Thanks for sharing!

Thought you might enjoy this history link...only in English and Suomi, but your knife was made in a little house after shop destroyed by the War...they still assemble even pricier knives and use outsourced high quality hand forged blades by a somewhat reclusive smith, and him using probably a handheld hammer.

Unrelated to your knife, or even their latest handforged collectibles, but wanted to mention the also unrelated Lauri blades (Laurin Metall Oy)....they use Thysen Krupp clean high carbon steel, which as with the Bohler Uddeholm used by Mora, can be taken to circa 60 Rc without embrittlement, and in between the steel and blade grind, will outperform many more expensive blades even of custom makers worldwide, and these blades used on knives which retail for circa $30-$100.....just good solid knives for real knife use from Finland.
