Review of Marttiini Oy

Some connoisseurs consider the knives sold within this factory outlet to be the finest within a nation known for the quality of its precision steel. The array of scary-looking knives is fascinating to anyone interested in hunting, fishing, or even in regular kitchen use. Deriving from a factory based in Finnish Lapland (in Rovaniemi), they're priced from 20€ ($32) for a serviceable all-purpose blade to 150€ ($240) for a Finnish machete, capable of doing some real damage, engraved with traditional Sami motifs. The shop faces the city's Lutheran cathedral and displays its products behind glass like works of art.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
