Blacksmith Martti Malinen keeps hammering away at the Hanhiniitty smithy year-round, producing traditional, high-quality handicrafts.
Products
The range of items forged at the workshop includes a traditional Finnish knife called a puukko, axes, timbering tools and building fittings. Martti's products are renowned for their superior design and ease of use. Each product is unique, so items can be tailored to the customer's needs with just the right dimensions, or even with the customer's initials engraved on the piece. In the summer, the smithy's products are on display and for sale. During the slow season, the products are available by mail order or by booking a visit to the workshop with the blacksmith.
The sales exhibition is open by request during the low season.
Courses & demonstrations at the Blacksmith's Workshop
Forging courses and demonstrations at the Hanhiniitty smithy help keep the craft tradition alive.
The village blacksmith demonstrates his skills - and welcomes you to visit and try yourself!
The blacksmith introduces visitors to his trade and forges a traditional tool that has been chosen by the visitors in advance (for example a puukko blade, fire-striker or billhook).
Courses are also available on other times for small groups privately by request.
You can book your place at the bottom of the page.
