The Marttiini Condor Deluxe Classic Curly Birch is a knife that speaks to both tradition and elegance, combining practical performance with timeless design. Crafted in Finland by a company with nearly a century of experience, this fixed blade is a striking example of Marttiini’s dedication to fine materials and meticulous craftsmanship. It’s the kind of knife that looks as good on display as it feels in hand, offering a balance of durability and artistry that makes it a standout in any collection.
At the heart of the knife is its 4.33-inch stainless steel clip point blade with a polished finish. This blade shape is well-regarded for its versatility, giving you the ability to perform fine detail work with the narrow tip while still maintaining enough strength for slicing and general use. The polished surface adds a refined appearance while also protecting the steel from corrosion, ensuring that it not only performs but continues to look its best over time. Lightweight yet reliable, the blade captures the Marttiini reputation for sharpness and precision.
The handle elevates this knife into something truly special. Made from waxed curly birch, each handle has unique patterns and natural beauty that no two knives can replicate. The warm, organic feel of the wood contrasts beautifully with the mirror-like blade, and the waxed finish enhances the grain while providing additional protection. Hidden tang construction gives the handle a seamless look while still ensuring lasting strength and stability. Holding this knife is as much an aesthetic experience as it is a practical one—the tactile warmth of the birch paired with the polished steel creates a harmony of natural and man-made artistry.
Every fine knife deserves a sheath that complements its design, and this Marttiini delivers with a traditional brown leather sheath. Fitted with a belt loop, it allows for safe carrying and easy access, whether you’re in the outdoors or simply keeping it secured for storage. The sheath’s craftsmanship mirrors the knife itself—functional, handsome, and built to last. Together, the knife and sheath make for a complete package that’s ready for both use and admiration.
Measuring 9.05 inches overall and weighing just 3.4 ounces, this fixed blade is balanced and lightweight, making it practical without ever feeling bulky. It’s a knife built for everyday cutting needs but elevated with materials and finishing touches that transform it into something much more meaningful. The combination of utility and artistry makes it an excellent choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who values fine craftsmanship.
