Karesuandokniven

Karesuandokniven is based in Karesuando, in Swedish Lapland north of the Arctic Circle, at an address the site lists as Råstogatan 2. It operates seasonally, opening for its summer season on June 16 per the site's own notice. The workshop describes its knives as following "hundraåriga lokala slöjdtraditioner" — hundred-year-old local craft traditions — though no specific founding date is stated on the site itself, and this pass found no independently corroborated founding year worth reporting, so none is given.

Handles are made from materials the site says are sourced locally: reindeer horn, masur birch, and beech ("renhorn, masurbjörk och bok"). The catalogue includes traditional fixed-blade knives, folding knives, Damascus-steel knives, mushroom knives, hunting and fishing knives, axes, and accessories, plus a customizable "Galten" model buyers can specify themselves. The site frames the knife as historically "ett självklart och oumbärligt verktyg i vardagen" — an obvious and indispensable everyday tool — for life in the region's harsh climate, a claim presented as the maker's own cultural framing rather than independently verified history.

Karesuando sits in the same northern Sápmi craft region associated with Sámi duodji knife-making, but the site itself does not explicitly claim a duodji or Sámi lineage for the workshop, and no such claim is made here that the maker itself does not state.
