It's beautiful, and that sheath is amazing.

You are correct. Toten knife from Norway. I have a half dozen of them. Also were made in same style from carved wood or horn - very neat. Nice knife - beautiful grain in you knife sheath/handle.

Thank you; any idea as to a closer date than 1865-1974?

Unless it's signed, sort of hard as style has been regional for 100+ years. I would "guess" maybe 1930-1950 - but only a guess. great knife you've got there. The dates in my pics are the dates of the smiths; not that specific knife.

Tongueriver-

Beautiful puukko. Jarvenpaa's Aito model. A classic design. I have one also.

Duncan, will try. Been a bit under the weather lately.

My latest Puukko from Arto Liukko arrived yesterday.
When I made my intention to purchase a Rautalapmi, these were my exact words for the design.
"I am very interested in a Rautalampi puukko.
My request is that it is inspired by you and/or your father.
A design you have not made that you would like to try for the first time.
Is that possible?"
Jari said, "We have seen a couple of rautalampi style puukkoa where the handle was made out of horse teeth. So inspired from that we decided to use cow horn."

Wow, thats really nice.

Beautiful puukko all. Ahti also did one in similar style.

I've got that same Jarvenpaa as well. Have had it for several years. Love my puukkos.

A Jelio made Ebony and nickel silver Puukko with Vanadis 4 Extra blade.

He built this to my handle concept. Fit and finish is as good as it gets.



The sheath is a custom made byJosh of SwissHeritageCo . It is a beautiful and solid piece of expert leather work.
Fit and finish on this is equal to that of Jelio to his knife.

Sweet! I had one very similar set up for commision but something ended up different than requested, hammered finish vs satin, so it wasn't meant to be. I keep thinking I need to revisit that one.

Jelio makes a great puukko. I'm still hoping a damascus one shows up again.

I know nothing about puukkos. But I’m learning and looking at the pictures here. I’m not big on moras because I don’t like the scandi grind. I see the puukko has more grind. And I like the ones with stacked handles and end caps. Pretty neat design though. Thanks to all that have shared here.
