Wood Jewel Knives
Wood Jewel knives are made in the small town of Kolari, Finland. Kolari is located in the far north
of Finland, north of the artic circle, and well into Finnish Lappland. The knives reflect the Sami styles and
tradtions. They are designed by Kauko Raatiniemi, and the handles are assembled from multiple pieces of
reindeer antler and curly birch. The selection of wood grain seems unusually nice. The sheaths are
also in the Sami tradition, done in the deep pouch style that hangs from a twisted thong. Except as
noted, the blades are .8% high carbon steel, hardened to about 59 on the Rockwell scale.
#WJ-V; The "Carving Knife" is a basic knife with a blade about 3" long, 3/4" wide and
.130" thick. The handle is about 4 1/4" long. While it's called a carving knife, the blade shape is well
suited for an all around knife. I like this one, and would happily take it into the woods. It's only $49, Out of Stock
which isn't much for a knife with so much work in the handle.
#WJ-V10; The "10 cm. Carving Knife" is larger still, with a blade about 4 1/8" long, just over 3/4" wide, and
.130" thick. The handle is a bit larger in diameter and about 4 3/8" long. This would be suitable as a
wilderness knife, or utility knife for those with larger hands. $59. Out of Stock
#WJ-N; The "Skinning Knife" is a stout worker, with a wider blade about 3 1/2" long, 1"
wide, and .130" thick. The 4 1/2" handle is proportioned for larger hands. $59. Out of stock
#WJ-EB; The "Sami Knife" is a camp knife suited for building shelters and butchering game. The blade is 5
5/8" long, 1" wide, and .130" thick. The 5" handle is proportioned for larger hands. $79. Out of Stock
Shipping and handling is $6 per order (not per item) anywhere in the US.
Standard shipping is by Priority Mail, so please give me your mailing address, not your
UPS address. The $6 doesn't actually cover the cost in most cases, but it's
easy to calculate, and is my way of saying "thank you". Shipping is available
for most other parts of the world, but usually costs more. Email for a quote. Note;
shipping to Canada can be very slow.
Orders in New York State require sales tax. If you don't know the sales tax in your
county, I can calculate it for you, but you should expect it to be added. This applies only
to orders shipped to addresses within New York State.
Most folks use a credit card and the
encrypted secure order form. If you prefer, you can FAX your order to
716-731-3715. I'll need the type of card (Discover, Visa, or Master Charge),
card number and expiration date. If course I'll also need to know what you
are buying, and where to send it. Please include your e-mail
address.
If you don't have a FAX, you can call 716-731-3715. If your
timing is good, you can just speak to me and give me the order. If I'm not in
the office it will default to the FAX machine. No collect calls.
