The drawknives on the coat of arms of Kiiminki reflect the traditional craftsmanship of the locality, especially the making of wooden containers and sledges. The coat of arms was designed by Oskari Jauhiainen and Olof Eriksson, and was approved by the Kiiminki municipal council at its meeting on 17 June 1968. The Ministry of the Interior confirmed the coat of arms for use on 1 October of the same year.^[4]
