List of products by brand WoodJewel

Wood Jewel is a Finnish brand specializing in the artisan creation of traditional knives and crafts, based in Kolari, in the Finnish Lapland region. Founded and led by craftsman Kauko Raatiniemi, Wood Jewel is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the ancient crafting traditions of the Sámi (Lappish) people. The core of their production consists of typical Finnish knives, the Puukko (a smaller general-purpose knife) and the Leuku (a larger, more robust Sámi working knife). Each piece is handmade, lending it a unique and authentic character. A hallmark of Wood Jewel is the abundant use of local natural materials, particularly beautiful curly birch wood (visakoivu) and reindeer antler, often artistically and intricately combined to create handles that are not only functional but also aesthetically rich in tradition. Blades are typically made from carbon steel (excellent for woodworking and easy sharpening) or stainless steel, featuring a Scandinavian grind. In addition to knives, usually accompanied by fine, hand-stitched leather sheaths, Wood Jewel also produces other items symbolic of Lappish culture, such as Kuksa (traditional wooden cups). Wood Jewel appeals to collectors, bushcraft enthusiasts, lovers of Nordic culture, and anyone seeking an authentic piece of Finnish/Lappish craftsmanship that combines natural beauty, tradition, and practical functionality.
