1974 and 1976.
A bit out of context, just wanted to share some experiences. My knife today is a plain Victorinox. What I wanted to write about are the experiences with hiking and camping knives in the second picture. I think very highly about all of these. The Roselli is quite heavily modified by me, I took off the hole in the end of the handle and also reshaped the handle otherwise for my liking. The Woodsknife is in my opinion at the same level as a tool and much cheaper. The Brisa Nessmuk is also modified, I took off quite a bit of the hump in the blade and made the sheath, the sheath that came with it is not at the same level as the knife which is a shame. The nessmuk blade shape is difficult to fit in a sheath, therefore the modifications.
Of all of these, if I had to pick just one, it would be the nessmuk. It does all the work required of a camp knife with ease, it is an excellent outdoor kitchen knife and it handles firewood well. It is the largest knife I would carry. Roselli and Wookdsknife are however easy to take along and also remove with the dangler I made. Both have excellent blades. If I would have to think of another knife by Brisa that would fill the same needs as the nessmuk I would choose their Trooper 115, it is slightly shorter and with a straight back puukko blade with full tang, materials are the same.
