C -
Did some looking thru my stuff and I suspect your puukko is either by
Reino Kankaanpaa or Iisakki Jarvenpaa. Let us know which. Kankaanpaa
blades are fairly scarce - hope it's by him. Reino died some time back, but
his son Altti Kankaanpaa is still making puukko in Kauhava. He just uses
a "AK" as a mark.
BTW - that price was a steal! Congrats on a nice find.
