the Tapio was $50.00 from Early Winters or somewhere similarI have two Puukos. I only have a pic of one at hand, my Hackman Tapio Wirkalla. I've had these for decades. Have no idea of the original cost anymore.

I'm pretty sure it was less. In that time period, I didn't have $50 to spend on a knife. Might have been $30.the Tapio was $50.00 from Early Winters or somewhere similar
Yup, those were sold through the Brookstone stores here in the mid 1970s.Brookstone sounds right.
Rob, I've not used it yet. But it really does feel good in the hand.

That's a beauty you have there. How did you acquire it?

Nice work as usual. I like the top one very much. Not a fan of the lower style (partial tang exposed) seems incomplete, it's a legit style, well executed - just not my style.Rich
