Carbon steel blade
Carbon steel blade is very sharp and easy to keep sharp. On the other hand, it needs some care. Without any attention it will have corrosion damages easily. If the knife is left into a sheath wet, it will get black spots in a day or two, in few days even rust. It will stay in good condition if it is cleaned, dried and oiled after every use so it does not require any skills or tools, just some care. Our knives are always delivered with oil on the blade, in factory we use CRC Sisu maintenance oil but also other corrosion protection oils work. Oils must be removed before any use with food. You can also use normal cooking oils, those will get sticky with the time so it would be good to clean and renew oil in every few weeks. Do not apply any oil to handle or sheath. Carbon steel is easy to sharpen with natural stone, which we have for sale. The more often you sharpen, the easier it is.

Curly birch handle, oiled
The handle is oiled with cooked linseed oil, which is available in hardware stores. It would be good to apply oil yearly to the handle.

The villagers and boys were amazed and in awe when a huge oddity rolled down the road in September, 1922. Alfred Kosola’s horses had to tax their strength when drawing a sleigh with an indenting hammer of 5.000 kilograms, along the snowless road to the Järvenpää’s factory. The cubs’ imagination really took over, when they began to hear a constant pounding from the factory. It was like an iron giant’s sledgehammer banging.
