Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

Thanks. I'm entranced by the blade shape.
Maybe I'll appreciate the long hollows in the handle more when I'm fighting a giant electric penguin in the Sahara.

Though a narrow blade works better in a broad place than a broad blade works in a narrow place.

I'll be carrying this generous gift to watch New Scandinavian Cooking.

It's a cool-looking knife Jer :cool: Enjoy your cookery programme! :D :thumbsup:
 
Well, I bought the leather snap-around for the Ontario Seneca, but it didn't work very well, so I put my old 119 in the new sheath and put the OKC in the old Buck's flap holster. Then last Saturday I bought the 2006 Buck 119 with no sheath, so I ordered a plastic Buck 119 sheath (cheaper, but still by (or for) Buck)).

I could put the Ontario back in the flap holster and put the 119s in the other 119 sheathes, but I think my old Buck should have its own sheath back, and the Ontario really wants a deep pouch sheath with a liner cut to match the slant of the handle.

I like the full hollow grind on the lower one that I bought today more than the fat-lipped hollow grind on my original one.

Blade by Kustaa Lammi (1901 - 2001), Made in Kauhava, Finland. Model: 150mm.

Blade is 5"7/8 (150mm) long.

Hand Forged Carbon steel with satin polish.

Blade has rhomboid crossection. It is 0.14" (3.5 mm) thick at rhomboid's widest.

Traditional scandinavian grind.

I believe the blade is over 50 years old. NOS item. Not many in existence nowadays. I was lucky to come across a few of them recently. These are the blades used by Iisakki Jarvenpaa, including his horse head knives.These were, some say (and I will not argue), the best puukko blades ever made. I have not polished the blade, decided to leave it in its original state. Custom Handle : Brass, Stabilized Karelian Birch Burl, G10 Spacers. Assembled on a rat-tail tang with epoxy. Custom Leather Sheath with a Wood Liner. Stitched by hand. Treated with beeswax. Distressed (aged, antiqued) leather finish.View attachment 2377230View attachment 2377231View attachment 2377232View attachment 2377233View attachment 2377234View attachment 2377235
