Great information and photos!
Direct contact with the master is priceless.
Good man.

Quality control is wonderful, I took some Finnish blades and knives. Indeed forged, but there was a big variation of quality even within the same party - some of the blades are too soft, some too solid.

Here is an example too hard, not Finland, Japan higonokami.
Form blades in the profile is the same as in Finnish.
A little hard work and went chipped blade - too hard blade that is evil.
Here hardness of about 61-62 HRc.

I see Marco used 80CrV2 - steel for knives for planers,
circular knives, circular saws for timber industry.
An excellent choice for the Finnish knife
