The Scandinavian Sportsman
A respectful re-interpretation of the traditional nordic knife, built entirely by hand to deliver quality performance in the field.
Traditional design with a modern twist
The Scandinavian Sportsman is designed to be a classic on the outside, using materials and features fit for todays outdoor life.
With this knife, we want to celebrate craftsmanship, great materials and the quality that comes with a fine hand built tool.
Elegance, simplicity and functionality
Used for centuries as a hunting, fishing, hiking, and general outdoor knife, its form has stood the test of time and proven its wide versatility.
This knife - weighing just about 100grams with a blade length of 90mm, will fit naturally on your hip and in your hand – very capable of handling the tasks it comes up against.
Materials
The Stacked Leather Handle
Comprised of a number of compressed leather discs, the stacked leather handle creates a beautiful element of distinction as well as it acts as a tried and true grip that keeps its warm touch in cold weather and doesn’t lose its grip in the rain.
The Blade
The Sportsman uses the Swedish steel AEB-L from Uddeholm at 61-62 HRC. It is a very well-designed knife steel, balancing high hardness with the absolute highest toughness of any stainless steel out there.
This allows a thin precisely ground edge with great cutting ability.
The Leather Sheath
We make the sheaths as well as the handles using vegetable tanned leather from the old Swedish Tärnsjö Garveri. A local tannery known for making the highest quality leather for fashion and furniture industry, still using the same environmentally friendly process of vegetable tanning since 1873.
