Need some help identifying the model of this Marttiini knife please...

[DuranX]

Hello folks,

I have a Marttiini knife that was given to me by a family member but I can't find any information on which model it is.
It appears to be a discontinued model. I e-mailed Marttiini Knives a couple of days ago but no response yet. I am sure they are busier with more important things.

Can someone be able to tell by these pictures which exact model this one is?

I would greatly appreciate your help!

Go down the left side and look through the different styles. I didn't find the exact model, though.

Thanks Esav, had already done that but no exact match found

How old is the knife? Richard Stein is quite an authority on earlier models. Dunno if he's a member here though.

That is the first time I see Marttiini with such a handle shape. In fact it does not look authentic to me. My guess would be that somebody used Marttiini blade and guard and made his own handle and sheath.

Sheath has Marttiini engravings as well, not that i am an expert but it looks authentic. Anything is possible I guess, i will still wait for that final confirmation. Thanks to all who took the time to help me. It is killing me not knowing....

Poez, see http://www.marttiini.fi/in_english/...pUrl=/Marttiini_Hunting-list.aspx?CultureID=1

Bottom row, 2 in the middle, one has handle shape, other has guard.
I agree the sheath looks like it came from somewhere else.

Actually, I just heard back from the company.

They wrote: "This looks like old hunting knife model article *460010 which was manufactured last time in 1996.* Blade is chrome steel and handle is curly birch."

Whew...it was killing me. Thank you to all who replied, greatly appreciate it!
