The Chief
The Chief knife was born a couple of years ago, when we discovered that we have one casted bird head pommel in our museum collection. We don't have any documents why it has been made nor is it ever used in any knife models. What we believe, it has been some experiment but not succeeded into the production. We made a mold of this unique piece and casted it from brass. Original model was sand casted. We did not correct or change any forms of it.
Size of the bird head is quite big, from our current models it was good for the Kontio knife blade. It has a carbon steel blade made for hard use. The handle is curly birch, painted black. Fittings are brass, lower fitting is pressed and the head is casted. The sheath is made of black vegetable oil tanned cowhide, and the belt is also brass. This knife is big, it has 15 cm blade.
For technical features this knife is made for use. But for what purpose? We really can not tell. The Chief is made for the Chiefs, and we think there is enough reason for that. We made a small series of this knife. We might do some more later, but these you can not see everywhere. And not anyone is the Chief.
Die Dorfbewohner und die Jungs waren begeistert und in Ehrfurcht, als eine riesige Kuriosität im September 1922 die Straße entlang rollte. Alfred Kosolas Pferde mussten ihre ganze Stärke aufbieten beim Ziehen des Schlittens, der mit einem Hammer von 5,000 kg beladen, unterwegs zu der Järvenpää Fabrik war. Die Jungen glaubten in ihrer Fantasie bereits das konstante Hämmern im Werk zu hören. Es war ein riesiger Vorschlaghammer, der aussah, wie ein großes Bügeleisen.
