They are also popular among collectors and enthusiasts of traditional Finnish tools. The craftsmanship involved in making a kirpp knife is highly regarded, with many knives being passed down through generations. Today, kirpp knives are not only functional tools but also cultural artifacts, representing the rich heritage of Finnish craftsmanship.
