Nordic Knife Design Korpi 85 Blade

NKD is the knife brand of Dennis Holmbacka from Finland, mixing old Finnish knife traditions with new advancements in steel and design. The result is a unique combination of quality blades made in proven steels, often mixing traditional blade shapes and grinds with modern tang construction, carry options and weight distribution. 

The Korpi 85 is the new version of the Korpi 90 with a wider belly and somewhat pointier in the profile.

This fulltang knife blade has the profile of the original Tommi puukko, and can be easily built with two scales and corby rivets. If you look for a challenge then use the pins holes, that enable for a more sophisticated version with brass bolsters at the ends.
The Tommi knife is one the most well know Finnish puukko models, developed in the area of Kainuu in the east of Finland around 1860.
