Saturday's new puukko. Strangely, whoever cut and fitted the handle didn't put anything over the blade end of it. I stuffed some epoxy putty into the pores, and into the cracks, and coated the whole handle with a clear epoxy finish (almost dry).
I thought I recognized that stamp; I love this knife. Love, Love, Love. I have another one of his fine knives and I confess that I am able to love more than one wo.... er.... knife.Todor Hristov is the maker.
A couple more pictures.
Thanks. I love the handle, too. Nice and long and comfortable.
Great batch of pig stickers and their spawn!
These are the puukko's I own now. Missing from the picture are a leuku (saami knife made over 30 years ago by brothers Laiti in northernmost Finland) and Roselli big hunter, a hunter handle with small leuku blade.
The Laiti brothers leuku knife before I sharpened it and oiled and waxed the sheath.
Roselli big hunter with Iisakki Järvenpää puukko.

I like your style Dave- beautiful Work!
I finally have a MORESTH Fixed Blade. this being an early 1970's, A.G.Russell Morseth. Used for 30 years and lovingly cared for- to me this make this knife Super special, still so so closed to full bladed, Micarta Gunstock Handle, original Sheath in fine condition, The Knife is tight as the day it was made, this knife being the Laminated Steel version. Down to the very tidy Soldering Blade / Guard - just a fantastic Knife, kind of what I describe as an "Honest Knife" nice to have that's for sure!
