Uses for the Marttiini Black 8 Folding Knife

#

• Outdoor Activities: Ideal for camping, hiking, fishing, and similar recreational activities.
• Everyday Tasks: Useful for opening packages, cutting cardboard, ropes, and other everyday materials.

From the first hold, the knife feels sturdy. With a weight of 102 grams, it sits well in the hand, although it appears slightly heavier compared to similar models like the Victorinox Sentinel. The design resembles military and tactical knives, giving it a cool look.

Advantages and Strengths of the Knife

#

The affordable price combined with the attractive design is a big plus. In initial tests, the knife cut through paper and strings without any issues, indicating that it is delivered sharp. The blade has a flat grind, making it more robust and durable, although less sharp than a hollow grind. Thanks to the thumb stud, the knife can be opened with one hand, which is practical but may not be legal in some countries. The belt clip is also a useful feature for attaching the knife conveniently to a pocket.

Disadvantages of the Knife

#

The advantages can also be seen as disadvantages. The thumb stud could be a reason not to buy the knife, as it might cause legal issues. It can be removed if necessary. Given the affordable price, the knife may become loose after some use, but this can be quickly fixed with an Allen wrench. It is also expected that the black coating of the blade will eventually show scratches over time.

Conclusion & Opinion

#

The Marttiini BLACK 8 (Musta 8 Taittoveitsi) is a solid and straightforward folding knife. The stainless steel blade and the liner lock provide safety and reliability. The heavy metal feels comfortable in the hand. For around 30 euros, you can’t go wrong with this purchase.
