Several elements of traditional knife-making set apart the Marttiini Reindeer Explorer Puukko (Knife). The beautiful curly birch handle has a brass ferrule and is engraved with Lappish designs and capped with reindeer horn, which in Lappish folklore is believed to drive away bad spirits. The thoughtfully shaped handle is easy to grip. The stainless steel blade is in the traditional Lynx way, and features a blood groove. A dark brown leather sheath is accented with brass attachments to the loop for belt wearing and embossed with the Marttiini logo.
