Marttiini – Moose Knife (Wooden Box) Union Craft

Carbinox T508 steel combines the best of carbon and chrome steel; durability, toughness, easy sharpening and extreme durability. The alloy has a carbon content of 0.5% and a chromium content of 8% and a hardness of 56-57 HRC. The material is not classified as stainless, but has a much better corrosion resistance than conventional carbon steel. Careful cleaning and drying of the blade after use is the basic care for Carbinox T508. However, we recommend oiling the blade with salt-free oil from time to time.

Ordinary birch birch is also used as a material for many traditional Marttiini knives. Birch creates a durable and restrained elegant handle.

Martini knife leather sheaths are made of either vegetable or chrome tanned beef leather. Leather hides are purchased from both Europe and South America. The sheaths are made of both natural and dyed leather.

Knife sheaths are still mostly handmade. Each sheath should be exactly the same size and shape to form a matching pair with the knife. The skin is cut with a model iron, and the seams are glued together before sewing. Most sheaths have a plastic mite inside which supports the sheath and protects the blade.

Sheath prints are made either on the sheath clip or on the finished sheath. Rivets and a possible bronze collar reinforce and adorn the sheath.
