Cabin Chef Knife is a versatile general purpose knife. This knife is excellent for chopping and cutting vegetables and meat, as well as doing small chores at the campfire. Marttiinis knife making tradition can be seen in the small detail of the blade: the slightly upturned tip of the spine. The purpose of the upturned tip was originally to make it easier to lift a hot pot on top of an open fire. The Knife is part of the Cabin Chef set designed by Harri Koskinen.
