes his own and customer contact is zero. But hey null null.

Nothing "comes the part that you day" or "already goes there" ..

Because you ask them (10 days later) and will report three days later to receive the mail saying that if you already sent and will take 5 to 7 days



Hunting blade and skinner

Strange way to take anywhere, using rigid internal separators, a blade mounted on the other to save space.

The sheath with good leather and sewn by machine (dam marks the machine visible to the naked eye)

The blade also comes decentered, bent slightly to the left and the termination of the "finger tab" is not symmetrical on both sides.

The birch wood Lapland. waxed or not comes with marks .. I guess partly because wood is a soft and partly because the shipping is, shall we say, poor (large cardboard box, cover with paper, but not involving the sheath and knives)

Sand to 220 , no more. And dirty

Excellent grip (maybe the Nordic is a little thick for my hand but is small)

Well this is the "Odyssey" of a simple utility knives that do not reach € 100



Sorry for my English

PD.
I sent an email and reply was.

Hello!

All our knives and sheats are handmade.

You are first who is sad about our quality.

Well, as another user commented

What does this have to do with 'handmade'?
Hands only carry the knife from machine to machine.

I was actually looking for this video to show it as a perfect example of what 'handmade' isn't.
 
It does not look too bad to me. It is not kind of "handmade" fancy knife, rather something in line with Marttiini Lynx: in 30-40 dollar range for a knife. Considering that you have got a set here, which is likely to be a slower moving item, I would expect it to comand some moderate premium over two single knives. I agree with you about material and finishes, but Finnish labor does not come cheap. After all they have to hand carry these knives from machine to machine.
