The Elkhound Knife is developed from the Hound Dog Knife, which was originally made as a custom award for hunting dog competitions. Despite its name, this model is also suitable for enthusiasts of other hunting dog breeds, such as the Finnish Spitz or Jämthund.
While these knives make impressive and fine gifts for dog enthusiasts, they are designed to be practical and functional, with materials chosen accordingly. The handle is made of lacquered birch burl and features a brass bolster. The dark stripe at the top of the handle is leather, and the upper bolster is cast brass in the shape of an elkhound head. The blade is polished carbon steel and 10 cm in length. The sheath is made of light vegetable-tanned leather with brass fittings.
A technically similar knife is the Hound Dog, which features a brass bolster cast in the shape of a hound’s head.
