Recommendation? Andersson & Copra Sportsman

I need some help and opinions.

I want a Puukko style knife and came across this brand. There's little feedback on the brand.

My only hesitation is the price , at $290 it seems steep.
Do any of you Puukko fans have experience with the brand or can advise me of alternatives?

The blade steel is AEB-L Stainless and I do prefer SS.
I also like the size of the knife and style of the sheath.

Another thing about this particular knife is that the blade grind is high hollow and not scandi, I'm ok with that too.

What really draws me to this knife is the shape of the blade and handle. I like the straight handle with stacked leather.
It would be used for utility work, nothing heavy.

Let me know what my you think.

That's a beautiful knife. If you want real traditional, have a look at Roselli -- their Carpenter's Knife is a classic puukko. Or anything from Kellam. Ragweed Forge has some excellent choices.

Thank you for your advice, I will have a look at those, trying to find stainless limits my choices, but I'm open minded.
