Puukkos, leukus, scandis, tell your tales, your knowledge, the history, anything

As of late, I've been nurturing an even greater interest in puukkos. I've had quite a few Moras, some Helles, Cold Steel's economy versions (Finn Wolf and Finn Bear), the original Hackman Tapio Wirkkalas, Kellams, the 5" blade Sissipuukko and a few custom interpretations(a puukko from Diving Sparrow, and the Polaris, designed by Kevin Estela and made by Scott Gossman). I've been looking at the EKA folders and the various other manufacturers. Not being a big fan of the scandi grind, I am limited in what I want to get. I do however really like the basic designs. These are not my pics, but some of what I have right now.

I'm interested as well. For what I use a camp knife for (mostly wood and fish), I find the thin stock and larger, more rounded handles work best for me. I have a custom being made right now that mimics the design of a Mora by a great guy named Mike Griffin in CA.
