The Marttiini Lynx Forged is the carbon steel version of one of Finland's most enduring blade profiles — the lynx blade developed by founder Janne Marttiini in the 1930s, brought to life here in a forged blade that carries the marks of its making. The slightly upturned tip remains the lynx blade's defining characteristic, making it an excellent reliable tool for wilderness trips.

The 4.33-inch blade is forged from carbon steel — a material that demands more care than stainless but rewards that attention with exceptional sharpness and edge retention that outlasts softer steels. It takes a keen edge and holds it well through extended use, making it particularly well suited for carving and detail-oriented camp tasks. Carbon steel will develop a natural patina over time and should be dried and lightly oiled after use to prevent rust. The forged blade carries a hand-worked character visible in its texture — a darker spine contrasting against the polished cutting edge.

The handle is waxed Finnish curly birch — the wax treatment protecting the wood against moisture while preserving the warmth of the natural swirling grain. No two handles look alike.

The natural tan vegetable-tanned leather sheath is hand-stitched and embossed with a scale pattern resembling the forged carbon steel blade — a clean, understated design that lets the knife speak for itself. A serious outdoor knife for those who want the performance of carbon steel in a classic Finnish form.
