Brusletto
Knives - Tradition and quality for over 100 years
Brusletto & Co.'s history goes right back to 1896 when Rognald Brusletto
started up as a knifesmith and scythe maker in Geilo, Norway. Forging of tools
and knives was nothing new in Hallingdal. the history of mining for ore in Hardangervidda
and manual production of sickles, scythes, axes and swords around Geilo had
already started 1500 years before. Geilo became an established craft center
for the forging of tools for work and leisure early on. It was thus a very long
tradition that the craftsman and industrial pioneer Rognald Brusletto entered.
When he got his hand on the mechanical hammer from America, he designed and
developed tools for using this in the production of sighs. The river running
close to the Brusletto factory today was an important tool for using this hammer.
He then opened up the way to technical development and industrial production
that would put its stamp on the industry and the local community for many generations.
Today Brusletto & Co AS produces veneer sport and camping knives.
Their knives are an important tool whether you are hiking or hunting and fishing.
The knives are designed and produced to be used. The shape of the handle and
knife blade differs, depending entirely on the need you, the user, want to meet,
and not least what fits your hand best.
For the most part, they use curly birch for the handles and Sandvik
12C27 stainless steel for the blades of the knives. The steel is a high value
stees which is treated, pressed and hardened to optimal hardness. A Brusletto
knife will retain its sharpness for a long time and at the same time being relatively
easy to re-sharpen when necessary.
The curly birch used for the handles is a genetically deformed type
of birch where the structure of the wood gives every handle a unique pattern.
In this way your knife is unique. Other kinds of wood used are ordinary birch
and american nut tree. No timber we use in the production of our knives is endangered.
Most of the Brusletto knives are supplied in a smart presentation
box. Brusletto's best-selling and best known knife is "Hunter". More
than 1.2 million sold since the beginning of its production in 1961.
The environment is important to Brusletto & Co. and they have
recycling procedures for waste materials where this is possible. Brusletto is
proud of their knives, which are made with the overall experience of more than
112 years' production. Brusletto's basic idea is that a knife is a fellow-companion
on a trip, a good tool that will help you to carry out tasks both big and small.
It will be at your side... always!
