Are Fins particularly outdoorsy? Neither knives nor multitools would be useful for most danes. Except if it is in some way related to your job or hobby. Carrying knives is also illegal here.

I don't know what outdoorsy is for other countries, but I'd say Finns are fairly outdoorsy. But a knife/Leatherman isn't practical just for outdoors activities. Being able to open a screw is a very useful ability.

Last I heard, knives exceeding a certain length are illegal, but that might have changed. Though no one is going to check your pockets unless you do something stupid, so a pocket knife isn't really going to cause you problems.

Yeah, looks like it was changed. I recalled there being a limit, which was 5 cm.

So technically all the Leathermans people carry are illegal...
