Karesuando Unna Aksu Hunter’s Axe – Nature Small

Up in the North of Sweden, in the land of the midnight sun, and the Northern Lights, 250Km North of the Arctic Circle, lies the small village of Karesuando. The village was founded with its first permanent house in 1670.

Karesuando Kniven manufactures these high quality knives and axes using age old craft traditions, which date from a time when the Sami’s were still living as Nomads. Reindeer leather, bone, horn, curly birch, birch bark and wool were readily available materials and were used to manufacture many everyday objects. Karesuando is one of Sweden’s most esteemed knife makers.
