Nordic Knife Design Korpi 90 Knife With Curly Birch Scales

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. 

 (This is something as exciting as a Finnish Tommi blade but with a fulltang construction! I am super excited to see this one. Bjorn's comment)

This fulltang knife blade has the profile of the original Tommi puukko, with handle scales in Curly Birch and with brass corby bolts. The knife comes with a leather sheath in traditional Nordic style.
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.
