The maker is Harri Merimaa from Finland. His site: http://www.kolumbus.fi/harri.merimaa/
His knives are mostly puukkos which means they have slightly more acute scandi grind compared to other western scandis.
I would categorize most of his knives as cheap workable handmade puukkos but you might also notice he makes a puukko folder that is made of Lauri puukko blade and the rest is a cheap chinese kit(the frame with handle liners and linerlock).
He uses Lauri blades in general. They are made of german carbon steel which is quite close to O-1 in chemical composition, hardness should be at around 59 HRc.
