if you don't mind, may I ask, the question's been in my mind for a long while, any story about this watch? looks very special
That's a stunner. If you have time, I bet the folks in this thread would like to see it as well:Received an interesting knife today. A copy of one of three models by the Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala.

After the success of his "Wirkkala puukko" knife by Hackman Cutlery, one of which is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Tapio continued to draw knives. Tapio Wirkkala offered several of his sketches to the Finnish knife company LapinPuukko.

Knives puukko (in two versions, with guard and without guard), leuku (large and small), and this Sami puukko. In 1977-78 LapinPuukko produced 5600 of the first model (2800 and 2800). The second model remained on paper. The third model was released in a trial batch with a plastic handle, the model was not popular and did not get into mass production.

A master from Moscow made it for me according to Tapio's drawing with a brass guard, as the designer intended, but with a handle made of stained hornbeam instead of plastic.

Well, as usual, at the end of the story there is a dog.

Deftones have a beer?
I do like that blade! It’s my own preference over dagger double grinds. Call me a nut!
Your's is bigger......Nice size but it would benefit with the addition of a lanyard/fob for pocket removal.
