See....? This is exactly why I should avoid reading these post! Please excuse me while I go internet shopping.........
 
When it will be finished and posted I'll put a link here too. The knives are maasepän puukkos with 85-90 mm blades crafted by four different smiths.

What is it exactly? Karesuando?

Later this year when I get high speed Internet connection to my house I'll post pics of my collection. The first knife my father gave me as a kid was a custom puukko with an amazing mosaic end pin. I've also inherited my great grandparents sami dress knives.

Hi . no it's a Finnish wilderness wood jewal . I do have a Karesuando though
 
this is a great thread. i have been interested in the puukko style knives for a couple years now, but am now getting more and more infatuated with finding a good one. in fact, i am waiting on a maker to get back from vacation currently to get my first custom.

so this thread couldn't have come at a better time.

i did not realize that the Suunto brand was from Finland. cool.

also....HFinn, how do you like that Veikko Hakkarainen? i would be interested in your thoughts, as it looks like you have put that thing through some good use. (thanks)
 
excellent. i'll take a look. thanks Frederick.

EDIT...just read it. that answered one of my questions (with both words and a pic)....this is not a rhombic shaped blade. thanks again.
 
An old friend gave me this one many years ago, at the time i was working in a warehouse and found it ideal for cutting down cardboard boxes and such, anyhoo one day i popped down to a local shop for a few items, the shopkeeper asked "What is that on your belt"? I replied that it is a skinning knife i use it at work, "Where do you work" he asked and to this day i do not know why i said it, but i mentioned the name of a local undertaker ( mortician ) the poor chap gulped and refused to take any money from me, forty years on and it still makes me smile.

Looks like it would make a pretty good pocket carry.
 
Neat and cool and groovy. The Scandinavians seem to have a good knife tradition where knives are used as everyday tools and as part of the culture, with knife-using classes in schools and a tradition of ornamented knives for dress occasions.
 
HFinn, who is the maker of knife in your second picture ? "MK" ? with black & red sheath.
You already answered this for me in another thread but i cannot find it now.
thanks kj.
 
Thank you Frederick. We are lucky to have you as a BF member. Most of us in North America have very little knowledge about 'Scandinavian' knives, so it is a big help to have you so willing to share your knowledge on these knives.
