Eräpuu Lapinleuku 210, Birch
- Product Code: 8121
Domestic, traditional Lapinleuku with a leather sheath. Handle made of birch. Crafted in the northern regions of Finland by Eräpuu.
The carbon steel blade retains its sharpness better than stainless steel, but it requires more maintenance from the user. Always strive to dry the knife’s blade thoroughly after use, and apply oil when necessary - even cooking oil helps remarkably!

Sharpening:

• Grind away the wire edge with the finer side of the stone.
• Use water for sharpening as well.
• Clean and dry the blade.
• Sharpen the knife regularly to avoid needing extensive touch-ups later.
Sheath Care:
• Treat the knife sheath with leather conditioner as needed.
Knife Care:
• Do not wash the carbon steel knife in the dishwasher.
• Always dry and clean the blade after use.
• Store the knife in its sheath and keep it in a dry place.
• Periodically treat the carbon steel with food oil or paraffin oil.
