Dunno. And if so, are they any relation to Outers gun cleaning stuff?Were 'Outers' knives named after someone?
The first Outers pattern was made well before WW2 by Western Cutlery. An "outer" was slang for an outdoorsman or a survivalist type that spent a lot of time in the outdoors.Were 'Outers' knives named after someone?

I prefer that sheath to the later plastic oneMoved from my "indoor" rollator (Nova Traveler, 3 wheels so narrowerand no seat
) tote bag to strong side sock today. Weather will allow shorts for the next few days, so why not?
Cold Steel FINN BEAR Puukko, in the original nylon sheath.I believe the Puukko is traditional
If not, let me know and I'll delete this post.

Me too. The plastic one is fiberglass reinforced or something. Not very kind to edges.I prefer that sheath to the later plastic one![]()
No, I like the flexible belt loop on the original sheath. It allows you to have it on your belt, with the sheath in your jeans pocket, or even on the belt, with the sheath INSIDE the waistband. I have the original sheath for my Roach Belly, but gave my first Finn Bear to a friend, only to find CS had changed the sheath when I went to replace it. The plastic sheath also has a bigger footprint.Me too. The plastic one is fiberglass reinforced or something. Not very kind to edges.
