Marttiini Naava

Collector’s knife for the year 2022. Naava is a pretty knife with subtle green color mixed with light-colored curly birch as well as veg. tanned leather. The handle is made of curly birch but it has two green spacers in it. Sheat is sewn with green thread that supports the theme beautifully. Word “naava” means beard moss, the moss that hangs from trees like a beard. Back in the old days, it was told that it is a great indicator of how clean the air is in that area. If you see “naava” air should be clean as naava (beard moss) is one of the first things to disappear if air gets polluted.
