Did the fins capture and use KV-2 during the winter war or during WW2?

No.
We captured one SMK heavy tank during Winter War, but could not put into use.

1941 we had a chance to capture one at Salla region, but when the Soviet crew decided not to come out, the tank was blown up.

The smk wasnt captured because it was too heavy for finns to tow
