Brusletto

Brusletto & Co AS was established in 1896 by Rognald Brusletto.

The history of ore mining on Hardangervidda and the craft production of scythes, sickles, axes, and swords around Geilo started already 1500 years ago. Early in its history, Geilo became an established power center for forging tools for work and leisure.

It is therefore a very long tradition that the craftsman and industrial builder Rognald Brusletto joined when he started up as a knife and sickle smith in Geilo in 1896. When he designed and developed the machine hammer based on hydropower, he simultaneously opened up for technical development and industrial production that would mark the company and the local community for several generations. Today, Brusletto & Co produce fine sports and hiking knives.
Our knives are an important tool whether you are going on a hike or you are going to hunt and fish. The knives are designed and manufactured to be used. The shape of the handle and the blade varies depending on the needs you, the user, wish to meet. And not least, what feels best in your hand.

The steel we use is high-grade knife steel. It is treated, stamped out, and hardened to the optimal hardness. The knife should retain its sharpness for a long time while not being difficult to sharpen when needed.
We use different types of wood in our handles such as curly birch, birch, olive wood, walnut, and burl walnut. Our wood materials come from various places and are not endangered.

We strive for an environmentally friendly production and have return routines for residual materials where possible.
We are proud of our knives, made with experience gathered over more than 120 years of production.
Our idea is that a knife is the companion on the trail, a good tool that should help you solve both small and large tasks. It should be by your side… always!
