A timeless classic, the Marttiini Handy Knife has been a staple in Finnish households since the 1970s. Originally known for its incredible versatility—used for everything from peeling potatoes to carving wood—this compact knife is cherished for its practicality and precision.
The modern update combines the traditional blade shape with an elegant waxed curly birch handle, offering both comfort and style. Its shorter stainless steel blade is ideal for detailed tasks, making it a perfect tool for carving, whittling, or everyday use.
Complete with a beautifully crafted brown leather sheath, the Handy Knife remains a trusted companion for both indoor tasks and outdoor adventures.
In the 1970s, the Marttiini Handy was in nearly every Finnish household — a compact, all-purpose knife used for everything from peeling potatoes to working wood, reliable enough for the kitchen and small enough for a pocket. Decades later it remains one of Marttiini's most enduring models, updated in materials but unchanged in the qualities that made it a fixture of Finnish daily life.
The blade runs just under 3 inches — short by design, built for tasks that demand control and precision rather than reach. The stainless steel resists corrosion and resharpens easily, and the clip-point tip makes it well suited for detailed work in hand. The handle is waxed curly birch, pale and generously proportioned, with the interlocking grain that gives Finnish knife handles their natural grip even when wet. The combination of compact blade and full-sized handle is part of what makes the Handy so comfortable for extended use.
The dark brown leather sheath carries the Marttiini crest in gold — a fitting finish for a knife that has earned its place in Finnish knife history.

I gave this as a gift to my husband and he just loved it. He commented on the great workmanship and also how good it looked!
Very sharp, well made, and just what I was looking for in a small fixed blade.
