Finnish Tikka Carbon Steel Knife

Manufactured in Kauhava, Finland, Ahti knives have a long and esteemed history in the art of knife making. Crafted by Reino Kamppila and his son, these knives are the product of a fourth-generation family business dedicated to the craft. Despite operating from a smaller shop, they consistently deliver knives of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. The knives, along with their leather sheaths, are not only visually stunning but also highly functional. Following the Scandinavian tradition, the handles are meticulously fashioned from curly birch, providing both elegance and practicality. The knives feature polished brass fittings, with plastic inserts in the sheaths to ensure protection for both the sheath and the user's hand, given the sharpness of the blades.

Among their collection is the Tikka, aptly named the "Woodpecker," a compact and lightweight knife with a shorter blade and a full-sized handle, offering precise control for carving and whittling. While slightly large for a neck knife, its weight is negligible when worn on the belt, almost imperceptible to the wearer. Detailed specifications for the Tikka knife are as follows:
