Jussi,

Search for Puukko and you will find some nice threads. Scandinavian knives, to put it in a categorie, are collectors items as well and considered as ethnographic arms.

A lovely puukko, a work of nice craftsmanship and art. Is this
one you made? If so, I bow to your skill and design instincts.

No no no no Rich, I didn't do it, it was a friend of mine who is a third generation traditional Puukko-smith. He´s name is Markku Vilppola. It´s all traditionally made... you should see the guys damascus... You can see something with google. I will also try to see if I still have some old pics when I come from work in the evening

I know I have pics of a damascus Viking spear head somewhere...

I have seen pictures of his work in Ristinen's book and online.
A gifted knife smith.
