Well it's not bad,but the blade is IMHO too narrow and it's made in China...
I prefer a traditional scandi :)
 
I think it is a popular misconception that a blade be wide...one aspect of wood craft that is often overlooked is game prep... and I'm not talking about a white tailed deer. But more like a trout, or a bunny.. in which case a slender blade is right handy.
 
For that blade lenght I prefer something that's around 2 cm wide.Just a personal preference ;) And my 2 cm wide puukko is very good at cleaning fish.Haven't tried it at a bunny...yet :D
 
I agree about a narrow blade being quite handy. But the narrow blade just doesn't look right on that handle...
 
It looks like a traditional puukko.

Anyone notice the price on the link? It is free!
 
Looks like a great bird and trout knife, But "Made in China" scares me. I have never had any luck with knives made in China. Nothing against the Chinese, they do make good knives, but when a company goes overseas for manufacturing, they do it to save money(increase profits?),so the corners have already been cut everywhere else.(Materials, domestic labor, ect.).
 
Looks like typical bird and trout to me similar to a Case Knives Finn or Buck Pathfinder. Good story to go with it though.
 
It reminds me of a boning knife. Not my preference as a survival blade though.
 
SI guy I did see the pukkko... Nice!! Personally I think a boning knife would make a decent woods blade... as would a bird an trout knife.. of an appropriate blade length..one thing I will mention is that the blade is made of carbon steel which many production fixedblades are not these days.
 
Lokks like what was once called, appropriately enough, a "Finn."

Anyone know if the "story" is correct? Its not in my copy of Cole.
