Choose the right size for your knife

Valitse oikea koko veitsellesi

With so many knives to choose from with various sizes and blade lengths, it can be difficult to know which one that would suit you better. It can also be difficult to appreciate the size differences between our knives. That’s why we created a simple size guide.

There's no right or wrong length on your knife, it depends on what you’re going to use it for and how you want to carry it. If you’re looking for a pocket knife or a knife to help you chop wood — the size will vary. Remember though, the strength doesn’t lie in the size of the knife, but in the steel and quality.

Looking for a larger knife?

A larger knife is convenient if you need help with real demanding outdoor tasks. Even though you can do a lot with a smaller knife, a large survival knife is good to have when cutting through large pieces of wood, setting camp, creating a fire or when removing dense vegetation in a forest.

A large knife is better when you can use the extra couple of centimetres. A larger knife or machete can also be worn on your hip, making it easier to carry than a larger axe for example. However — this model is not ideal for more detailed work such as skinning or carving.

Looking for a medium size knife?

Our medium sized knives are great for both the workshop and the woods, and the delicate blade has made these models a popular all-round hunting companion, as they lend themselves well to both large and small game.

While they aren't quite as handy as small knives, and not as powerful as large ones, they do offer a great deal of versatility. Our medium sized knives will most likely become the only tool you need. They take on outdoor life, hunting, fishing and camping with ease.

Looking for a pocket-size knife?

If you're looking for a small and handy knife we got that too. Our smaller knives are loyal companions perfect for detailed jobs in wood work and cooking, with greater control in handling both small and medium size game. They’re also compact, pocket-sized workhorses with the ability to fit any space, and are therefore highly likely to become your most used backcountry knife.

Whatever the task, a small pocket-size knife will handle it. You could use it for cutting rope, whittling, handling and preparing food, hunting and much more. They are more useful than some might think.
