Eräpuu Oy

What they make

According to their website, Eräpuu Oy is a small Finnish workshop in Kemi (Hepola) that designs and produces knives, leather sheaths, and gift items, combining machine work with handcraft. Knives are described as the company's main product, made to order for companies across Finland, alongside gift items built to customers' own ideas and specifications. The company was founded in 2004 by the Kehusmaa brothers; its manager had already spent eight years making knives and gift items before starting the firm, and the workshop moved from a garage into larger premises with an attached factory shop in 2005. In 2010 the company absorbed a family-run rug-weaving business, and now also sells weaving supplies — eco hollow-core and tricot yarns, poppana weft in dozens of colours, fish-net and paper yarns — plus custom-made loom warps and made-to-order woven rugs. Products are dispatched by cash-on-delivery shipping, and business customers can obtain dedicated catalogues and price lists.
