Anyone here into Scandi/Nordic knives ?

[CopilotATS-55]

I have an EKA folding scandi and a Roselli Grandfather. I love Scandinavian knives and the simplicity, and recommend them to anyone :)

Lerman, thats one good looking knife! :) I like the file pattern still showing.

Wow, I have a J Martiini which looks like the lynx, but has a darker wood handle & the tang goes right through handle & rivets over a convex brass washer. The blade is engraved J Martiini Finland & something else on bevel maybee mois? Blade length is 108 mm handle & bolster 115 mm , it goes into a leather sheath ,stamped J Martiini Finland, belt loop, riveted & stitched & the bottom end is shaped something like a moose antler. The spine of this knife is very thick 4 mm.
Could you please tell me some more about this knife ,nightdog, like intended use & the blade always stays shiny, could it be stainless ?

Well O,I'm no expert on Scandi's, just have been around them all my life.
has the blade weared out so, that the text can't be seen any more?
That "mois" doesn't say anything to me. Spine thickness is usually 3-5mm on Puukko's, so the can take a beating, and then some.
intended use; all purpose knife(puukko). Anything you would use a Fixed blade knife, go ahead and try the Puukko too. It's been a tool from ancient times, used by hunters and herders, farmers, outdoorsmen, etc..
If you needed to cut, whittle, carve, stab, slice, something, one would use puukko. Bigger Leuku's are still used instead of small axes. It's a shame that my poor english, and lack of words prevents me to praise the Puukko some more :) But it's our national heritage in a big way.
Other Scandi knives are just as good, they are made by the same principles, and all scandi's(incl.Puukko's) do look lot a like.

If the blade would be carbon steel, you would see it pitting quite easily, so if you have used it in wet/damp, and it's still shiny, i guess it is stainless.
