I wanted a new knife and was searching the web for something that might grab my attention. I didn't have style in mind and just yesterday was looking at the Gerber Prodigy. Don't worry I didn't buy one!
Anyway, I ended up ordering a Lapin Puukko #3003 tradional Finnish knife. There is a very nicely done factory video on youtube but I can't seem to copy a link to paste it here on my ipad. If your interested do a search for "Lapin Puukko" and you'll find it. I enjoyed watching it and then placed my order.
The knife spec's:
#3003; Leukupuukko 3, A larger puukko with a blade about 4 1/8", and about 8 1/2" long overall. This is a good knife for those who like a slightly larger blade. The highly polished carbon steel blade is about .121" thick and hardened to about 59 on the Rockwell C scale. The knife and sheath weigh about 3 3/4 ounces. It comes with the traditional pouch sheath that hangs from a twisted thong. $43
Anyone have or seen one?
