WoodsKnife Oy

What they make

According to their website, WoodsKnife is a small, family-run knife-making workshop based in Kauhava, Finland, operated by Harri Merimaa, who represents the third generation of knife makers in his family. The workshop hand-produces traditional Finnish knives ("puukko") in both standard and special models, alongside specialty lines such as the Predator and Raptor series, a hiking axe, kitchen and camp knives, and vintage-style designs. Knives are offered in carbon steel and stainless steel versions. Beyond finished knives, WoodsKnife also sells components for hobbyists and knife-makers, including full-tang blade blanks, handle materials, and leather intended for sheath production, letting customers assemble their own knives. Products are distributed through the company's own online store as well as a network of authorized retailers, with some items sold exclusively through that reseller network, indicating both direct-to-consumer and wholesale/retail trade channels. The site presents the operation as an artisanal, small-scale workshop rather than an industrial manufacturer, releasing new designs in periodic collections. No formal certifications, machine-park details, or production-capacity figures are stated on the site.
