Dadpool, you said that you are new to Traditionals but you certainly are homing in on some high-lights of the Traditional world !
It took me over 40 years to discover the Scandinavian blades. Norway, Sweden & Finland all have a long history of forging very sharp & ergonomic knives that are just so enjoyable to use. The more i look into them the more variety of styles i keep finding. These knives encompass a huge body of knowledge.
I don't know the Falcon but i do have a Kellam Wolverine which is a superb 'do-it-all' knife and i suspect your Falcon will prove to be similarly capable.
Ebay has many vintage Finnish Puukkos listed most of the time. Many are customs made by numerous different master smiths working in their own little shop. Even the 100 yr old ones can still cut like magic so you might want to keep an eye out for a few of these to add to your growing collection of good choices.

This forum smooths out the learning curve a great deal! I wouldn't have researched Scandinavian knives, nor arrived at this particular puukko, without recommendations from folks here.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye peeled for other Scandinavian fixed blades -- thanks for the suggestion re: vintage puukkos.
 
Came home to this, today. Smith & Sons Pioneer Nessmuk. This is going to make agreat little carry fix blade.

 
Here's a nice one that I got in today. It's a new old stock Camillus-made Western S-901 camp knife. I love the extra details on this model. Long pulls on the blade and tools. Nice swedge on the main blade. Pimped out bolsters. Nicely shaped awl. Very unique for a scout pattern is how the design shows almost no tang when the knife is all closed up. Not sure what the term is for that. The stainless blades are mirror polished. The jigging on the Delrin is so good, it's hard to believe it's not real bone.

This knife will clean and polish up quite nicely.

Just got back home, to find that the Viper in rosewood has arrived, joining the Talon in rosewood and the Case chestnut bone SBJ...misssing is the case SBG damascus as I had to send it to Case, due some wobble that developed.

I had two more stockman patterns come in today, both beauties! First up is one of the new Tuna Valley Railsplitters.

The second is an early to mid 2000s Bulldog Premium Stockman in first rate matched popcorn stag.

The railsplitter, with its great steel, will see a great deal of pocket time. First though, to the stones!
 
Looks like someone had a fantasic day! :)
 
Thanks, Gus, will miss you at BLADE this year, maybe next I'll be able to come back.

Python, I agree on the reverse frost etches, to me they are really well done and a touch of class.
 
Did you know that the 2006 Canal Street Cutlery knives were made by Queen ? Queen was helping them out until CSC could get their own 'show' up & running. I think the first knives made by CSC came out in 2007.
This is info i have been told. Would be neat to hear from someone who actually knows and have it confirmed or corrected.

I read something similar on another forum. Erick chimed in and stated that CSC was using parts supplied by Queen when they first got started. Not sure if Queen actually did any work for CSC. Perhaps Erick will chime in here and clarify.

I also read somewhere that Red Hill Cutlery supplied their own dyed bone for their SFO's from CSC. I wouldn't swear by it but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere when I was hunting down a Cannitler.
