History

The history of Fiskars began in the seventeenth century. Enterprising Swede received permission from the Queen to produce forged and cast iron products (except guns). They produced here also household tools: shovels, knives, axes, scissors, needles and so on.

Almost two hundred years later, the pharmacist D. Ya. Zhulin acquired the production. He completely modernizes production, invites English engineers, trains employees. All this allowed the end of the nineteenth century to launch production of more than a hundred models of Finnish knives - Puukko.

Military orders for knives "Fiskars" accounted for the lion's share of the entire production. They helped the company monopolize the market by gradually buying up competitors.

• Bayonet-knife shaped (by Axel Gallen-Kallela);
• Bayonet bayonets, were attached to various types of firearms, including Mosin's rifle ;
• Special bayonet-knife for the Finnish assault rifle model Valmet Rk 62;
• M95 combat knife (author Captain Peltonen).

Still, the main products today are Fiskars household knives, as well as shovels, scissors, axes, goods for needlework and garden tools.

Features

Against the background of numerous cutting tools presented in the world market, Fiskars knives are distinguished by their characteristics. Comments of consumers note the quality forged Finnish carbon steel, which is used for the production of blades. Teflon and antifriction coating of the blade allows the tool to work for many years.

On the handle are valuable tree species (more expensive specimens) and a durable fiberglass reinforced polyamide. The form guarantees a comfortable grip, and the textured surface - no slip, even if the grip is wet.

Sheaths require special attention. Produced in two versions: leather and plastic. The engineers of the company found the original solution in the form of a rubber wheel for fixing the knife in the scabbard. They are attached to the strap with a loop on Velcro (for this you do not have to remove it). Plastic sheath have bright orange inserts. Leather made of high quality material and decorated with embossing.
