Sure. The Puukka is a Tapio Wirkkala I bought from Brookstone in the early eighties. I think I paid around 40 bucks for it.

Then the Orvis is a gift from my wife, it's a cool little knife.

The third one is a custom made knife from a maker in NC ( ncground.esty.com ) . I bought it cause I thought is was cool.

I want to find a traditional hunter blade with either a stag or leather stacked washer handle. I am not sure what I want but I will know it when I see it. LOL.

By the way the information on this website is mind boggling, info overload. Thanks for looking.

something like this??? i made it for a friend
Im no good at the leather stacking thing, but i did it to b nice

and no im not implying I would make you one, like i said i dont do the Leather stacking
But, you can buy the knife off Ebay for about 20 bucks make one yourself, if ya want to call one your very own

Yeah, thats the general idea. I'm going to shop around a while on this site and others. I think you did pretty good with the leather stacking. Thanks for looking.
