The Finnish knife is the source of legends, and each knife has the looks of its maker and customer. On The Edge exhibition presents knives made by four master bladesmiths.

The notion of a bladesmith is usually associated with an forge and the clangour of hammer, but the work is also strongly involves knowledge of materials and planning. Even a visually pleasing blade or knife must be usable. The simpler the knife, the more accurate the proportions and the more the materials must harmonize with each other.

The exhibition presents a traditional but today somewhat mysterious professional group, milliners. The professional title of milliner comes from the French word modiste. It means a designer, manufacturer and seller of fashionable accessories for women, especially hats. Milliner and hatter have traditionally been two different professions; milliners design and makes hats for women and hatters for men.
