The Finnish Puuko/Kellam knife

[silenthunterstudios]

I would like to add a Finnish style knife to my collection, I would like to get something to use, but still looks nice. I was looking at the Kellam brand, any ideas?

Kellam has some nice knives. You might also want to look at the selection of nordic knives at Ragweed Forge:

In particular you might want to look at the knives from Karesuando. These come from around the Finnish/Swedish border actually north of Finland. They are similar in general style, but I think the execution is nicer than on a lot of Finnish knives. The prices are also very good.

Ragweed forge has a good cross cut of modern "scandi" knives some traditional some quite not so. There are some differences in style from country to country but the functionality is pretty much the same. Personally I much prefer the slighgtly convex grind to flat and hollow is totally out, reason for this is that I like to have the ability to whittle and work with wood.
