Quantity never overrides quality, ​

although it is born of it: ​

The thousands of hours spent forging, ​

heat treating, polishing and sewing sheaths ​

- all by hand - ​

has brought me recognition as ​

one of the topbladesmiths in Scandinavia. ​

​

Especially among those who collect Finnish puukkos ​

- the knives made famous by the heroic Finnish rangers ​

who used them as allpurpose tools and back-up weapons ​

against the overwhelming Russian enemy during ​

the winter and continuation wars in 1939-1945. ​

​

The one thing in common to every blade I forge ​

- no matter if it is a small everyday user ​

or a big damascus-bladed Viking-sword ​

is the close attention to the quality of the used materials ​

and the heat-treating process. ​

​

My forge is situated about a 2-hour-drive from the arctic circle. ​

You can be sure, that when your special needs ​

meet quality high carbon steel in my workshop you will, ​

as an end result, have something that is not only beautiful to look at, ​

but also excels in performing the tasks it was designed for. ​

A real hand made Finnish work of art in a very sharp package!​
