Marttiini Handy 511017 Stainless, Birch, fixed knife

The Marttiini Handy 511017 is an iconic fixed-blade knife from Finland. This knife has been one of Marttiini’s most legendary and best-selling models for decades. In the 1970s, almost every household in Finland had Marttiini’s Handy model knife. It was a true all-rounder, used for both peeling potatoes, cutting wood or spreading a sandwich. The relatively short blade of this knife is particularly practical for precision work. This modern version of this model combines the traditional blade with a beautiful handle made of curly birch wood. The excellent ergonomics of this knife stand out. The Handy comes with a stylish leather sheath with ‘dangling’ belt loop for easy belt carrying.



The blade of the Marttiini Handy 511017 Stainless, Birch, fixed knife measures 7.6 cm in length and 2.6 mm in thickness. The total length is 19.3 cm.



Blade made of stainless steel
The blade of this Marttiini Handy is made of stainless steel. The manufacturer offers no further information on exactly which type of steel it is.



This knife has a scandi grind. As the name somewhat suggests, this method of sharpening originated in Scandinavia. A scandi edge excels at wood carving, which is why it is a popular choice for bushcraft knives. Sharpening a scandi edge is very easy, because the wide blade automatically guides you over the sharpening stone. Read more about sharpening a scandi edge here.



The blade has been polished, this is a premium blade finish that leaves no room for error. A polished blade ensures minimal friction while cutting, making the knife cut like a dream.
