Lapinpuukko: mixed views

[video=youtube_share;dEytJxZQbi8]http://youtu.be/dEytJxZQbi8[/video]

Finn Knives are handmade knives of Lapin Hirvas in between. The blades of knives Lapin knives are made ​​by carbon steel. Sharpening of carbon steel is very easy. You only need a stone.
The knives from Lapland are usable for livetime, may be Also Sometimes longer.


Mixed feelings because I am the owner of a couple every use of this Finnish company and because waiting with much anticipation and I was disappointed.


Purchased online, takes his own and customer contact is zero. But hey null null.

Nothing "comes the part that you day" or "already goes there" ..

Because you ask them (10 days later) and will report three days later to receive the mail saying that if you already sent and will take 5 to 7 days



Hunting blade and skinner

Strange way to take anywhere, using rigid internal separators, a blade mounted on the other to save space.

The sheath with good leather and sewn by machine (dam marks the machine visible to the naked eye)

Finishing just simply

No polish spine and edges on guard ..

Come on, craft? ... This is not to look at details and you care little what the others think ... no quality control

The blade also comes decentered, bent slightly to the left and the termination of the "finger tab" is not symmetrical on both sides.

The birch wood Lapland. waxed or not comes with marks .. I guess partly because wood is a soft and partly because the shipping is, shall we say, poor (large cardboard box, cover with paper, but not involving the sheath and knives)

Sand to 220 , no more. And dirty

Excellent grip (maybe the Nordic is a little thick for my hand but is small)

The largest Nordic grip that Skinner

And with a cutting edge with sharping pop smoothness not expect to see the machining of the grinding in blade (hardness 63)

Well this is the "Odyssey" of a simple utility knives that do not reach € 100



Sorry for my English

PD.
I sent an email and reply was.

Hello!

All our knives and sheats are handmade.

You are first who is sad about our quality.

Well, as another user commented

What does this have to do with 'handmade'?
Hands only carry the knife from machine to machine.

I was actually looking for this video to show it as a perfect example of what 'handmade' isn't.

not handmade by any stretch, but I'm afraid you get what you pay for. 100 Euro for two knives is not going to buy you very much in the way of quality of finish (and quality in use will be in question too)

For 50 € buy any knife industry with good finishes and flawless.
If they do not offer the quality ... few knives will sell.
Handmade should not mean bad made

Where the path takes me
All that youtube clip shows is 'mass production'. I'm certain that the handmade knives I own have been made which considerably more care and 'passion'.


Spend £10-£20 and buy a Mora if you want a good knife to knock about or get real 'handmade' maker to create an hierloom for you.


:eek:

Thats for the review

I was looking at these a while back but think i'll save my pennies

I'm not that fussed about 'handmade' but the F+F should be of a reasonable standard

plenty of decent knives for that sort of price leave the factory in much better condition
