Default Marttiini Golden Lynx

I have had some Marttiini knives before, wonderful Finnish steel, but by far the nicest one is this Golden Lynx. I got this one last week, the wood is gorgeous, but it needed a bit more so I put on three coats of Tru-Oil. Just enough to make it look better but not make it so slick you can't hang onto it.

Is that curly birch? Very nice. One of my two Marttiinis, a Lynx Lumberjack, not as nice a knife as yours, but I am quite pleased with it. It is small enough to wear on a cord around my neck.



My son has a hipsterish friend who swears by his Marttiinis. He is a Finlander from the UP who grew up with Marttiinis at home, and sniffs at Moras.

That curly wood looks awesome.

We came through Rovaniemi in 1992 on a Norway-Finland-Sweden road trip to the Nordkapp, the Northern tip of Europe, and stopped at the factory. Our travel budget was pretty tight (and Scandinavia is expensive!), so we didn't get the classiest models, but we each bought one as a memento. They even offered free engraving. Okay, so it looks a bit home-baked, but hey, it was done by a real Marttiini employee .
