We are Finnish- American family business. Our mission is to import high quality, unique and original products from Northern Europe. Finnish craftsmen and designers have created one of a kind items through out the centuries. Arctic nature's long, dark winters and magical light summer nights have inspired designers to generate unique products for Your everyday use or for the most sophisticated occasions.
The jewelry in our collection is made of bronze, silver and gold, like it has been for thousands of years all around Scandinavia. Precious stones have been used for at least 7,000 years, as symbols indicating status and wealth. In ancient times, precious stones were shrouded in a veil of supernatural mystery and they were worn as amulets or talismans. As well as protecting the wearer from evil spirits, they also ensured the blessings of angels and saints. While keeping the evil at bay, they were also health-promoting: they provided protection against poisoning and the plague, attracted the benevolence of princes, and steered seafarers safely home.
Although Finland does not have the most costly of precious gems, a surprising number of diverse, colorful stones can be found in the Finnish bedrock. Bronze in the traditional jewelry range is set with granite, chrome marble, sun quartz and jasper. Silver is the setting for spectrolite, chrome marble, jasper, snow quartz and rhodonite. Some of the models also feature rock crystal, amethyst, green agate, amber and moonstone. Spectrolite is a precious stone glowing in shades of green and dark blue. It belongs to the labradorite family and is only found in Finland, primarily in the Ylämaa area in the south eastern part of the country.
Puukko Knives
A puukko is the Finnish word for the traditional Finnish or Scandinavian style woodcraft belt-knife that is a tool rather than a weapon.
In Scandinavia and all of Europe, the Finnish puukko is well known and highly esteemed. These knives are razor sharp, have long edge retention, and are easy to sharpen. Finnish knives are comfortable, practical, lightweight and durable. The Puukko is an excellent tool that will endure for many decades. Some are rugged working tools, others are beautiful collector’s knives, but all are made for use.
Puukkos, and Nordic knives in general have the peculiarity that there is only one bevel on the blade, which forms the working edge, they are therefore very easily sharpened, as all is needed is to grind this bevel to get the sharpness back. The fact that the bevel is big allows finding it intuitively on the stone. The puukko often sport a grind that looks like a saber grind. However, there are no secondary edge bevels which leave the edge extremely thin and incredibly sharp. Due to the sharpness of the edge, these knives will often out cut just about anything
