Is there a question, new example ? This was a great thread, well discussed on these, but its been 19 years. Stuff on these doesnt come up much.

Interesting. I hate I missed the information in your original post. I don't understand why people delete information from the archive. I made a Lapp inspired style of knife in the early 90s, it was not a big seller, but a very good work knife. It makes me believe that most people don't really use the knives they buy.

Apologies for the poor photo's, these are the ones taken on the day of purchase as a record of where when and how much, and always meant to be upgraded later.

well hereby again;

it does not look like the standard or usual ones with either horse or (more modern) straight handle but the blade clearly is a puuko. total lenght 14 cm
The grip and scabbard is made of bone with reindeer inscription (Svalbard? perhaps...)
